and all that could have been

A few posts ago I answered a survey that I stole from Forgotten Youth. It asked if there was any song that makes me cry. I still say no, but this one comes pretty damn close...

And All That Could Have Been
Breeze still carries the sound
Maybe I'll disappear
Tracks will fade in the snow
You won't find me here

Ice is starting to form
Ending what had begun
I am locked in my head
With what I've done
I know you tried to rescue me
Didn't let anyone get in
Left with a trace of all that was
And all that could have been

Please
Take this
And run far away
Far away from me
I am
Tainted
The two of us
We're never meant to be
All these
Pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my
Nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me
Gone fading everything
And all that could have been

Please
Take this
And run far away
Far as you can see
I am
Tainted
And happiness and peace of mind
We're never meant for me
All these
Pieces
And promises and left behinds
If only I could see
In my
Nothing
You meant everything
Everything to me

-T. Reznor

If you don't have this song, go and find it.

I'll do that. I'm always looking for new music.

It may be hard to find. It's on the album "Still" which was part of the ltd. edition of NIN live album "And All That Could Have Been", and that edition came out in 2002, so finding a copy could be dodgy.

You can find the Still CD for sale on its own here. I haven't seen it on its own in stores though, so that might be your best bet.

Thanks C-Cat. I'm all curious now since it is rare.
