Verse 1
(Hey God)
Why are you doing this to me?
Am I not living up to what I'm supposed to be?
Why am I seething with this animosity?
(Hey God)
I think you owe me a great big apology

Chorus
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

Verse 2
(Hey God)
I really don't know what you mean
Seems like salvation comes only in our dreams
I feel my hatred grow all the more extreme
(Hey God)
Can this world really be as sad as it seems?

Chorus
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

Post-Chorus
Don't take it away from me
I need you to hold on to
Don't take it away from me
I need you to hold on to
Don't take it away from me
I need you to hold on to
Don't take it away from me
I need someone to hold on to
Don't tear it away from me
I need you to hold on to
Don't tear it away from me
I need someone to hold on to
Don't tear it away from me
I need you to hold on to
Don't tear it, don't tear it
Don't take it, don't take it, don't

Verse 3
(Hey God)
There's nothing left for me to hide
I lost my ignorance, security, and pride
I'm all alone in a world you must despise
(Hey God)
I believed your promises, your promises and lies

Chorus
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie
Terrible lie

Bridge
(Terrible lie)
You made me throw it all away
My morals left to decay
(Terrible lie)
How many you betray
You've taken everything
(Terrible lie)
My head is filled with disease
My skin is begging you please
(Terrible lie)
I'm on my hands and knees
I want so much to believe

Outro + Background whispers
I give you everything
My sweet everything
I need someone to hold on to
I give you everything
I need someone to hold on to
I need someone I need someone
My sweet everything
I need someone to hold on to
I need someone to hold on to
I give you everything
I need someone to hold on to
I need someone to hold on to
My sweet everything
I need someone to hold on
I need someone to hold on to
I give you everything
I need someone to hold on to
I need someone I need someone
My sweet everything
I need someone to hold on to
I need someone to hold on to
I give you everything
I need someone to hold on to
I need someone I need someone
My sweet everything
I need someone to hold on to
I need someone to hold on to

Biography

edit bio
Nine Inch Nails is an industrial rock project led by the incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist Trent Reznor. Reznor has been the driving force behind the project for many years, serving as the only constant member until Atticus Ross officially joined in 2016. Despite the ever-changing lineup of band members for live performances, Nine Inch Nails has consistently produced highly influential records across a wide array of genres, including industrial and electronic rock.

Throughout the 1990s, Nine Inch Nails released several groundbreaking albums that pushed the boundaries of music. The project gained a reputation for its innovative sound and intense live performances. After eight successful studio releases, Reznor decided to put Nine Inch Nails on hiatus in 2009 to focus on other projects. However, he made a triumphant return in 2013 with announced tour dates across the United States and overseas.

Nine Inch Nails has received numerous accolades over the years, including 13 Grammy Award nominations and two wins for songs "Wish" and "Happiness In Slavery." Reznor himself was recognized in Time magazine's list of the year's most influential people, and Spin magazine has hailed him as "the most vital artist in music."

The band has released a total of nine studio albums since their debut in 1989, as well as four original EPs. Nine Inch Nails was also one of the first artists to have an independently released record go platinum. Their albums have achieved great success, with two reaching the number one spot on the U.S. charts - The Fragile and With Teeth - and four others landing in the top 5.

Each official Nine Inch Nails release is assigned a Halo number, providing a unique identifier for fans. The band's discography showcases their evolution and innovation over the years, solidifying their status as one of the most influential and groundbreaking acts in the music industry.
