My newest obsession...

...is is Hurt by Johnny Cash. And soon to be the man himself.



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
[Chorus:]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 can not repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
[Chorus:]What have I become
My ssweetest 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

I honestly think that one day Mr. Bush will fit into this song. I have an overwhelming sense of Bush's humanity, more so than I should. He will feel remorese some day. And on that day I will show him compassion.

I love that song. I've almost cried at work before when it came on shuffle.
