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 sh--
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...
