Closer⁵

[Intro: Shaffer Smith]

(Closer, closer, closer, closer, closer...)

[Verse 1: Trent Reznor]

You let me violate you

You let me desecrate you

You let me penetrate you

You let me complicate you

(Help me) I broke apart my insides

(Help me) I've got no soul to sell

(Help me) the only thing that works for me

Help me get away from myself

[Pre-chorus 1: Cristina Scabbia, Trent Reznor]

Looking for a higher ground (Higher...)

Searching for this something missed before (Searching for more...)

From a higher ground (Higher...)

Will I fall in a right direction? (You get me closer to God!)

[Chorus: Trent Reznor, Andrew Taggart]

You get me closer to God

(We ain’t ever getting closer to God!)

[Verse 2: Caleb Followill]

Stranded in this spooky town

Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down

This floor is crackling cold

She took my heart, I think she took my soul

With the moon I run

Far from the carnage of the fiery sun

Driven by the strangled vein

Showing no mercy I do it again

[Pre-chorus 2: Shaffer Smith, Trent Reznor]

And I just can't pull myself away

Under her spell I can't break

I just can’t stop (I just can't stop)

I just can't stop (I just can't stop)

(You get me closer to God!)

[Chorus: Trent Reznor, Andrew Taggart]

You get me closer to God

(We ain't ever getting closer to God!)
