HURT

That rendition of an eerie Nine-Inch Nails song by rock and roll legend Johnny Cash.

“HURT” by Johnny Cash

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.
