My empire of dirt

johnny cash - 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 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.

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 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 will keep myself. i would find a way.

As emotionally charged as it sounds, it's just been stuck in my head for the last week or so. It's good for pensive moods.

Ahh, good old Johnny. Cash, this time around. I've had enough of other Johnnie. Anyways, over and out.
