“Smashed up my sanity
Smashed up my integrity
Smashed up what I believed in
Smashed up what's left of me
Smashed up my everything
Smashed up all that was true
Gonna smash myself to pieces
I don't know what else to do.”

Broken, Nine Inch Nails

“Do you know how far this has gone?
Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome
It runs even deeper

In in a dream I'm a different me
With a perfect you
We fit perfectly
And for once in my life I feel complete-
And I still want to ruin it.”

Even Deeper, Nine Inch Nails

“I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything.”

Hurt, Nine Inch Nails

“as black as the night can get
everything is safer now
there's always a way to forget
once you learn to find a way how
in the blur of serenity
where did everything get lost?
the flowers of naivete
buried in a layer of frost
the smell of sunshine
i remember sometimes.”

I'm Looking Forward To Joining You, Finally, Nine Inch Nails

“i still recall the taste of your tears
echoing your voice just like the ringing in my ears
my favorite dreams of you still wash ashore
scraping through my head 'till i don't want to sleep anymore.”

Something That I Can Never Have, Nine Inch Nails

“Broken bruised forgotten sore
Too fucked up to care anymore.”

Somewhat Damaged, Nine Inch Nails
