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

heresy
he sewed his eyes shut because he is afraid to seehe tries to tell me what i put inside of mehe's got the answers to ease my curiosity
he dreamed a god up and called it christianity your god is dead and no one caresif there is a hell i'll see you there he flexed his muscles to keep his flock of sheep in linehe made a virus that would kill off all the swine
his perfect kingdom of killing, suffering and paindemands devotion, atrocities done in his nameyour god is dead and no one cares
drowning in his own hypocrisyand if there is a hell i'll see you thereburning with your god in humilitywill you die for this?
march of the pigs
step right up march pushcrawl right up on your kneesplease 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 downall the pigs are all lined up
i give you all that you wanttake the skin and peel it backnow 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 upi want to watch it come downmaybe afraid of it, let's discredit it, let's pick away at it
i want to watch it come downall the pigs are all lined upi give you all that you wanttake the skin and peel it backnow doesn't that make you feel betterthe pigs have won tonightnow they can all sleep soundlyand everything is all right

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 believethe 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 seesnow the only pure thing left in my f**king world is wearing your diseasehow 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 goand maybe that f**ked me up much more than you'll ever knowhow 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 memy perfect ring of scarsyou know i can see what you really areyou didn't hurt me, nothing can hurt me, you didn't hurt me, nothing can stop me nowyou 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 thoughtshe's covered with scabs he is broken and sorethe me that you know doesn't come around muchthat part of me isn't here anymoreall 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 decaythe 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 ini can try to scratch away....the sound in my ears
i can see it killing away....all of my bad partsi don't want to listen....but it's all to clearhiding backwards inside of me....i feel so unafraid
annie, hold a little tighter....i might just slip awayit wont give up it wants me deadgoddamn this noise inside my head
i do not want this
i'm losing ground, well you know how this world can beat you downand 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 skinand nothing comes bleeding out of me just like a waterfall i'm drowning in2 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 feeli stay inside my bed, i have lived so many lives all in my headand 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 liketo 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 helpi do not want this (x4)and don't you tell me how i feel (x3) you don't know just how i feeli want to know everything, i want to be everywherei want to f#ck everyone in the world, i want to do something that matters!!! [5x]

reptile
she spreads herself wide open to let the insects inshe leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's beenshe has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
seeds from a thousand others drip down from withinoh my beautiful liar, oh my precious whoremy disease my infection, i am so impuredevils speak of the way in which she'll manifestangels bleed from the tainted touch of my caressneed to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness i now know the depths i reach are limitlessoh my beautiful liar, oh my precious whoremy 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 worldthe deepest shade of mushroom blueall fuzzy
spilling out of my head
hurt
i..hurt myself todayto see if i still feel i focus on the pain
the only thing that's realthe needle tears a holethe old familiar sting try to kill it all away but i remember everythingwhat have i become?my sweetest friend everyone i knowgoes away..in the endyou could have it allmy empire of dirt i will let you downi will make you hurti wear my crown of s**tupon my liar's chair full of broken thoughtsi cannot repairbeneath the stain of timethe feeling disappears you are someone else
i am still right herewhat have i become?my sweetest friend everyone i know goes away in the end you could have it allmy empire of dirti will let you down i will make you hurt if i could start againa million miles awayi would keep myselfi would find a way
