Hurt

Hurt

.

I hurt myself today

To see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole

The old familiar sting

Try to kill it all away

But I remember everything

.

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know

goes away in the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

.

I wear this crown of thorns

Upon my liar's chair

Full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time

The feelings disappear

You are someone else

I am still right here

.

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know

Goes away in the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

.

If I could start again

A million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way

.
