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.
not a fan of the johnny cash version, but whatever floats your boat man.
