Hurt
I fell upon my sword
To see if I could die
I woke upon the morn
And still I was alive
The arrow tears a hole
The old familiar sting
The fates hold out my thread
But cannot cut the sting
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I love fades away in the end
And thou couldst have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let thee down
I will make thee 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
Thou art someone else
And I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I love fades away in the end
And thou couldst have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let thee down
I will make thee hurt
If I could start again
A thousand leagues away
I would keep my oath
I would find a way
To see if I could die
I woke upon the morn
And still I was alive
The arrow tears a hole
The old familiar sting
The fates hold out my thread
But cannot cut the sting
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I love fades away in the end
And thou couldst have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let thee down
I will make thee 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
Thou art someone else
And I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I love fades away in the end
And thou couldst have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let thee down
I will make thee hurt
If I could start again
A thousand leagues away
I would keep my oath
I would find a way
