Nine Inch Nails - Dear World lyrics

[Verse 1] Yes, everyone seems to be asleep Hey look, you didn’t even know this Couldn’t even tell Just when it started… happening Maybe just as well After all, everything is getting unfamiliar now Trajectory in decline And we’ve become obselete A frame at a time [Chorus] I’m locked inside here Have to stay With people who aren’t here All the way Pictures and faces On display With people who aren’t here All the way (all the way) All the way (all the way) All the way (all the way) [Bridge] It is coming, and you didn’t even notice, yeah you didn’t even notice… (you were missing) [x4] [Verse 2] (left channel) Dear world, I can hardly recognise you anymore And yet I remain certain There is an answer in you I feel like I have lived so long sometimes Run out of things to try to do I can’t concentrate my way out What about…? I have been entirely patient No, no, not this time (right channel) I am leaving because I can’t recognise who I have been You go on spoiling Hey look, it’s happening Without me you didn’t even notice Of course it’s been happening all along, permanent intervals As you become obsolete, who are you? Oh this place… I can’t concentrate I begin to go through another of that we have been But I know I can’t trust myself with this again [Chorus] I’m locked inside here Have to stay With people who aren’t here All the way Pictures and faces On display With people who aren’t here All the way (all the way) All the way (all the way) All the way (all the way) [Outro] Yes, everyone seems to be asleep
