The Downward Spiral Lyrics


mr self destruct

i am the voice inside your head....and i control you
i am the lover in your bed....and i control you
i am the sex that you provide....and i control you
i am the hate you try to hide....and i control you
i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
........mr self destruct
i speak religion's message clear....and i control you
i am denial, guilt, and fear....and i control you
i am the prayers of the naive....and i control you
i am the lie that you believe....and i control you
i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
........mr self destruct
you let me do this to you [8x]
i am the needle in your vein....and i control you
i am the high you can't sustain....and i control you
i am the pusher i'm a whore....and i control you
i am the need in you for more....and i control you
i am the bullet in the gun....and i control you
i am the truth from which you run....and i control you
i am the silencing machine....and i control you
i am the end of all your dreams....and i control you
i take you where you want to go
i give you all you need to know
i drag you down i use you up
........mr self destruct

piggy

hey pig
yeah you
hey pig piggy pig pig pig
all of my fears came true
black and blue and broken bones, you left me here i'm all alone
my little piggy needed something new
nothing can stop me now cause i just don't care
nothing can stop me now i don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now i just don't care
hey pig
nothing's turning out the way i planned
hey pig
there's a lot of things i hoped you could help me understand
what am i supposed to do, i lost my s**t because of you
nothing can stop me now i don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now i don't care
nothing can stop me now i don't care anymore
nothing can stop me now i just don't care
nothing can stop me now
nothing can stop me now
nothing can stop me now
nothing can stop me
nothing can stop me now
nothing can stop me now
nothing can stop

heresy

he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to see
he tries to tell me what i put inside of me
he's got the answers to ease my curiosity
he dreamed a god up and called it christianity
your god is dead
and no one cares
if there is a hell
i'll see you there
he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in line
he made a virus that would kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and pain
demands devotion, atrocities done in his name
your god is dead
and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisy
and if there is a hell
i'll see you there
burning with your god in humility
will you die for this?

march of the pigs

step right up march push
crawl right up on your knees
please greed feed (no time to hesitate)
i want a little bit, i want a piece of it, i think he's losing it
i want to watch it come down
don't like the look of it, don't like the taste of it, don't like the smell of it
i want to watch it come down
all the pigs are all lined up
i give you all that you want
take the skin and peel it back
now doesn't that make you feel better?......................

shove it up inside surprise lies
stains like the blood on your teeth
bite chew suck away the tender parts
i want to break it up, i want to smash it up, i want to f**k it up
i want to watch it come down
maybe afraid of it, let's discredit it, let's pick away at it
i want to watch it come down
all the pigs are all lined up
i give you all that you want
take the skin and peel it back
now doesn't that make you feel better
the pigs have won tonight
now they can all sleep soundly
and everything is all right

closer

you let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
you let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you
help me i broke apart my insides, help me i've got no soul to sell
help me the only thing that works for me, help me get away from myself
i want to f**k you like an animal
i want to feel you from the inside
i want to f**k you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god
you can have my isolation, you can have the hate that it brings
you can have my absence of faith, you can have my everything.
help me you tear down my reason, help me it's your sex i can smell
help me you make me perfect, help me become somebody else.
i want to f**k you like an animal
i want to feel you from the inside
i want to f**k you like an animal
my whole existence is flawed
you get me closer to god
through every forest, above the trees
within my stomach, scraped off my knees
i drink the honey inside your hive
you are the reason i stay alive

ruiner

you had all of them on your side, didn't you? didn't you?
you believed in all your lies, didn't you? didn't you?
the ruiner's got a lot to prove he's got nothing to lose and now he made you believe
the ruiner's your only friend well he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
the raping of the innocent you know the ruiner ruins everything he sees
now the only pure thing left in my f**king world is wearing your disease
how did you get so big? how did you get so strong?
how did it get so hard? how did it get so long?
you had to give them all a sign. didn't you? didn't you?
you had to covet what was mine. didn't you? didn't you?
the ruiner's a collector he's an infector serving his s**t to his flies
maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
maybe it's a part of me you took it to a place i hoped it would never go
and maybe that f**ked me up much more than you'll ever know
how did you get so big? how did you get so strong?
how did you get so hard? how did it get so long?
and what you gave to me
my perfect ring of scars
you know i can see what you really are
you didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me, you didn't hurt me, nothing can stop me now
you didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me, you didn't hurt me, nothing can stop

the becoming

I beat my machine it's a part of me it's inside of me
I'm stuck in this dream it's changing me i am becoming
the me that you know had some second thoughts
he's covered with scabs he is broken and sore
the me that you know doesn't come around much
that part of me isn't here anymore
all pain disappears it's the nature of, of my circuitry
drowns out all i hear no escape from this, my new consciousness
the me that you know used to have feelings
but the blood has stopped pumping and he's left to decay
the me that you know is now made up of wires
and even when i'm right with you i'm so far away
i can try to get away....but i've strapped myself in
i can try to scratch away....the sound in my ears
i can see it killing away....all of my bad parts
i don't want to listen....but it's all to clear
hiding backwards inside of me....i feel so unafraid
annie, hold a little tighter....i might just slip away
it wont give up it wants me dead
goddamn this noise inside my head

i do not want this

i'm losing ground, well you know how this world can beat you down
and i'm made of clay, i fear i'm the only one who thinks this way
i'm always falling down the same hill, bamboo puncturing this skin
and nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall i'm drowning in
2 feet below the surface i can still make out your wavy face
and if i could just reach you maybe i could leave this place
i do not want this (x4)
and don't you tell me how i feel (x3)you don't know just how i feel
i stay inside my bed, i have lived so many lives all in my head
and don't tell me that you care, there really isn't anything
now is there?
you would know. wouldn't you?
you extend your hand to those who suffer, to those who know what it really feels like
to those who have had a taste like that means something>and oh so sick i am and maybe i don't have a choice
and maybe that is all i have and maybe this is a cry for help
i do not want this (x4)
and don't you tell me how i feel (x3)
you don't know just how i feel
i want to know everything, i want to be everywhere
i want to f#ck everyone in the world, i want to do something that matters!!! [5x]

big man with a gun

i am a big man (yes i am) and i have a big gun
got me a big old d**k and i... i like to have fun
held against your forehead
well i'll make you suck it
maybe i'll put a hole in your head
you know?...just for the f**k of it
i can reduce you if i want, i can devour
i'm hard as f**king steel and i've got the power
i'm every inch of man and i'll show you somehow
me and my f**king gun, nothing can stop me now
shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot... i'm going to come all over you
me and my f**king gun
me and my f**king gun!

a warm place

no words, instrumental

eraser

need you dream you find you taste you
f**k you use you scar you break you
lose me hate me smash me erase me
kill me (x continuously)

reptile

she spreads herself wide open to let the insects in
she leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
she has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
seeds from a thousand others drip down from within
oh my beautiful liar, oh my precious whore
my disease my infection, i am so impure
devils speak of the way in which she'll manifest
angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
i now know the depths i reach are limitless
oh my beautiful liar, oh my precious whore
my disease my infection, i am so impure

the downward spiral

he couldn't believe how easy it was....he put the gun into his face...bang!
(so much blood for such a tiny little hole)
problems do have solutions
a lifetime of f**king things up fixed in one determined flash
everything's blue in this world
the deepest shade of mushroom blue
all fuzzy
spilling out of my head

hurt

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
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know
goes away..in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
i wear my crown of s**t
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
i cannot repair
beneath the stain of time
the feeling disappears
you are someone else
i am still right here
what have i become?
my sweetest friend
everyone i know goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
i will let you down
i will make you hurt
if i could start again
a million miles away
i would keep myself
i would find a way
