Hurt..

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

Pieces..

Shards, Shatters
Strips, Tatters
Rags, Fags
Withered hags

Bent, Broken
Silent, Spoken
Quite quiet
Storm, Riot

Pentup, Raging
Battle waging
Hazed pages
Phases, Stages

Sacred, Scarred
Woodwork's charred
Standing still
Run of the mill

Roadways, Alleys
Gorges, Valleys
Splatters, Stains
Cloudburst rains

Pieces, Passes
People, Masses
Faltering glances
Fading chances

The last goodbye..

If I knew it was the last time
I would've held you longer
If I knew it was the last time
I would've watched till you were out of sight
If I knew it was the last time
I would have said so much more than i did
If I knew it was the last time
I would have made time stand still
If I knew it was the last time
I would have held on to that last 'I love you'
If I knew it was the last time
I'd have never let you go

I walk the line...

I hadn't listened to Johnny Cash in a while.. Fixed my tape deck yesterday and have been listening to him ever since.. Here's a song thats always meant something to me.. and always will.. because sometimes you need someone to fix yourself for..

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
