you had all of them on your side, didn't you?
you believe in all your lies, didn't you?
the ruiner's got a lot to prove he's got nothing to lose and now he made you believe
the ruiner's your only friend well he's the living end to the cattle he deceives
the raping of the innocent you know the ruiner ruins everything he sees
now the only pure thing left in my fucking world is wearing your disease
how did you get so big?
how did you get so strong?
how did you get so hard?
how did you get so long?
you had to give them all a sign, didn't you?
you had to covet what was mine, didn't you?
the ruiner's a collector he's an infector serving his shit to his flies
maybe there will come a day when those that you keep blind will suddenly realize
maybe it's a part of me you took to a place i hoped it would never go
and maybe that fucked me up so much more than you'll ever know

I was weened on NIN. Trent was my father figure.

Yeah. Good album. I like The Becoming best. I just listened to it again for the first time in a year or so for an English 101 essay.

I got into NIN right before Broken came out. Pretty Hate Machine was a classic. It wasn't so polished, and felt like it could mature, but it was amazing.

Broken was a great departure into guitar-heavy territory, but the technical skill and emotional power was still there.

The Downward Spiral was a masterpiece, in a way. I am not sure if I like it more than the previous two, but it has a lto going for it. His style really matured, and developed. It feels like he learned a lot technically, and made the best album he could.

After that, it was pretty much downhill. He has done some good songs, but the latest real album (The Fragile) is pretty much a load of arse.
