Johnny Cash & Joaquin Phoenix

Ok, I'm not the first to have done this but whatever,.. Read these 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


The good thing (or maybe the bad thing) about us art-sies is that when we get passionate, fire bursts forth from our souls.
Fire, as we all know, is good when you wanna be warm and bad when you need to live in that house you've just burnt down..

Yeah, anyway...go to JohnnyCash.com if you wanna listen to the music I'm listening to right now.

Go see "Walk The Line"
The film has certainly inspired me to listen to more Johnny Cash.
Thanks for the great performance Joaquin! (Reese you were pretty good too!)
