Nine Inch Nails

The Perfect Drug


I got my head, but my head is unraveling
Can't keep control, can't keep track of where it's travelling
I got my heart, but my heart's no good
And you're the only one that's understood

I come along, but I don't know where you're taking me
I shouldn't go, but you're wrenching, dragging, shaking me
Turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky
The more I give to you the more I die

And I want you

You are the perfect drug

You make me hard when I'm all soft inside
I'll see the truth when I'm all stupid-eyed
The arrow goes straight through my heart
Without you everything just falls apart

My blood wants to say hello to you
My feelings want the deadly side of you
My soul is so afraid to realize
How very little good is left of me

And I want you

You are the perfect drug

Without you, without you everything falls apart
Without you, it's not as much fun to pick up the pieces
