Hurt /// A Way

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 hold

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'm still right here

what have i become

my ssweetest 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
