Nine Inch Nails - Only

〈verse 1〉
I'm becoming less defined as days go by
Fading away and well, you might say i'm losing focus
Kinda drifting into the abstract
In terms of how i see myself
Sometimes i think i can see right through myself
Sometimes i think i can see right through myself
(i think sometimes i can see right through myself)

〈verse 2〉
Less concerned about fitting into the world
Your world, that is
'cause it doesn't really matter anymore
(no, it doesn't really matter anymore)
No, it doesn't really matter anymore
None of this really matters anymore

〈verse 3〉
Yes, i am alone, but, then again, i always was
As far back as i can tell, i think maybе it's because
Becausе you were never really real to begin with
I just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself, yeah
And i just made you up to hurt myself
I just made you up to hurt myself, yeah
And i just made you up to hurt myself
And it worked, yes it did
〈chorus〉
There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me
There is no fuckin' you, there is only me!
There is no fuckin' you, there is only me!

〈post-chorus〉
Only, only
Only, only

〈verse 4〉
Well, the tiniest little dot caught my eye and it turned out to be a scab
And i had this funny feeling like i just knew it's something bad
I just couldn't leave it alone, i kept pickin' at the scab
It was a doorway tryin' to seal itself shut
But i climbed through

〈bridge〉
Now i am somewhere i am not supposed to be
And i can see things i know i really shouldn't see
And now i know why, now, n-now i know why
Things aren't as pretty on the inside

〈chorus〉
There is no you, there is only me
There is no you, there is only me
There is no fuckin' you, there is only me!
There is no fuckin' you, there is only me!
〈outro〉
Only, only
Only, only
Only, only
Only, only

Nine Inch Nails is an industrial rock project led by multi-instrumentalist Trent Reznor, the only constant member for many years until Atticus Ross officially joined in 2016, often selecting a cast of different band members for live performances. It is known for producing several highly influential records during the 1990s encompassing a wide array of genres, including industrial and electronic rock. After eight studio releases, the project was put on hiatus by Reznor to focus on other projects in 2009 before returning with announced tour dates stretching across the United States and foreign countries on March 11, 2013.

Nine Inch Nails has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, winning twice for “Wish” and “Happiness In Slavery.” Leading member Trent Reznor was also featured in Time magazine’s list of the year’s most influential people, and Spin magazine has described him as “the most vital artist in music.”

The band has released nine studio albums since their debut in 1989, alongside four original EP’s and were one of the first artists to have an independently released record go platinum. They’ve had two U.S. #1 albums with The Fragile and With Teeth and four other top 5 charting releases.

Each official Nine Inch Nails release is given a Halo number; a list of all Halo numbered releases can be found here.
