The Downward Spiral
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He couldn't believe how easy it was
He put the gun into his face
Bang!
(So much blood for such a little hole)
Problems (do) have solutions (you know)
A lifetime of fucking things up fixed in one determined flash
Everything's blue
In this world
The deepest shade of mushroom blue
All fuzzy
Spilling out of my head
