Nikos Deja Vu - Hurt by Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash - I Hurt Myself 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..
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 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..
