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
