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 every thing.
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 liars chair:
Full of broken thoughts,
I cannot repair.
Beneath these stains of time,
The feelings dissapear.
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.
And if I could start again,
A million miles away,
I would keep myself,
I would find away.
I don't know why I felt like posting these lyrics, but I did. They don't really reflect anything, maybe my current mood. I'm not really depressed or anything, just in that kind of mood.
You figure it out, I'm stumped.

I know what kind of mood you're talking about. I wonder if there's even a name for it. Intense lyrics, but I liked them.
Rusty do YOU want to hurt youself today? Something about laying in dirt...and moving millions of miles away...
