Hurt

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focused 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
For me to let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shame
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
That I just can't repair

Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
But 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
And 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
