(Verse 1)
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real

(Verse 2)
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

(Chorus)
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

(Verse 3)
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
(Verse 4)
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

(Chorus)
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

(Outro)
If I could start again
A million miles away
I will keep myself
I would find a way
