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

you could have it all

my empire of dirt

i will let you down

i will make you hurt



i wear this crown of shit

upon my liar's chair

full of broken thoughts

i cannot repair

beneath the stain of time

the feeling disappears

you are someone else

i am still right here



what have i become?

my sweetest friend

everyone i know

goes away in the end

you could have it all

my empire or 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
