Nine Inch Nails, Brain Pain

Nine Inch Nails, Brain Pain

Nine Inch Nails Driven In My Brain 

 I stopped waiting on earthen fruit,
 guns to fire but I can not shoot.
 Nine inch nails driven into my brain,
 snails crawling in thick bloody rain.

 I stopped asking for sweetened lies,
 sickness baked within hollow pies.
 Cuts embraced to feel the sweet pain,
 stick in deep, let red be the stain.

 I stopped begging for more misery,
 you that laughed at my mercy plea.
 Seven inch blades twisted to bleed,
 answers never given when I plead.

 I stopped begging so very damn long ago.
 You that lie to feed your deceitful show!
