Nine Inch Nails
While I’m Still Here (Breyer P-Orridge ‘Howler’ Remix)
[Intro: Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge & Trent Reznor]
I'm— I'm limited by— by time, by— by gravity
Um, by all these physical forces
When really I just uh, I wish my consciousness would be liberated completely free
To go everywhere, to be everywhere
To do everything, to be— to be everyone that I ever dreamed of being
Only thing I've ever done
Closest I have ever come
[Verse 1: Trent Reznor with Genesis Breyer P-Orridge]
Only thing I've ever done
Ticking time is running out
Closest I have ever come
Ticking time is running out
Oh, so tired on my own
Ticking time is running out
Best days I have ever known
Ticking time is running out
[Pre-Chorus: Trent Reznor]
Yesterday I found out the world was ending
Yesterday I found out the world was ending
[Chorus 1: Trent Reznor]
A little more
Every day
Falls apart and
Slips away
I don't mind
I'm okay
Wish it didn't have to end this way
[Verse 2: Trent Reznor with Genesis Breyer P-Orridge]
These four walls are closing in
Ticking time is running out
Oh, all the things that might have been
Ticking time is running out
Watch young lovers walking by
Ticking time is running out
God forgive me if I cry
Ticking time is running out
[Chorus 2: Trent Reznor]
A little more
Every day
Falls apart and
Slips away
I don't mind
I'm okay
Nothing ever
Stays the same
While we can
Remember when
Always were, yeah
Even then
Stay with me
Hold me near
While I'm still here
[Interlude: Genesis Breyer P-Orridge]
We do not believe in human feelings
Nor in human senses
Nor human needs, human values, human fears or even human hopes
The only purpose or believe is the path from the mind to the brain
Path from the mind to the brain
Mind to the brain
[Outro: Genesis Breyer P-Orridge & Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge]
This is a preset world, there are no secrets
I feel as though I found my soulmate
Um, I never feel— I never feel alone or lonely
That's just something I don't experience— kind of feeling of alienation
No matter how strange the world outside gets
I know that there is someone that understands me
