Metal

Nine Inch Nails · Things Falling Apart [2000]

We're in the building where they make us grow

And I'm frightened by the liquid engineer

Like you



My mallory heart

Is sure to fail

I could crawl around the floor

Just like I'm real

Like you



The sound of metal

I want to be

You

I should learn to be man

Like you



Plug me in

And turn me on

Oh everything is moving here



I need my treatment

It's tomorrow they send me

Singing "I am an American"

Do you?



Picture this

If I should make the change

I'd love to pull the wires from the wall!

Did you?



And who are you?

And how can I try?

Here inside I like the metal

Don't you?



All I know, is no one dies

I'm still confusing love with need
