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
