Hurt

I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
It's the only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
In the old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
And what have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I love
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
Yes, 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, they disappear
You are someone else
But I am still right here
And what have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I love
Goes away in the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
Yes, I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
