"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
