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.

Me, I'm a part of your circle of friends, and we notice you don't come around.
Me, I think it all depends on you touching ground with us but I quit, I give up, nothing's good enough for anybody else, it seems. And being alone is the best way to be; when I'm by myself, nobody else can say goodbye. Everything is temporary anyway.
