[Broken Chords Can Sing A Little]

Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor) - The Wretched

Just a reflection
Just a glimpse
Just a little reminder
Of all the what abouts
And all the might have could have beens
Another day, some other way
But not another reason to continue
And now you're one of us, the wretched

The hopes and prays
The better days
The far aways
Forget it

It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it, did it?

Now you know this is what it feels like

The clouds will part and the sky cracks open
And god himself will reach his fucking arm through
Just to push you down
Just to hold you down
Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
And it's hard to believe it could come down to this
Back at the beginning
Sinking, spinning

And in the end, we still pretend
The time we spend, not knowning when
You're finally free, and you could be

(But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to)
(It didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it)

Now you know this is what it feels like
Now you know this is what it feels like

(You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming)
(You can try to stop it but it)

Hermann Hesse - Im Nebel

Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern!
Einsam ist jeder Busch und Stein,
Kein Baum sieht den andern,
Jeder ist allein.

Voll von Freunden war mir die Welt
Als noch mein Leben licht war;
Nun, da der Nebel fällt,
Ist keiner mehr sichtbar.

Wahrlich, keiner ist weise,
Der nicht das Dunkel kennt,
Das unentrinnbar und leise
Von allen ihn trennt.

Seltsam, im Nebel zu wandern!
Leben ist Einsamsein.
Kein Mensch kennt den andern,
Jeder ist allein.
