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 liars 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.





(Johnny Cash, Nine Inch Nails cover version)
