  • I'm goin' back
    Of course I am
    As if I ever had a choice
    Back to what I always knew I was
    On the inside
    Back to what I really am
    Look at this pathetic place I made
    With little bits of sticks and hair, and anything I found along the way
    And tell yourself you know
    You're not really what you know you are, you know?
    Of course you do
    I think I may have listened to you
    I think I may have even, listened to you!
    At the height of my demise

    (Breathe, breathe, breathe)
    Break through the surface and
    (Breathe, breathe, breathe)
    Break through the surface and
    (Breathe, breathe, breathe)
    Break through the surface and
    (Breathe, breathe, breathe)
    Break through the surface and

    I am forgiven, I am free
    I am a field on fire
    I am forgiven, I am free
    I am a field on fire

    And oh my god I missed you, it's been so long
    And I am stronger than I have ever been in my decline
    I am stronger than I have ever been in my decline
    For now I know, now I know, now I know for certain
    Now I know, for certain

    Oh burn, motherfucker
    Carry the carcass and throw it on
    Pull up a chair and watch
    The flies come roaring out
    And will surround the entire world
    And blacken out the sky and every last one of you
    Like a plague of locusts
    Like an exit, like an end, like an end, like an end, like the end

    (Breathe, breathe, breathe)
    Break through the surface and
    (Breathe, breathe, breathe)
    Break through the surface and
    (Breathe, breathe, breathe)
    Break through the surface and
    (Breathe, breathe, breathe)
    Break through the surface and

    I am forgiven, I am free
    I am the field on fire
    I am forgiven, I am free
    I am the field on fire

    I am forgiven, I am free
    I am the field on fire
    I am forgiven, I am free
    I am the field on fire

    I can't tell if I am dreaming anymore
    I can't tell if I am dreaming anymore
    I can't tell if I am dreaming anymore
    I can't tell if I am dreaming anymore Writer/s: Atticus Ross, Trent Reznor
