Hurt

(words by Trent Reznor)

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; 
million miles away. 
I would keep myself; 
I would find a way.

I would find a way..
