Smashing Pumpkins
The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get for my pain?
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
(chorus)
Even though I know - I suppose I’ll show
All my cool and cold-like old job
Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in a cage (2x)
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I’m still just a rat in a cage
NIN
she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters when everything is meaningless
fragile
she doesn't see her beauty
she tries to get away
sometimes
it's just that nothing seems worth saving
I can't watch her slip away
I won't let you fall apart
she reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
hoping someone can see
if I could fix myseld I'd - but it's too late for me
I wont let you fall apart
