7on3rd – Hurt – Johnny Cash cover (Video)
Artist: 7on3rd ft. Gibran (on vocals)
Song: Hurt (Johnny Cash cover)
This is one of 7on3rd’s favourite songs. The amazing Johnny Cash covered this Nine Inch Nails song and did such an unbelievable job on it with his low, dark voice that even Trent Reznor himself stated that this was no longer his song, it now belonged to Mr. Cash.
7on3rd put a little bit of their own spin on it and took some liberties such as adding piano, synths, some high backing vocals, etc.

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
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
