about

"It's not originally by Johnny Cash." I think you're legally required to read that in a cliche whiny Gen X voice.

As someone younger than those forerunner fanz (90s = z instead of s) of a variety of music which actually had a label and wasn't ignored by everyone, from fans, to management, to your own loved ones in this late stage capitalist era...I don't really care? I love NIN and Cash, cuz I'm a walking cliché, so I made a cleaner live version of the song.

Sung with post-oxygen tube down throat in surgery syndrome.

lyrics

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 liars 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 will find a way
