}}'''"While I'm Still Here"''' is the thirteenth track on the 2013 release ''[[Hesitation Marks]]''. It is sometimes referred to by its acronym '''WISH,''' though this may be confused with "[[Wish (song)|Wish]]".
===While I'm Still Here (Breyer P-Orridge 'Howler' Remix)===
'''''Running Time: 7:03''''' This remix contains dialog snippets of Genesis and Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge. It begins with the sound of Howler Monkeys at the LA Zoo, which plays throughout the track. Quarter note kicks replace the staccato beat of the original version. An instrumentally minimalistic track, other notable sound effects include a Tibetan Thighbone Trumpet which sounds in the second verse. Unofficial transcription:
Beginning (spoken by Lady Jaye Breyer P-Orridge):
==Live==
This song debuted live on the [[2013/09/28 St. Paul, MN|first night]] of the [[Tension 2013 leg Tour]], and appeared at most of the shows on that tour, transitioning straight into "[[Black Noise]]". It featured backing vocals by [Nine Inch Nails Live 2013[Lisa Fischer]] and [[Sharlotte Gibson]] tour. "While I'm Still Here" has not been played since.

The portion of the final chorus that says:

Even then
