Hurt

[Originally by Nine Inch Nails]

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 hold
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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



This song just came on my media player, I really appreciate it. So often we forget that our actions always affect others and ourselves. I guess it's our world. People think they can drink, sleep around, do drugs, commit adultery, lie, steal and all other types of things that can ultimately hurt not only ourselves, but those around us. So often we end up being so selfish that we even blind ourselves to how much we are hurting ourselves. Maybe that's not what this song is supposed to mean, but that's what this song means to me.

It really makes me think and reflect on my decisions and how they are affecting those around me and myself. Luckily for us sinful creatures. God is a god of Mercy!!
