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 hold

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

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

Beneath the stains of time

The feelings disappear

You are someone else

I am still right here

What have I become

My ssweetest 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

If I could start again

A million miles away

I would keep myself

I would find a way

trent reznor is a smart man.

Yes, but it took Johnny Cash to bring the song to life. When Trent sings it you get the sense that he's some angsty 16 year old goth kid sitting in his room cutting himself to get attention.

So blogs consist of just copying and pasting lyirics now? I hope you at least typed them out. I'm just here to keep you in line pal.
