Lyrics:
Verse 1:
C D Am
I hurt myself today
C D Am
to see if I still feel
C D Am
I focus on the pain
C D Am
the only thing that's real
C D Am
the needle tears a hole
C D Am
the old familiar sting
C D Am
try to kill it all away
C D G
but I remember everything
Chorus:
Am F
what have I become?
C G
my sweetest friend
Am F
everyone I know
C G
goes away in the end
Am F
you could have it all
G G
my empire of dirt
Am F
I will let you down
G Am (picking)
I will make you hurt
Verse 2:
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
Chorus:
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
Bridge:
if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
