Johnny Cash - Hurt HD 720p I inflicted a wound on myself today. Just to see if I can still feel something. I focused on the pain, because it’s the only real thing.
The needle digs its hole, old familiar bite, trying to take everything away. But I keep remembering everything.
Here’s what I’ve become, my sweet, old friend. Everyone I’ve known is gone in the end.
And you could take it all, my empire of waste.
And I will disappoint you, I will hurt you.
I sit here, on my throne of lies wearing a crown of thorns, overwhelmed by my stuttering thoughts
and, no, I can’t put things back in order.
Hidden among the veins of time, feelings fade away. And you are someone else. And I'm still here.
Here’s what I’ve become, my sweetest among friends. Everyone I’ve known is gone in the end.
And you could take it all, my empire of waste.
But I will disappoint you, I will hurt you.
If only I could start over, maybe a million miles away.
But I will learn to take care of myself. Maybe I could find my way.
