Lyrics Down In It - Nine Inch Nails

Down In It

Kinda like a cloud I was up way up in the sky
And I was feeling some feelings you wouldn’t believe
Sometimes I don’t believe them myself
And I decided I was never coming down
Just then a tiny little dot
Caught my eye it was just about, just about too small to see
But I watched it way too long
It was pulling me down
Shut up!
So what, what does it matter now?
I was swimming in the haze now I crawl on the ground
And everything I never liked about you is kinda seeping into me
Try to laugh about it now but isn’t it funny how everything works out
«I guess the joke’s on me,» she said
I was up above it
Now I’m down in it
I used to be so big and strong!
I used to know my right from wrong!
I used to never be afraid!
I used to be somebody!
I used to have something inside!
Now just this whole that’s open wide!
I used to want it all!
I used to be somebody.
I’ll cross my heart I’ll hope to die
But the needle’s already in my eye
And all the world’s weight is on my back
And I don’t even know why
What I used to think was me
Is just a fading memory
I looked him right in the eye and said «Goodbye»
I was up above it
Now I’m down in it
