Hurt By Johnny Cash

This is one of my all time favourites songs. This brilliant re-interpretation of Nine Inch Nails song fits perfectly with Johnny Cash life. The video for this song is absolutely marvellous...There's much that can be said about this song, but unfortunately I don't have the skills enough to express myself in the proper way.
So listen to it and enjoy.

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
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear my crown of shit
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
