Sanctified
Nine Inch Nails
Pretty Hate Machine (1989)

it's still getting worse after everything i've tried
what if i found a way to wash it all aside?
what if she touches with those fingertips?
as the words spill out like fire from her lips
if she says come inside i'll come inside for her
if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified inside you
heaven's just a roumor she'll dispell
as she walks me through the nicest parts of hell dance of hell
i still dream of lips i never should have kissed
well, she knows exactly what i can't resist
and if she says come inside i'll come inside for her
and if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified inside you
"dear mom and dad, this is the hardest letter i've ever had to write.
i'd hoped somehow to get out of this quickly so that you'd never have to know
about it, but that just isn't possible now. i don't know what's going to
happen, but what can i say to you? will 'i'm sorry' make a difference?
will it ease the pain? the shame you must be feeling...forgive me...please"
i'm just caught up in another of her spells
well, she's turning me into someone else
every day i hope and pray that this will end
but when i can i do it all again
and if she says come inside i'll come inside for her
and if she says give it all i'll give everything to her
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified inside you
i am justified
i am purified
i am sanctified inside you
