The frail / the wretched


(Instrumental)

Just a reflection, just a glimpse
Just a little reminder of all the what abouts
And all the might have
Could have beens, another day, some other way
But not another reason to continue
And now you're one of us, the wretched

The hopes and prays
The better days
The far aways, forget it

It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
It didn't turn out the way you wanted it to, did it?

Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like
The clouds will part and the sky cracks open
And God himself will reach his fucking arm through
Just to push you down, just to hold you down
Stuck in this hole with the shit and the piss
And it's hard to believe it could come down to this
Back at the beginning, sinking, spinning

And in the end we still pretend
The time we spend not knowing when
You're finally free and you could be

But it didn't turn out the way you wanted it to
No, it didn't turn out quite the way that you wanted it

Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like

Now you know
This is what it feels like
Now you know
This is what it feels like

You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
You can try to stop it but

You try to stop it but it keeps on coming
You can try to stop it but it keeps on coming
You can try to fucking stop it but it keeps on coming
Shit, you can try, but it keeps on coming
But it keeps on coming
You can try

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics THE FRAIL / THE WRETCHED of NINE INCH NAILS is also present in the album Tour rehearsal 2013 (2013)

Biografia

Nine Inch Nails are an American industrial rock band formed in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1988 by singer and multi-instrumentalist Trent Reznor. As the primary songwriter, producer, vocalist, and instrumentalist, Reznor has been the only official member of Nine Inch Nails, solely responsible for the project until 2016 when longtime collaborator Atticus Ross was officially integrated as a full member alongside Reznor. The band's music is characterized by electronic soundscapes, dark atmospheres, and introspective lyrics that explore themes such as depression, alienation, and the relationship with technology. Some of their most representative songs include "Head Like a Hole", "Closer", and "Hurt". Their debut album, *Pretty Hate Machine* (1989), marked a turning point in industrial rock, influencing generations of artists. Among their subsequent albums, *The Downward Spiral* (1994) is considered a masterpiece of the genre.
