Nine inch Nails - Love is not enough

Oh god guys where do I start on this?
I was thinking about this exact song while reading the delicate and devastating fanfic “Drink with Me” by @ink-and-dagger.
That one scene (you know which one).
The office. The dim light. The air thick with cigar smoke. Silco standing there with a bourbon, his voice gravelled and low, eyes half lidded. And then… the shirt unbuttons. The tattoo shows 🥀
This scene nearly ruined me, it felt like I was sitting there, watching him, being as drunk on him as the POV.
This song is pure sex. Sharp. Slow. Dark.
The bassline almost like sweat down a spine,
And of course, Silco would listen to Nine Inch Nails.
Cigar between his lips. Whiskey in one hand. That stare, the kind that makes your whole body forget how to breathe.
He’d let this track play on full volume, just loud enough to drown out the city, and loud enough to numb the thoughts.
Desire. Rage. Hate. All at once. And nothing at all.
And no, this definitely won’t be the last Nine Inch Nails track on this playlist. He wouldn’t let it be. Neither will I.
