Hurt- Nine Inch Nails

"You could have it all, my empire of dirt"

I had to hurt someone today.  And in the process, I also hurt myself.  I feel absolutely horrible.

This song is amazing.  I love both the NIN version and the Johnny Cash version.  Both so impacting.  The guitar riff clashes so well.  Really sums up how I feel today.

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
