Twist
Nine Inch Nails
Ultra Rare Trax (1998)

well, you've got me working so hard lately
working my hands until they bleed
if i was twice the man i could be
i'd still be half of what you need
still you lead me and i follow
the small of your back up to your chin
over to the tip of your switchblade
as you pull it out as you stick it in
twist, twist, twist
it can go a little deeper
twist, twist, twist
i'm wearing these chains
twist, twist, twist
you make it hurt real good
twist, twist, twist
i love the pain
well, you just leave me nailed here
hanging like jesus on this cross
i'm just dying for your sins
and aiding to the cause
twist, twist, twist
it can go a little deeper
twist, twist, twist
i'm wearing these chains
twist, twist, twist
you make it hurt real good
twist, twist, twist
i love the pain
wrap my soul in bandages
i'm tired of this war
go ahead and cut me
i can't even feel it anymore


twist, twist, twist
it can go a little deeper
twist, twist, twist
i'm wearing these chains
twist, twist, twist
you make it hurt real good
twist, twist, twist
but i love, love the pain
twist, twist, twist
it can go a little deeper
twist, twist, twist
and i'm wearing these chains
twist, twist, twist
make it hurt real good
twist, twist, twist
i love the pain
twist, twist, twist
twist, twist, twist
twist, twist, twist
twist, twist, twist
ahh
(is this on? oh)
i'm so tired i can't get to sleep.
the squeaking of the bed is right in time with the song that's repeating in my head.
it's uncomforting to remember how you used to like a good fuck every once in a while.
i just wanted you to know that when i do it i only think of you.
