My empire of dirt

[thehex]

Getting my classes squared away. I lucked out in that I only had to buy one book, a couple of my classes were reusing a book I already had. I've got an 8:45 class on MW, which is going to suck for me, but as of 3/12 or so I'll be laid off. I really hope I can find a job that isn't going to require me to work nights. It's hard to find something that's flexible and pays decent. I may be able to finally work full time as a Computer Tech (got a job offer of sorts), making way more than I do now, so I won't need as many hours.

I'm psyched for the NIN show Ellen is taking me to.

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 my crown of s**t
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

The original is still the best, sorry Johnny.
