C      D     Am
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
                                               G
try to kill it all away.. but I remember everything

 Am            F    C               G
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...

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