Now I'm Nothing

From NinWiki

"Now I'm Nothing" is a song that was written for and used as an introduction to NIN's set during the Lollapalooza tour in 1991. It was always followed by "Terrible Lie," but was never recorded in the studio nor officially released. A live recording of it can, however, be found on the DVD release of Closure, and in audio form on bootlegs.

Lyrics

    I smashed myself to pieces
    I'm gonna fuck myself up
    I'm sifting through the ashes
    Of what I have become
    
    I gave myself away
    Now I'm nothing
    I let it slip away
    Now I'm nothing
    All that I can do
    Is break myself in two
    I fucked it all away
    Now I'm nothing
   
    Wave goodbye
