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 the way  
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.

I wear this crown of thorns  
Upon my liars 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.
