Lyrics
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focused on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to queue it all away
But I remember everythin'
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
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
And what have I become
My sweetest friend?
Oh, everyone I know
Goes away in the end
And you can have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I will make you hurt
