I Do Not Want This Lyrics - The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails

I'm 

Losing ground 

Well you know how this world can beat you down 

And I'm 

Made of clay 

I fear I'm the only one who thinks this way 

I'm always falling down the same hill 

bamboo puncturing the skin 

and nothing comes bleeding out of me 

just like a waterfall I'm drowning in. 

Two feet below the surface I can still make out your wavy face 

and if I could just reach you maybe I could leave this place. 

I do not want this 

I do not want this 

I do not want this I do not want this 

Don't you tell me how I feel

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Don't you tell me how I feel 

Don't you tell me how I feel 

You don't know just how I feel 

And I 

Stay inside my bed 

I have lived so many lives all in my head 

And don't 

Tell me that you care 

There really isn't anything now 

Is there? 

You would know, wouldn't you? 

You extend your hand to those who suffer, 

to those who know what it really feels like, 

to those who've had a taste, like that means something. 

And oh so sick I am. 

And maybe I don't have a choice, 

and maybe that is all I have, 

and maybe this is a cry for help. 

I do not want this 

I do not want this 

I do not want this 

I do not want this 

Don't you tell me how I feel 

Don't you tell me how I feel 

Don't you tell me how I feel 

You don't know just how I feel 

I wanna know everything 

I wanna be everywhere 

I wanna fuck everyone in the world 

I wanna do something that matters 

I wanna know everything 

I wanna be everywhere 

I wanna fuck everyone in the world 

I wanna do something 

That matters 

I wanna know everything 

I wanna be everywhere 

I wanna fuck everyone in the world 

I wanna do something... that matters 

I want to know everything. 

I want to be everywhere. 

I want to fuck everyone in the world 

I want to do something that matters 

I want to know everything. 

I want to be everywhere. 

I want to fuck everyone in the world 

I want to do something that matters
