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,

I bound my liar's chair,

full of broken thoughts.

I can not 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.
