HURT BY JOHNNY CASH

by

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 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…

  1. Why did
    You shoot
    that arrow
    of pain
    The hurt
    your intention
    went straight
    to my heart
    I want to
    tell you
    to stay
    away
    But you
    are my
    twin flame
    Time heals
    all wounds
    and in time
    our love will
    heal too
    You see
    I have
    what we
    need
    It’s called
    FAITH

    JUST BREATHE

  2. Your deep dark knows my pain
    when you lose your mind
    will you remember me
    before I go insane?

    We wear our wild eyes
    like fire diamonds aglow
    weeping for love
    holding on to sanity.

    Beyond these words we pray
    making love to stay here
    can you find me still lost
    before you dance away?

  3. In so foolish a fault
    it came the hurt
    with vibrancy of emotions
    ceremoniously drowning me
    with ripples of blame
    expiated feelings
    arouse a crave
    missing your haze
    beckoning sunrise
    to kiss your mind
    loving you in
    blushing euphoria.
