To see if I'd 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 could have it all,
My empire of dirt.
I will let you down,
I will make you hurt...
I wear this crown of shit,
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 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.
If I could start again,
A million miles away,
I would keep myself,
I would find a way.
I hurt myself today, To see if I'd 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 could have it all, My empire of dirt. I will let you down, I will make you hurt... I wear this crown of shit, 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 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. If I could start again, A million miles away, I would keep myself, I would find a way. Explain Request ×
