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
