Lyrics

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,  
  
[Chorus]  
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 liars 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,  
  
[Chorus]  
  
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,
