  I hurt myself today to To see if I still feel I focus on the pain the The only thing that's that’s real the The needle tears a hole the The old familiar sting try Try to kill it all away but But I remember everything what What have I become? my My sweetest friend everyone Everyone I know goes Goes away in the end you You could have it all my My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear my crown of shit on Upon my liar's liar’s chair full Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair beneath Beneath the stain of time the The feeling disappears you You are someone else I am still right here what What have I become? my My sweetest friend everyone Everyone I know goes Goes away in the end you You could have it all my My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt if If I could start again a A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way
