Hurt (Dedicated To Johnny Cash)

I hurt myself today,
to see if i still feel,
I focus on the pain,
the only thing that’s real,
the old familiar sting,
try to kill it all away,
but I remember everything,
What have I become,
my sweetest friend,
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 liars chair,
full of broken thoughts,
I cannot repair,
beneath the stains of time,
the feelings disappear,
I am someone else,
I am still right here,
What have I become,
my sweetest friend,
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 will keep myself,
I would find a way,
