Terrible Lie lyrics

Song information

Artist: Nine Inch Nails

Lyrics

Hey god, why are you doing this to me
Am I not living up to what im supposed to be
Why am I seething with this animosity
Hey god, I think you owe me a great big apology

(Chorus x 4)
Terrible lie

Hey god, I realy dont know what you mean
Seems like salvation comes only in my dreams
I feel my hatred go all the more extreme
Hey god, can this world really be as sad as it seems?

(Chorus x 4)

Dont take it away from me
I need someone to hold on to
Dont take it away from me
I need you to hold on to
Dont take it away from me
I need someone to hold on to
Dont take it
Dont take it
Dont take it

Hey god
X 5

Theres nothing left for me to hide
I lost my ignorance, my security, and pride
Im all alone in this fucking world you must dispise
I believed your promises, your promises and lies!

(Chorus x 8)

You make me throw it all away
My morals left to decay
How many you betray
You've taken everything
My head is filled with disease
My skin is begging to bleed
Im on my hands and knees
I want so much to believe
