Lyrics

Nine Inch Nails — As Alive As You Need Me To Be

The way it makes me feel, infection

It's almost like a tongue on the back of my neck

I never had a choice, connection

I never had a chance to catch my breath

It's eating up the space between us

It's eating up all remaining doubt

It's filling up the hole inside you

It's trying to find a way to let itself out
