This is a perfect song for a manic Monday. I’ve always liked it. And today, I’ve had it on repeat.

It’s kinda going to lead into a post on writing soundtracks etc., whenever I get around to it–but for now, this is what you get.

The lyrics resonate.

Nine Inch Nails — 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 this crown of shit
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

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
