Hurt

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 should have been home

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns

Upon my lion's chest

For all the broken bones

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

You should have been home

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt
