I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain, the only thing thats 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
For the bit between the verses here I like to hit the last few
strings of Am,(ebg)then slowly move up your strumming so your
hitting bgd,then up to gda and finally when you've hit daE a few
times,I go for two go back down and hit ebg once.Then straight
into the next verse.
I wear this crown of thorns, upon my liars chair
Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time, the feeling disappears
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.
