(bowie:)
"i hurt myself today
to see if i still feel
i focus on the pain
the only thing that's real"

(reznor:)
"the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but i remember everything"

(both:)
"what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt"

(reznor:)
"i wear this crown of shit
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair"

(bowie:)
"beneath these stains of time
the feelings disappear
and you are someone else
and i am still right here"

(reznor:)
"what have i become?
my sweetest friend"

(both:)
"everyone i know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt

"if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
i would find a way"
