I Can't Give Everything Away (Farewell Mix)
This was anonymously posted at Soundcloud in January of 2017 and it was initially speculated to be a Reznor and Ross creation. This was then confirmed by the fact that the Soundcloud track matched the live arrangement when it was first performed at Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, CA on July 19, 2017.
Lyrics
I know something's very wrong The pulse returns the prodigal sons With blackout hearts, the flowered news With skull designs upon my shoes I can't give everything I can't give everything Away I can't give everything Away Seeing more and feeling less Saying no but meaning yes This is all I ever meant That's the message that I sent I can't give everything I can't give everything Away I can't give everything Away I can't give everything I can't give everything Away I can't give everything Away I know something's very wrong The pulse returns the prodigal sons With blackout hearts, the flowered news With skull designs upon my shoes I can't give everything I can't give everything Away I can't give everything Away I can't give everything I can't give everything Away I can't give everything Away
