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. you could have it all, my empire of dirt. i will let you down. i will make you hurt.
i wear this crown of shit upon my liar's 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.

if i could start again, a million miles away, i would keep myself, i would find a way.
