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 my crown of thorns
on 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 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
