Ruiner
Nine Inch Nails
The downward spiral (1994)

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 fucking world is wearing your disease
how'd you get so big?
how'd you get so strong?
how'd it get so hard?
how'd it get so long?
you had to give them all a sign
didn't you?
didn't you?
you had to what was mine
didn't you?
didn't you?
didn't you?
oh
the ruiners a collector
he's an infector
serving his shit 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 fucked me up much more than you'll ever know
how'd you get so big?
how'd you get so strong?
how'd you get so hard?
how'd 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 me now
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 me now
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
