Hurt
(Trent Reznor)

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
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
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

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Amazingly sad, but this song fits him to a T. I liked seeing his flash backs. Weird, I watched some old videos today and he was one of the guys I chose. Also Dan Fogelberg - speaking of sad. I love both of these guys - dead or alive they live!

He makes it his own. Like empath said, it's almost as if it were written specifically for him.
