A cover is just a cover

I don't feel like typing, so I'll do the live journal cliché every fucker does and put a song in. but let me say that you might THINK this is a fucking Johnny Cash song, but its a cover of Nine Inch Nails goddam it... I love Johnny Cash and thought he did a good cover, but NIN's is still better cause it was the original.

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 shit,
upon my liar's chair.
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair...
beneath the stains 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.
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.
-Nine Inch Nails

A great song, sadly now extremely popular thanks to radio... fuck the fucking radio. So there you have it, a song in my live journal, shoot me, please.
