The Lovers [2018‐12‐04 San Francisco, California] Songtext
von Nine Inch Nails

I can hear you breathing
I′ve slipped out of time again
Leaving all of you behind, and I'm free
To return to the place where I already am
And have always been
If I just really looked and allowed myself to see

Confusion is seducing me, warm flowing wine
His eyes, summer, hypnotize, they see inside of me
Hot swollen skin want me, take me perfect embrace
Black and bloody, rotten and perfect
The center has moved on and all that′s left is free, finally
Finally, everyone seems to be asleep but me

Take me into the arms of the lovers, free
Take me into the arms of the lovers


Oh, I see you floating there
How could I ever hope to forget?
Always rearranging messes
Those words are a lie, a mirror reflecting in a mirror of a lie
A light shines still always
Shadows in every word beneath black eaves
Please don't leave me here

I could, I could stop it
Maybe I could stop it if I wanted to
But I'm not the one driving anymore
I know who I am
But I know who I am, right?
Please don′t leave me here with you

Take me into the arms of the lovers, free
In, into the arms of a lover
Into the arms of the lovers
Please, into the arms of a lover

I am free
Into the arms of the lovers
