}}'''"Non-Entity"''' is a song that [[Trent Reznor]] debuted on the MTV program ReactNOW! in an effort to support people displaced by Hurricane Katrina in August of 2005.
This song was first played in the aforementioned program, and later became part of the set list in the [[Live: With Teeth]] tours. The tours also included "[[Not So Pretty Now]]," another song from the ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]]'' outtakes. During a chat with fans in the official NIN fan club, [[The Spiral]], Reznor stated that these songs were outtakes from the ''With Teeth ''sessions, and studio recordings of them might one day surface. A live recording of "Non-Entity" appears on ''[[Beside You In Time (halo)|Beside You In Time]].'' [http://www.nin-thespiral.com/]
On Firday Friday the 20th of March 2009, Reznor released the studio version of "Non-Entity" as part of the NINJA summer tour EP via ninja2009.com

This studio-recorded version finally saw the light of day on March 20, 2009, when it was included on the ''NINJA 2009 Summer Tour Sampler'' EP.
===Non-Entity (acoustic)===
Performed at the ReactNOW! benefit, this was the first version of the song to be publicly performed. It features Reznor on piano and vocals with a pre-recorded drum beat. It was made available for purchase as an MP3 download with proceeds going toward charities aiding those affected by Hurricane Katrina.
"Non-Entity" has been performed live on the Live: With Teeth tour. For the 2006 summer leg, a cage of LED lights was lowered in front of the stage, with purple lights behaving like tentacles responding to the music. At the [[Bridge School Benefit]] concert in October of 2006, Reznor performed the song backed by a string quartet.
== Lyrics ==
The sky is not the same shade of blue
Missing in a maze of monochrome
How did I get here and how How can I go home?
The echoes echos in my eyes of Of all they used to see Burning down the world, the world The ashes and debris And all that's left of me, non Non-entity
Try to stand in line, try Try to obey
The ghosts of what I was keep getting in the way
Staring at the sun, blinded Blinded by the light
Now I'm afraid I'm fading out of sight
The echoes echos in my eyes of Of all they used to see Burning down the world, the ashes world Ashes and debris And all that's left of you, and And all that's left of me All have washed away, non Non-entity
