What have I become?
I focus on my pain
It's the only thing that's real
I hold on to it like it's my only friend.
My lies have become my truth
I cut myself to see the color of something true.
What have I become?

I'd give it all away
You can have my kingdom of hurt
You are someone new
But I am still there.

What have I become?
I will let you down just as I have always done.
I tried to start over thousands of miles away
It's no different than it was before.
I can't seem to shake myself
I follow wherever I go.
What have I become?

I'd give it all away
You can have my kingdom of hurt.
You are someone new
But I am still there.

What have I become?
Full of broken thoughts
Desires that will never be real.
Everything is fragile
I dare not let you in.
Sooner or later I'll have to cut myself down
What have I become?

I'd give it all away
You can have my kingdom of hurt.
You are someone new
But I am still there.
