Nine Inch Nails - The Becoming Lyrics

Artist: Nine Inch Nails

Album: The Downward Spiral

  • Songwriters: Trent Reznor

I beat my machine
It's a part of me, it's inside of me
I'm stuck in this dream
It's changing me, I am becoming

The me that you know
He had some second thoughts
He's covered with scabs
He is broken and sore

The me that you know
He doesn't come around much
And that part of me
Isn't here no more

All pain disappears
It's the nature of, of my circuitry
Drowns out all I hear
No escape from this
My new consciousness

The me that you know
He used to have feelings
But the blood has stopped pumping
And he is left to decay

The me that you know
Is now made up of wires
And even when I'm right with you
I'm so far away

I can try to get away
But I've strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away
The sound in my ears

I can see it killing away
All of my bad parts
I don't wanna listen
But it's all too clear

Hiding backwards inside of me
I feel so unafraid
Annie, hold a little tighter
I might just slip away

It won't give up
It wants me dead
And goddamn this noise
Inside my head
...
