Here's one I haven't heard in a while

You know, I used to really love this song back in high school. At the time I assumed Mr. Reznor was speaking metaphorically. It's amazing how much loving those who need SI will change one's perspective on life. I've moved this song in my mental catalogue from the 'Angst' section to the 'Healing' section.

Hurt
Nine Inch Nails

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 familliar 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

You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of shit
On my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair

Beneath the stain of time
The feeling disappears
You are someone else
I am still right here

What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

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
