A Day In The Life Of A Geezer

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

Warum ich das hier und heute poste? Weil es einer der größten Songs des gesamten Jahrzehnts ist! Ein Song, geschrieben vom Nine Inch Nail Sänger Trent Reznor für Johnny Cash, der es schafft in den letzten Momenten seines Lebens einen so intensiven Song daraus zu machen, dass ich jedes Mal beim anhören eine Gänsehaut bekomme!
