For my next performance I will be singing a Johnny Cash song (Boromir stole!
). It is called Hurt and is being sung by Denethor to Faramir, but about Boromir. Trust me, it'll all make sense . . . I hope.
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel.
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real.
The sword blade tears a hole,
the old familiar sting.
Try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
What have I become,
my second son?
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.
What have I become,
my second son?
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.
