XERO SAMPLER TAPE (1997)
1. Rhinestone
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stop and just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stop and just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
From the thread to the needle, middle to end
When skies C-ock back and shock that which couldn't
defend
The rain then sends dripping acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust
and rotten dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours itself upon a world of pretend
Then the eyes ease open and its dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stop and just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stop and just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
Moving all around
Screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
And as wheels go round the sunset creeps past the
Street lamps, cars, chain-links, and concrete
A window then grows and captures the eye
And crys out yellow light as it passes it by
A small black figure sits in front of a box
Inside a box a rock with the needles on top
Nothing stops in this land of the chain
When brains lose not knowing they were part of the
game
And the insides go but the box stays the same
In shame, shovel up the pieces to the pain
You could try to hide yourself in the world of pretend
When the paper's crumbled up it can't be perfect again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stop and just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stop and just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
Yeah I got you got in the act
You better step back
Telling me that
I'm seein right through you
Yeah I got you got in the act
You better step back
Telling me that
I'm seein right through you
Yeah I got you got in the act
You better step back
Telling me that
I'm seein right through you
Yeah I got you got in the act
You better step back
Telling me that
I'm seein right through you
Yeah I got you got in the act
You better step back
Telling me that
I'm seein right through you
Yeah I got you got in the act
You better step back
Telling me that

But the lies have piled up
2. Reading my eyes
The Microphone Molesta'
The chevy undresser
Stupid dope fresh tight shit resurrector
Top gun man mod best of the besta'
The living MC peace and resta'
Still tested the flexed gunna'
The make funna the appisary make runna'
Make summa cold with rhymes that spit
Get gifted, lifted, deliquent 'wit
I be the prophet, in my hand
Top it, stop it, felt like rockin when I rock it
Locked it down with this perverse verse
Every fuckin' curse I burst to hurt
Room crowds physical fitness rhymes
Coke heads couldn't do my lines
Decorated like christmas pines with Italian rocks
MCs become silohetes in shock
Reading my eyes will say it in many ways
Losing my pride will save it in many days
Hit the dirt
Because the words I spit will do more than just rip your
shirt
I'll bitch slap your soul
Track the track control
You coming at me?
You can't hack it though
So rediculous
Watching my crew get sick of this
Wickedness
Pitchin this
Lyrical brichisness
To crews and cliques
Maiden, men, and mistresses
This is my life
The twilight, the fight night
And trying to see nothing but the highlights
When I write
These eyes on horizons
Top of Mike, start cries on to Krylon
Fire on, rude men telekenetically
As aterically beats become a clarity
Feel averity's heroism, and heracy
And severe every MC I see with Neverity
Reading my eyes will say it in many ways
Losing my pride will save it in many days
Why not
What a keep
Why not
What a keep
Why not
What a keep
Why not give me what I came to deserve
Why not give me what I came to believe
Why not give me what I came to deserve
Why not give me what I came to believe
Reading my eyes will say it in many ways
Losing my pride will save it in many days
3. Fuse
Of course you know what a fuse is...
It's a long piece of cord impregnated with gun powder
When you strike a match and light it
It burns, fitfully, spiralling to its end
At which there is, a little surprise
From the planet of Krypton, short suit MCs you'll be
ripped on
You fell off and it's my lyric sheet you slipped on
Get gone, spit on mic's made in Hong Kong
Rock on, sing songs mightier than King King
or Donkey (Kong), you think you want me or want this?
You want some? hold your reputation for Ransom
With these here, handsomely crafted tactics
To break a snake and see like a cheap prophylactic
Galactic, space now yeah that grabs attention
Crack heads nodded like a pest can't even mention
Right a pat traps gas tracks in sections
Kid says this? he'll need witness protection!
Try to see what I
Can’t be seeing
I'll be here
Try to see what I
Can’t be seeing
I'll be here
Yo dig this, (dig this),yo it's the junkyard crooked letter
C-I-entific
Duck us, the ruckus I'll bring stings your eardrum
Hear one, lalala loose frind me fearsome
Opposing troops on my home front shall be gone
Testing the eight-hundred, eighteenth battalion
Shallow the one who's run like rebels
Enola gay rhymes kicked the notch up a level
In intensity, send back the tax that you sent to me
Blow up your spot with grenades that were meant for
me
MP3 versus R33 MCs, swiss change your gear putting
shrapnel in the breeze
We're MCs with enemy companies with my hand full of
lyrics talking 'bout you want these?
Please! Don’t even speak the name of channels and low
gadget mic shit put it down like pens
Linkin Park Lyrics
Xero Sampler Tape

For my friends and my fam let them dodge it around
this mic shot through the back of an MCs hand
With the strength that he had a bridge you don't want
that close body fields in hand to hand combat
Battle cats, it's like the sectional speech warfare words
flashing at cord icy
Can be affording whenever the shots get lit, don't
question my intention when your butt gets kicked
Try to see what I
Cant be seeing
I'll be here
Tech broke italic syllabalic attacks
Try to see what I
Cant be seeing
I'll be here
You want these MCs with lyrical back smacks!
(Whispered) Go ahead! suit yourself!
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Try to see what I
Can’t be seeing
I'll be here
Tech broke italic syllabalic attacks
Try to see what I
Can’t be seeing
I'll be here
You want these MCs with lyrical back smacks!
4. Stick n’ move
This is how it's done going for the title and crown
Renowned MC's surround as the beat breaks down
In 2 elements clobbin' up those took the best of us,
The M-I see the way it ought to be finessed
and yes, yes am I the one to keep you on your toes?
(most) Definitely in my b-boy pose, the-a electric
pulling you in with a slight twist,
Touch your chin to your chest to the rhythm like this
And I see what I have, I want you
To be with me or Stick n' Move
Now I see what I had, and I want you
To be with me or Stick n' Move
MC's dogging me since the first day I grabbed the mic
Now it's like Sit! Stay!
Cobra path lifestyles I’m kickin'
Stickin' MC's real quick 'cause times tickin'
At the drop of the defense, I let loose the venom
Sendin', a tribal verbal heat up in em'
The ending will come, if you dont grab your family and
run
Apocalyptic rhyme pattern taking shots at the sun
Record industry rule, four-thousand-eighty -one
Question my intentions and your whole world is done
Like wars to Rome, turn your eyeballs into Saturn
Full metal jacket fully auto rhyme pattern
And I see what I have, I want you
To be with me or Stick n' Move
Now I see what I had, and I want you
To be with me or Stick n' Move
Stick it, rock your whole clique and I'm wicked,
Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it
Stick it, rock your whole clique and I'm wicked,
Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it
Stick it, rock your whole clique and I'm wicked,
Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it
Stick it, rock your whole clique and I'm wicked,
Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it
And I see what I have, I want you
To be with me or Stick n' Move
Now I see what I had, and I want you
To be with me or Stick n' Move

HYBRID THEORY DEMO CD (1999)
1. Esául (A place for my head)
Riding with the head full of bodies of red
And when this X is still stuck in my head
But mis-led thinking the things I do
Would make you never wanna come back
But an on-front attack
So you could never run from that
Being trapped in this but you
Some that I never wanted to do
But through it all you've got to see
That where I want to be
Is over the pen again
Letting it out of me
In the center of the day
In a dream
Seeing all my thoughts
Getting lost in between
Realizing one
Not the way that it seems
And the killing and the killer with a head full of screams
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(Start seeing its not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
We're gonna be crushed
When it all falls apart
Knowing no matter how low
Hoping that you won't know
The strain it puts to me, seeing what you've done
And consequently I've run away, just hidden again
Within the boundaries of an anguish
Don't Want me to say this
But you're dragging me down
Lost in the chaos
Being tossed around
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(Start seeing it's not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
You
try to take the best of me
Go away
[x8]
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
Start seeing it's not meant to be for me
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Shut...up...why
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine
2. Super Xero (By myself)
What do I do to ignore what's behind me?
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams?
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I let it go and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust none and live in loneliness?
Because sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find
I can't rely on myself
(myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find
I can't rely on myself
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I
Turn my back I'm defenseless
And to give in to fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll
Take from me till everything is gone

Linkin Park Lyrics

If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find
I can't rely on myself
(myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find
I can't rely on myself
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
How do you think I've lost so much
I'm so afraid I'm now out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to
Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside
[x2]
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
[x2]

HYBRID THEORY EP (1999)
1. Carousel
She can't hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguised behind the lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight staring at her inside
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family asking is she alright
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well all she's got to do is stop kidding herself
She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long
I'm too weak to face me
(She can only fool herself)
I never know just why you run so far away
far away from me
I never know just why you run so far away
far away from me
When it comes to how to live his life he can't be told
Says he got everything under control
Thinks he knows he's not a problem he's stuck with
But in reality it would be a problem to just quit
An addict and he can't hold the reigns
The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the problem he's got
But can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
I'm too weak to face me
(He can only fool himself)
I never know just why you run
so far away far away from me
I never know just why you run
so far away far away from me
[Background stuff]
I never know just why you run so far away
far away from me
I never know just why you run so far away
far away from me
I never know just why you run so far away
far away from me
I never know just why you run so far away
far away from me
2. Technique (Short)
You must exercise the proper technique.
3. Step up
Yeah
Watch as the room rocks
Mentally moonwalk
Mixed media slang
Banging in your boom box verbal violence
Lyrical stylist
In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You can’t tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to a beat doesn’t make you an emcee
With your lack of skill and facility
You’re killing me
And a DJ in the group just for credibility
I heard that some of you are getting help with your
rhymes
You’re not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
And rapping over rock doesn’t make you a pioneer
Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
But now they’re getting randomly mixed and matched
up
All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
So how does it stack up? None of it’s real
You want to be an emcee you’ve got to study the skill
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
But mentally you don’t have the hip hop energy
With a tendency to make up stories
Sounding like the only hip hop you’ve heard is top 40
And your record company is completely missing it
All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate
So in a battle you can't hack it
React with whack ***
And get smacked with verbal back flips
Get your *** kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
It's taken decades for emcees to establish this
You’re new to hip hop and welcome if your serious
But not on the mic
Leave that to the experienced
(Using the waves of sound the true master paralyzes
his opponents, leaving him
vulnerable to attack)
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?

Step, step up, step, step up
(After years of pain staking research by the world's
leading sound scientists, we here at the sound institute
have invented a reliable audio weapons system. Actual
movement of musical sound in space used to carefully
attack and neutralize the cellular structure of the
human body, and the question must be asked.)
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Bring it to you every time like this?
Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
4. And one
Where should I start
Disjointed heart
I’ve got no commitment
To my own flesh and blood
Left all alone
Far from my home
No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart, I
Keep it locked up inside
Cannot express
To the point I’ve regressed
If anger’s a gift, then I guess I’ve been blessed, I
Keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies
It's too late to love me ma
You helped me to show me
It's to late to love me ma
You don't even know me
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
[slows to rap solo]
Spit drips from the jaw of the witless witness
Cryptic colloquialism shifts your midriff
Dark all I do embark the shadows
Involved with my thought catalogue, analogue, rap
catalogue
Keep my distance, and fear resistance, hurt by
persistence
The twisted web of tangled lies
Strangles my hope to waste and numbs the taste
And I'm forced to face these hate crimes
Against the state of being
Feeling the weight-less-ness pressed between the
ceiling
Reeling around room
Riding a bubble of sound proof
It's the frequency making you
Sha-Shake with every boom
Involuntary muscle contraction
Ignoring and drinking musical gas field euphoria
The sound pounds to make the dead flush
To have you a head rush with red thoughts and said
stuff
5. High voltage
Just do something to tell you who I am, ya know?
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
I've been taking into crates ever since I was livin in
space
Before the retrace, before monkeys had human traits
Mastered numerology and big bang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
And chincheckin kids to make my point like an
impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords to double helixes and show them
what I'm made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of the
emcees that hate us
So try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity let icons be bygones
I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this
I've tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp **** with or without an accomplish
(Mixed media)
The stamp of approval is on this
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Linkin Park Lyrics

Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
Akira, put a kink in the backbones of clones with
microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin bright day over what you might say
Blood type krylon
Technicolor type A
On highways ripe with road rage I'm patient to win
The cage and the tin to bounce all around
In surround sound devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Overall the same things sing songs karaoke copy
madness
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the tracks stand at
attention (Attention)
Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol, official, 16 line rhyme missile
While you risk it all, I pick out of your flaws
Spin, blah blah blah blah
You can say you saw
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
6. Part of me
After this song there is static for awhile and eventually
a secret instrumental part.
Part of me won’t go away
Everyday reminded how much I hate it
Weighted against the consequences
Can’t live without it so it’s senseless
Wanna cut it out of my soul
And just live with a gaping hole
Take control of my life
And wash out all the burnt taste
I made the problems in the first place
Hang my head low ‘cause it’s part of me
Ya hardly see right next to the heart of me
Heard of me the routine scar
New cuts cover where the old ones are
And now I’m sick of this
I can’t stand the sandpaper thoughts that grade away
on my sanity
I rather not even be then the man that’s staring in the
mirror through me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what’s killing me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what’s killing me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what’s killing me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what’s killing me
I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me
It can’t be frightening if you’ve never felt it
Once it’s been dealt with you feel like you’ve been
touched by something angelic
And then melted down into a pool of peace
Cease to be the animal you used to be
Remove the broken parts you know were wrong
And feel the karma when the problem’s all gone
And then you start to see another piece of yourself that
you can’t let be
And that reason’ll last fight to free yourself
Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well
And now you know you can choose to lose the part in
your heart
Where your insides bruise
You can live if you’re willing to
Put a stop to just what’s killing you
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what’s killing me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what’s killing me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what’s killing me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what’s killing me
I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me
(Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams away
silently
This part of me won’t go away, part of me won’t go
away
Everywhere I look around I see how everyone ought to
be
Every time I see myself there’s always something
wrong with me
Everywhere I look around I see how everyone ought to
be
Every time I see myself there’s always something
wrong with me)
I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me
I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside

HYBRID THEORY (2000)
1. Papercut
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here’s not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia’s all I got left
I don’t know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed / but
I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It’s like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it’s time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me / right beneath my
skin
It’s like I’m / paranoid lookin’ over my back
It’s like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know I’ve got a face in me
points out all the mistakes to me
You’ve got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia’s probably worse
I don’t know what set me off first but I know what I
can’t stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can’t add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when they close their eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
So you know that when it’s time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too / right inside
your skin
It’s like I’m / paranoid lookin’ over my back
It’s like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin
It’s like I’m / paranoid lookin’ over my back
It’s like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin
the face inside is right beneath my skin
the face inside is right beneath my skin
the face inside is right beneath my skin
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun
It’s like I’m / paranoid lookin’ over my back
It’s like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I feel the light betray me
The sun
It’s like I’m / paranoid lookin’ over my back
It’s like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within
I feel the light betray me
It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within
2. One step closer
I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Break break break break break
shut up when I'm talking to you
shut up shut up shut up
shut up when I'm talking to you
shut up shut up shut up shut up

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge

3. With you
I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the
floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not
anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back
It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
So even though you're close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back
It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No, no matter how far we've come I
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
4. Points of authority
Forfeit the game / Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face / You can’t run the race
The pace is too fast / You just won't last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me
through
You take away if I give in
My life
My pride is broken
You like to think you’re never wrong
(You live what you’ve learned)
You have to act like you’re someone
(You live what you’ve learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you’ve learned)
You want to share what you’ve been through
(You live what you’ve learned)
You love the things I say I’ll do
The way I’ll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in / my life
My pride is broken
You like to think you’re never wrong
(You live what you’ve learned)
You want to act like you’re someone
(You live what you’ve learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you’ve learned)
You want to share what you’ve been through
(You live what you’ve learned)
Forfeit the game / Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face / You can’t run the race
The pace is too fast / You just won't last
Forfeit the game / Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face / You can’t run the race

5. Crawling
crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real
there's something inside me that pulls beneath the
surface
consuming/confusing
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending
controlling/I can't seem
to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that
there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure
crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real
discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
distracting/reacting
against my will I stand beside my own reflection
it's haunting how I can't seem...
to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that
there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure
crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real
crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing confusing what is real
there's something inside me that pulls beneath the
surface
consuming/confusing what is real
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending
controlling/confusing what is real
6. Runaway
Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away
gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away
gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and open my mind
(gonna run away/mind gonna run away gonna run
away/mind mind gonna run away mind gonna run
away/mind gonna run away gonna run away gonna run
away/mind)
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind

7. By myself
What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride / from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I / sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I / try to catch them red - handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can’t hold on / when I’m stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I’m lost within
I put on my daily façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
by myself [myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself
[myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself
I can’t hold on
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I
Turn my back I’m defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on / then they’ll
Take from me ‘till everything is gone
If I let them go I’ll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I’ll be outrun
If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer
[by myself]
[myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself
[myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself
I can’t hold on
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
How do you think / I’ve lost so much
I’m so afraid / I’m out of touch
How do you expect / I will know what to do
When all I know / Is what you tell me to
Don’t you (know)
I can’t tell you how to make it (go)
No matter what I do, how hard I (try)
I can’t seem to convince myself (why)
I’m stuck on the outside
Don’t you (know)
I can’t tell you how to make it (go)
No matter what I do, how hard I (try)
I can’t seem to convince myself (why)
I’m stuck on the outside
I can’t hold on
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
I can’t hold on
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking...
8. In the end
(It starts with)
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all
fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory /
of a time when I tried
so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it
all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory /
of a time when I
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
9. A place for my head
I watch how the
Moon sits in the sky / in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give / light to the moon assuming
The moon’s going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me / You do
favours and then rapidly / You just
Turn around and start asking me / about
Things you want back from me
I’m sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
(You’ll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday I’ll be just like you / and
Step on people like you do and / Run
Away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm / used to be strong
Used to be generous / but you should’ve known / That
you’d
Wear out your welcome / now you see
How quiet it is / all alone / I’m so
Sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed
While / I find a place to rest / I’m so
Sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed
While / I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
(You’ll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
You
try to take the best of me
Go away
[x8]
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
(You’ll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Shut...up
I’m so sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I’m so sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
10. Forgotten
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I’ve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory won’t escape me
But why should I care
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I’ve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory won’t escape me
But why should I care
There’s a place so dark you can’t see the end
(Skies cock back) and shock that which can’t defend
The rain then sends dripping / an acidic question
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes shut / looking though the rust and
rot
And dust / a spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I’ve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts

Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory won’t escape me
But why should I care
In the memory you’ll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Moving all around / screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go round and the sunset creeps behind
Street lamps, chain-link and concrete
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats
On down the street till the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the paper’s crumpled up it can’t be perfect again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I’ve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory won’t escape me
But why should I care
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I’ve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory won’t escape me
But why should I care
In the memory you’ll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I’m telling you that
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I’m telling you that
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I’m telling you that
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I’m telling you that
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I’m telling you that
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I’m telling you that
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I’m telling you that
I see it right through you
In the memory you’ll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
In the memory, you will find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
11. Cure for the itch
Instrumental song
12. Pushing me away
I’ve lied / to you
The same way that I always do
This is / the last smile
That I’ll fake for the sake of being with you
Everything falls apart / even the people who never
frown / eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end / you’ll soon find we’re out of
time left / to watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
I’ve tried / like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is / the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
Everything falls apart / even the people who never
frown / eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end / you’ll soon find we’re out of
time left / to watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Were all out of time / this is how we learn how it all
unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Were all out of time / this is how we learn how it all
unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing why...

You want someone to hurt like you

Hey yo when this first started off it was just Linkin
Park...
Then in the middle came Motion Man...
And at the end of it all it was Kutmasta Kut wit a remix
[echo]
one thing I don't know why
it doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind I designed this rhyme when I was
obsessed with time
all I know, time was just slipping way
and I watched it count down till the end of the day
watched it watch me and the words that I say
the echo of the clock rhythm in my veins
I know that I didn't look out below
and I watched the time go right out the window
trying to grab hold, trying not to watch
I wasted it all on the hands of the clock
but in the end no matter what I pretend
the journey is more important than the end or the start
and what it meant to me will eventually be
a memory of the time when I tried so hard
I tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
to lose it all

but in the end
it doesn’t even matter
yo one thing, one thing I don't know why
it doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain the
due time
all I know, time to so-socialize like the host of the party
all for shake and made eye contact
party control showing all that
northeast, southwest coast
stand out the window, no opportunity to mingle
I tried to show her, if you could just sense a middle
disorder
I brought you back of the thing
like the imaginary man of your dreams
well, you would always seem to make it worth it
a sleek skin I never nerved you
you felt lovin, I never applied a room
without bringing the plan
by any means and means of leaving you teens,
of all those teenage scenes, I tried so hard
I tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
to lose it all
but in the end
it doesn’t even matter
Linkin park, remix, Mo Mo Mo Motion Man
Linkin park, in the end, Kutmasta Kutmasta Kut
Kutmasta Kurt
Linkin park, remix, Mo Mo Motion Man
Linkin park, in the end, Kutmasta Kurt
one thing I don't know how
it doesn't even matter when you look at it now
because when I designed this rhyme I was scared of it
all
scared to fall, I hadn't even tried to crawl
and I was forced to run, with you mocking me
stopping me, back stabbing me constantly
remembering all those times you fought with me
watch the clock now chop full of hypocrisy
and now your mouth wishes it could inhale
every single little thing you said and make it expel
every single word you sputter just to get your piece,
but it really doesn't matter to me
because from the start to the end no matter what I
pretend
the journey is more important than the end or the start
and what it meant to me will eventually be
a memory of the time when I tried so hard
I tried so hard
and got so far
but in the end
it doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
to lose it all
but in the end
it doesn’t even matter..

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
[Mike]
We're stuck in a place so dark, you could hardly see
A manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight of the powers that be
Duck away into the darkness, times up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
So tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and it's dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
[Chali 2na]
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
[Mike]
Listen to the sound, dizzy from the ups and downs
And nauseated by the polluted rock that's all around
Watchin the wheels of cars that pass
I look past to the last of the light and the long shadows
it casts
A window grows and captures the eye
And cries out yellow light as it passes me by
And a young, shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside a building of rocks with antennas on top
Now, nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The same lose, not knowing they were part of the game
And while the insides change, the box stays the same
And the figure inside could bear anybody's name
The memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I could come back to them
Someday I’m hopin to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumpled up paper can be perfect again

[Chali 2na]
I'm here at this podium talking, the ceremonial
offerings
Dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring
What's happening
City governments are eternally napping
Trapped in greedy covenants, causin urban collapsing
Bullets that scar souls, with dark holds, get more than
your car stole
Some hearts be blacker than charcoal
For real, this society's deprivation depends not on our
differences, but the separation within
No preparation is made, limited aid, minimum wage
Livin in a tenement cage where rent isn't paid
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspread like permanent plague
I'm the forgotten
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

There's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes
Staring back at me

The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

Like you
To do everything you wanted to
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

[Stephen]
Reverse psychology's failing miserably
It's so hard to be, left all alone
Telling you is the only chance for me
There's nothing left but, to turn and face you
When I look into your eyes, there's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me
Asking why...
[Chester]
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie (why)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night,
shining with the light from the sun
the sun doesn’t give light to the moon
assuming the moons gonna owe it one
and makes think of how you act to me
you do favors that rapidly
you just turn around and start asking me about things
you want back from me
I’m sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
sick of you acting like I owe you this
find another place to feed your greed
while I find a place to rest
I’m sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
sick of you acting like I owe you this
find another place to feed your greed
while I find a place to rest.

I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
I wanna be in the energy, right with the enemy

With an if through the duck, but its hard to dodge
In the back of that spine where my dogs' lie
Gonna flip it straight up rippin apart ya squad

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes....
Hybrid
I've been diggin in crates ever since I was livin in space
Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology, big band theology, performed
lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic to so I can start blessin it
Chin-checkin' kids to make my point like an
impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic chords like double helixes to show them
what I'm made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
cast a spell of instrumentalist on all of you MC's who
hate us
So you can try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry
on
From now to infinite, let icon be bygones
I fire bombs, ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats, but moved on to a promise
I stomp **** with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin you up and takin you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
Akira, I've put a kink in the backbones, of clones, with
microphones
Never satisfied my rhymes Jones
Spraying bright day over what you might say
My blood types krylon, Technicolor type A
On highways write with road rage
Cages a win, cages a tin, that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scenes
Subliminal gangrene paintings, over all the same things
Sing songs karaoke copy bull****
Break bones verbally with sticks and stones tactics
Forth dimension, compact convention
Write rhymes with ease while the track stands at
attention
Meant to put you away, with the pencil
Pistol, official, sixteen line, a rhyme missile
While you risk your all
I pick out at your flaws
Singing rah blah, blah, blah you can say you saw
High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin you up and takin you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side

Who's the man, the man in your hand over your land
Roving over man's bolding when he's jammin your

I am vics clorousos, the most ferocious
When I spy my third eye, it's extremely high voltage
That's why I need ruby quartz glasses, cause when I
glance at the chest
Then I might blast the masses
Subliminals transmitted through piano
Integrated in flow, calculated in nano
My IU skills are when I mean plea sees the rhyme
I hear when I bleed when I proceed through time
I walk through the walls and the inanimate obstacles
While educed to the reduction of cells and molecules
I bring the knowledge the you swallow like the state of

I bot your head, fat your lip like collagen
A telepath of the another verse with no postage

Just touching base seeing how your Easter went

(featuring Chairman Hahn, Aceyalone)
Come on!
I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static
And put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not
anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back
It's true, the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
Ughhhh!
I hit you and you hit me back
And we fall to the floor
The rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
But when things go wrong, I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back
It's true, the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
Ughhhh!

I wont let you control my fate While I'm holding the
weight of the world on my conscience
(No)
I wont just sit here and wait while you weighin your
options
Your makin a fool of me

You didn't dare to try and say you don't care
And solemnly swear not to follow me there

Why does it feel like night today
Something in here’s not right today
Why I am so uptight today
Paranoia’s all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like to
have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
Face that watches everytime I lie
Face that laughs everytime I fall
and watches everything
So I know that when its time to sink or swim
The face inside is hearing me right beneath my skin
[CHORUS]
Its like I’m paranoid looking over my back
Its like a whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I can't stop what I’m hearing within
Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin
hey yo, here we go again with the pain I feel isn't real
but in my mind
But I find myself in places with names, but not faces
My memory races at speeds hundred degrees
My soul (it bleeds?) devil must’ve planted the seed
Now it feels like my backs against the wall, I'm taking
the fall
Whenever I call nobody's responding at all
But I don't who I could trust they screaming my name
I need somebody to help me out of the flame
all I’m tryin to do is just master me all I want to do is
smoke a blaster beat
but something keeps talking to me consciously
responsibly it keeps haunting me
From dusk till dawn
Everything has something for ya
That voice inside of your head got to projected,
Paranoia
cold sweat.
Shining on your face exposing your purpose and if I
ripped off your skin I’d probably find another verse
Its nothin worse than trying to bring yourself up back
from the dead
so I advise you listen to that voice in the back of your
head
[CHORUS]
the face inside is right beneath your skin [4x]
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me [3x]
[CHORUS 2x]

What do I do to ignore them behind me
Do I follow my instincts blindly
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening
Do I sit here and try to stand it
Or do I try to catch them red-handed
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within

I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (myself)
I ask why
But in my mind I find
I can't rely on myself (myself)
I ask why
But in my mind I find
I cant rely on myself
I cant look around
(Its too much to take in)
I cant hold on
(When I’m stretched so thin)
I cant slow down
(Watching everything spin)
I cant look past
(Its starting over again)
If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
By myself (myself)
I ask why
But in my mind I find
I can't rely on myself (myself)
I ask why
But in my mind I find
I cant rely on myself
I cant look around

I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
But you'll find that out anyway
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts, they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
I'm about to break!
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe

And I'm about to
Break! [echo]
These are the places where I can feel
Torn from my body, my flesh it peels
During this ride, we can cut up what we like
Waiting alone, I cannot resist
Feeling this hate I have never missed
Please someone give me a reason to rip off my face
Blood is a pouring
Blood is pouring [x10]
Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up!
Blood is pouring! [x3]
Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up!
Blood is pouring! [x3]
Shut up!
I'm about to break!
Everything you say to me
I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
I'm about to break!
Everything you say to me
I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
And I'm about to-
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
and I'm about to break!
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
and I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to

(featuring Mike Shinoda, Aaron Lewis of STAIND)
Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence, confidence, confidence...
Consuming, confusing
Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence and I’m convinced that
there’s just too much pressure to take
There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the
surface
I'm crawling in my skin
(Crawling in my skin)
These wounds they will not heal
(These wounds they will not heal)
Fear is how I fall
(Fear is how I fall)
Confusing, confusing what is real
Confusing what is real...
There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the
surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling, I cant seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence, and I’m convinced that
there’s just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure...
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Discomfort endlessly as pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
Its haunting how I cant seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence, and I'm convinced that
there’s just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure...
Without a sense of confidence, confidence...
Without a sense of confidence, confidence...
Without a sense of confidence, and I’m convinced that
there’s just too much pressure to take
Without a sense of confidence, confidence...
Without a sense of confidence, confidence...
Without a sense of confidence, and I’m convinced that
there’s just too much pressure to take
To find myself again, my walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence, and I’m convinced that
there’s just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure...
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real

2. With you (live)
Are you ready?
Shut up
Yo
I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the
floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not
anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back
It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
So even though you're close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back
It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
Ladies and gentleman Mr. Hahn
No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No, no matter how far we've come I
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
3. Points of authority (Crystal method

Forfeit the game / Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face / You can't run the race
The pace is too fast / You just can't last
[x2]
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me
through
You take away if I give in
My life
My pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you learn)
You want to act like you're someone
(You live what you learn)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you learn)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you learn)
You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life
My pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you learn)
You want to act like you're someone
(You live what you learn)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you learn)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you learn)

4. Dedicated (demo 1999)
I have a dream
Of a scene between the green hills
Clouds pull away and the sunlight's revealed
People don't talk about keeping it real
It's understood that they actually will
And intoxicated and stimulated emcees
Staring in the trees
Paranoid
Are gone in the breeze
Watch them flee
Hip hop heads
Take a walk with me
And what you'll see is a land
Where the sand's made of crushed up wax
And the sky beyond you is krylon blue
And everybody speaks in a dialect of rhyme
Emcees have left materialism behind them
Meanwhile I just grip my mic
And hope me and my team make it through alright
Because say what you will
And say what you might
But don't ignore who it's for
At the end of the night
Because this is dedicated to the kids
Dedicated to wherever music lives
Dedicated to those tired of the same old same
And dedicated to the people advancing the game
What's real is the kids who know that something's
wrong
What's real is the kids who think they don't belong
What's real is the kids who have nowhere to run
Who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun
I've seen a lot of shit
I've talked to a bum out on sunset strip
He asked me how would you feel
If everybody acted like you didn't exist
You'd lose your grip
Probably eventually flip
So let it be known
The only reason that we do this
Is so you can pick it up
And just bang your head to it
While emcees fight to see who could be the commonest
We float overhead like a space odyssey monolith
Overseeing the game
Over being part of the same
Old thing it's all gonna change
In a hurricane of darkness and pain
In acidic rain and promises you won't do it again
Meanwhile I just grip my mic
And hope me and my team make it through alright
Because say what you will
And say what you might
But don't ignore who it's for
At the end of the night
Because this is dedicated to the kids
Dedicated to wherever music lives
Dedicated to those tired of the same old same
And dedicated to the people advancing the game
What's real is the kids who know that something's
wrong
What's real is the kids who think they don't belong
What's real is the kids who have nowhere to run
Who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun
Pulling me close the shadow is warm inside
This is where I feel at home this is my place to hide
Pulling me close the shadow is warm inside
This is where I feel at home this is my place to hide
This is dedicated to the kids
Dedicated to wherever music lives
Dedicated to those tired of the same old same
And dedicated to the people advancing the game
What's real is the kids who know that something's
wrong
What's real is the kids who think they don't belong
What's real is the kids who have nowhere to run
Who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun
This is dedicated to the kids
Dedicated to wherever music lives
Dedicated to those tired of the same old same
And dedicated to the people advancing the game
What's real everybody who doesn't feel safe
What's real everybody who knows they're out of place
What's real everybody with nowhere to run
Who will hide from the shadows waiting for the sun?

This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you
Feel like that
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all the
Things I said to you
And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
This is my December
These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all I need
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all the things
I said to you
And I give it all away
Just to have
Somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to

1. Foreword
Instrumental song
2. Don't stay
Sometimes I, need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I, need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know
Somehow I need you to go
Don’t stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don’t stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Don’t stay
Sometimes I, feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I, just feel like screaming at myself
Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know
Somehow I need to be alone
Don’t stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don’t stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Don’t stay
I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignored
I don’t need one more day of you wasting me away
I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignored
I don’t need one more day of you wasting me away
With no apologies
Don’t stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don’t stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Don’t stay
Don’t stay
Don’t stay
3. Somewhere I belong
When this began
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And I'd let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
When all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
Nothing to loose
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own and the fault is my own
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long
Erase all the pain till its gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
Like I’m close to something real
I want to find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
I was confused
Looking everywhere only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
So what am I
What do I have but negativity
Cause I cant justify the way everyone is looking at me
Nothing to loose
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own and the fault is my own
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long
Erase all the pain till its gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
Like I’m close to something real
I want to find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I will never know
Myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel
Anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything
Meteora
Linkin Park Lyrics

till I break away from me
I will break away
I'll find myself today
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long
Erase all the pain till it's gone
I wanna heal
I wanna feel
Like I’m close to something real
I want to find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I wanna heal
I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
I wanna heal
I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong
4. Lying from you
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can’t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can
but
I can’t pretend this is the way it’ll stay I’m just
(Lying to bend the truth)
I can’t pretend I’m who you want me to be, so I’m
(Lying my way from you)
No no turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you is me)
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk for who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fittin’ in
And now you think this person really is me and I’m
(Trying to bend the truth)
Cuz the more I push the more I’m pulling away cuz I’m
(Lying my way from you)
No no turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you is ME)
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that
what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that
what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that
what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that
what I said would
have you running from me
Like This
(You)
No turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone)
No turning back now
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you is me)
5. Hit the floor
There are just too many times that people have tried to
look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of
courtesy
Too many times that I’ve held on what I needed to
push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind afraid to say what I
need to say
Too many things that you said about me when I’m not
around
You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep
putting me down
But I’ve had too many standoffs with you it’s about as
much as I can stand
So I’m waiting until the upper hand is mine
(One minute you're on top)
Next you're not watch you drop
(Making your heart stop)
Just before you hit the floor
(One minute you're on top)
Next you're not missed a shot
(Making you're heart stop)
You think you've won
(And then it's all gone)
So many people like me put so much trust in all your
lies
So concerned with what you think to just say what we
feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All I know is that all I want is to feel like I’m not
stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel
you crossed the line
What goes up will surely fall and I’m counting down the
time
Cause I’ve had so many standoffs with you it’s about as
much as I can stand
So I’m waiting until the upper hand is mine
Linkin Park Lyrics

(One minute you're on top)
Next you're not watch you drop
(Making your heart stop)
Just before you hit the floor
(One minute you're on top)
Next you're not missed a shot
(Making you're heart stop)
You think you've won
(And then it's all gone)
(And then he’s all gone)
(And then it's all gone)
(And then he’s all gone)
(Now it’s all gone)
I know I’ll never trust a single thing you say
You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
But what goes up has got to fall
(One minute you're on top)
Next you're not watch you drop
(Making your heart stop)
Just before you hit the floor
(One minute you're on top)
Next you're not missed a shot
(Making you're heart stop)
You think you've won
(And then it's all gone)
(And then he’s all gone)
(And then it's all gone)
(And then he’s all gone)
(Now it’s all gone)
6. Easier to run
It’s easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I’ve kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years
they’ve played
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
It’s easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn’t have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so there’d never be a path
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
Just watching in the sun
All of my helplessness inside
Pretending I don’t feel misplaced
It’s so much simpler to change
It’s easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
It’s easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made)
It’s easier to go
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
(I would take all my shame to the grave)
7. Faint
I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can’t help the fact that
everybody can see these scars
I am what I want you to want what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you,
to just believe this is real
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you
always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause you want what I've got
(I can't feel the way I did before)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(Time won't heal this damage anymore)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
I am a little bit insecure a little unconfident
Cause you don't understand I do what I can but
sometimes I don't make sense
I say what you never wanna say but I've never had a
doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for
once just to hear me out
So I let go watching you turn your back like you always
do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you’re all that I've got
(I can't feel the way I did before)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(Time won't heal this damage anymore)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(Now)
(Hear me out now)

(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(I can't feel the way I did before)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
(Time won't heal this damage anymore)
(Don't turn your back on me)
(I won't be ignored)
I can't feel
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
8. Figure.09
Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain
attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin'
It's like nothing I can do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
Cuz from the infinite words I can say I
Put all pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize instead of setting it free I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(And now)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be my fear)
(I can't separate)
(Myself from what I've done)
(Giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)
Hearing your name the memories come back again
I remember when it started happening
I see you n’ every thought I had and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away
I was committing myself to em n’ everyday
I regret saying those things cuz now I see that I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(And now)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be my fear)
(I can't separate)
(Myself from what I've done)
(Giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(Never goes away)
(Get away from me)
Give me my space back you gotta just
(Go)
Everything comes down the memories of
(You)
I kept it in without letting you
(Know)
I let you go so get away from
(Me)
Give me my space back you gotta just
(Go)
Everything comes down the memories of
(You)
I kept it in without letting you
(Know)
I let you go
(And then)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be my fear)
(I can't separate)
(Myself from what I've done)
(Giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)
(I've let myself become you)
(I've let myself become)
(lost inside these thoughts of you)
(giving up a part of me)
(I've let myself become you)
9. Breaking the habit
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safer in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking a habit
I'm breaking a habit tonight
Cultured my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Linkin Park Lyrics

Than anytime before
I have no options left again
I don’t want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking a habit
I'm breaking a habit tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
Cuz I'm the one that falls
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking a habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking a habit tonight
10. From the inside
I don’t know who to trust
your surprise
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Happy thoughts sift through dust
and the lies
(Trying not to break but I’m so tired of this deceit)
(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my
feet)
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so
much out of me)
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with
you
Tension is building inside steadily
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Happy thoughts forcing their way
out of me
(Trying not to break but I’m so tired of this deceit)
(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my
feet)
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so
much out of me)
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with
you
I won’t waste myself on you
You
You
Waste myself on you
You
You
I’ll take everything from the inside and throw it all
away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with
you
Everything from the inside and just throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with
you
You
You
11. Nobody's listening
Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
Rap stack got you back in the sub black
Rewind that we just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylist division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiving
But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk
this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta
get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt it goes
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear
me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest
And everything left’s a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else’s more
I’m riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it’s better I can’t keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write
on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear
me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle

Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat n tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear
me)
Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
(Nobody’s listening)
Head full of anger, held in my chest
(Nobody’s listening)
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat n tears
(Nobody’s listening)
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
(Nobody’s listening)

Instrumental song
13. Numb
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow)
I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
holding too tightly
afraid to lose control
cause everything that you thought I would be
has fallen apart
right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in
you
I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
I've become so numb
I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be

COLLISION COURSE (2004)
With Jay Z
1. Dirt off your shoulder/Lying from
you
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
When I pretend to forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can
But I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay
I'm just trying to bend the truth
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be
So I'm lying my way from you
If you feelin like a pimp, go and brush your shoulders
off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
This is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder
I probably owe it to y'all, proud to be locked by the
force
Tryin to hustle some things, that go with the Porsche
Feelin no remorse, feelin like my hand was forced
Middle finger to the Lord, grip I'm a boss
Stab the ladies they love me, from the bleachers they
screamin
All the ballers is bouncin they like the way I be leanin
All the rappers be hatin, off the track that I'm makin
But all the hustlers they love it just to see one of us
make it
Came from the bottom the bottom, to the top of the
pots
London, Japan and I'm straight off the block
Like a running back, get it man, I'm straight off the
block
I can run it back cause I'm straight with the Roc
If you feelin like a pimp, go and brush your shoulders
off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
This is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta Get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta Get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta Get, that, dirt off your shoulder
You gotta Get, that, dirt off your shoulder
Your homey Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda
I just whipped up a watch, tryin to get me a Rover
Tryin to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yessir
Keep the Heckler close, you know them smokers'll test
ya
But like, fifty -two cards when I'm, I'm through dealin
Now fifty-two bars come it, now you feel 'em
Now, fifty-two cars roll out, remove ceiling
In case fifty-two broads come out, now you chillin
with a boss bitch of course S.C. on the sleeve
At the 40/40 club, ESPN on the screen
I paid a grip for the jeans, plus the slippers is clean
No chrome on the wheels, I'm a grown-up for real
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me and
Trying to bend the truth
The more I push the more I'm pulling away
'Cause I'm
Lying my way from you
No, no turning back now
I want to be pushed aside
So let me go
No, no turning back now
Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
No turning back now
Anywhere on my own
'Cause I can see
No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
Is me
This isn't what I want it to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I want it to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I want it to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
This isn't what I want it to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me
Like this
You
No turning back now
I want to be pushed aside
So let me go
No, no turning back now
Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
No turning back now
Than anywhere on my own
'Cause I can't see
No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
Is me

2. Big pimpin’/Papercut
Hahaha, wasting your talent Randy!
Yeah, you're ready?
It's like I'm paranoid, lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right
Come on!
Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here is not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches everytime they lie
A face that laughs everytime they fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid, lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right
You know I - thug 'em, fuck 'em, love 'em, leave 'em
Cause I don't fuckin' need em
Take 'em out the hood, keep 'em lookin' good
But I don't fuckin' feed 'em
First time they fuss I'm breezin'
Talkin 'bout, "What's the reasons?"
I'm a pimp in every sense of the word, bitch
Better trust than believe' em
In the cut where I keep 'em
'til I need a nut, 'til I need to beat the guts
Then it's, beep beep and I'm pickin' 'em up
Let 'em play with the dick in the truck
Many chicks wanna put Jigga fist in cuffs
Divorce him and split his bucks
Just because you got good head, I'm a break bread
So you can be livin' it up? Shit I..
Parts with nothin', y'all be frontin'
Me give my heart to a woman?
Not for nothin', never happen
I'll be forever mackin'
Heart cold as assassins, I got no passion
I got no patience
And I hate waitin'...
Hoe get yo' ass in
And let's ri-i-i-i-i-ide... check 'em out now
ri-i-i-i-i-ide, yeah
And let's ri-i-i-i-i-ide... check 'em out now

We doin'... big pimpin', we spendin' G's
Check 'em out now
Big pimpin', on B.L.A.D.'s

It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and B.U.N.B
Yo yo yo... big pimpin', spendin' G's

Uh, uh, Jigga What?
Uh, uh, Jigga Who?
Uh, uh, Jigga What?
Uh, uh, Jigga Who?
Uh, uh, Jigga What?
You gonna need a vocal here right?
Motherfuckers wanna act loco, hit 'em wit', numerous
shots with the fo'-fo'
Faggots runnin' to the Po-Po's, smoke 'em like cocoa
Fuck rap, coke by the boatload
Fuck dat, on the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
Left holes through some guy clothes
Stop your bullshittin', glock with the full clip
Motherfuckers better duck when the fool spit
One shot could make a nigga do a full flip
See the nigga layin' shocked when the bullet hit
And hey ma, how you, know nigga'z wanna buy you
But see me I wanna fuck for free, like Akinyele
Take this ride 'til you feel it inside ya belly
If it's tight get the K-Y Jelly
All night get you wide up inside the telly
Side to side, 'til you say Jay-Z you're too much for me
I am
A little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can’t help the fact
That everybody can see these scars
I am
What I want you to want what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I
Let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause your all that I've got
Got a condo with nuttin' but condoms in it
The same place where the rhymes is invented
So all I do is rap and sex, imagine how I stroke
See how I was flowin' on my last cassette?
Rapid-fire like I'm blastin a tec, never jam though
Never get high, never run out of ammo
Nigga'z hatin' 'n' shit cause I slayed your bitch
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
And now you're, actin' raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your hoe, wanna marry your
hoe
Now she's mad at me, cause your majesty, just
happened to be
A pimp with a tragedy
She wanted, us to end, cause I fucked her friend
She gave me one more chance and I fucked her again
I seen her tears as she busted in, I said
"Shit there's a draft, shut the door bitch and come on
in!"
I am
A little bit insecure a little unconfident
Cause you don't understand I do what I can

It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you

So I
Let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you’re all that I've got
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me, like it or not

[JAY-Z]
Thank you, thank you, thank you, you're far too kind
[JAY-Z: Chorus]
Now can I get an encore, do you want more
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar.. (yeah, whoo!)
Now what the hell are you waitin for
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, nigga make some noise

Get 'em J..
[JAY-Z: Verse One]
Who you know fresher than Hov'? Riddle me that
The rest of y'all know where I'm lyrically at
Can't none of y'all mirror me back
Yeah hearin me rap is like hearin G. Rap in his prime
I'm, young H.O., rap's Grateful Dead
Back to take over the globe, now break bread
I'm in, Boeing jets, Global Express
Out the country but the blueberry still connect
On the low but the yacht got a triple deck
But when you Young, what the f*** you expect? (Yep,
yep)
Grand openin, grand closin
God your man Hov' cracked the can open again
Who you gon' find doper than him with no pen
just draw off inspiration
Soon you gon' see you can't replace him
with cheap imitations for DESE GENERATIONS
[Repeat Chorus]
{What the hell are you waiting forrrr?}
[JAY-Z: Verse Two]
{*sighs*} Look what you made me do, look what I
made for you
Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you
When you first come in the game, they try to play you
Then you drop a couple of hits, look how they wave to
you
From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years
(yea)
As fate would have it, Jay's status appears
to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan, wearin the 4-5
It ain't to play games witchu
It's to aim at you, probably maim you
If I owe you I'm blowin you to smithereeens
c***sucker take one for your team
And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)
I came, I saw, I conquered
From record sales, to sold out concerts
So muh'f***er if you want this encore
I need you to scream, 'til your lungs get sore
[LINKIN PARK: Verse]
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
But under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertone, just caught in the undertone)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertone, just caught in the undertone)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
[LINKIN PARK: Chorus]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I've become so tired, so much more aware
I've becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

This is fun
Ladies and gentlemen, put our hands together for the

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 8th wonder of
the world
The flow o' the century... always timeless... HOVE!
Thank you for comin' out tonight
You could'a been anywhere in the world, but you're
here with us
We appreciate that... uh...
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
Was herbin' 'em in the home of the terrapins
Got it dirt cheap for them
Plus if they was short wit' cheese I would work wit'
them
Boy and we got rid of that dirt for them
Wasn't born hustlers I was burpin' 'em
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' sheezy my neezy keep my arms so freezy
Can't leave rap alone the game needs me
Haters want me clapped and chromed it ain't easy
Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in
But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty, he who does not feel me is not real to me
Therefore he doesn't exist
So poof... vamoose son of a bitch
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Fo' shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
That's the anthem get'cha damn hands up
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Not guilty ya'll gotta feel me
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A (Check it out)
Yo, It starts with one thing...
I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on and didn’t even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all
fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a
time when
I tried so
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
LP, Jay-Z, Help me out
We'll have a good old time out there
It starts with

If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me!
He's got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure his casket's closed
Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
He's from the hood stupid what type of facts are those
If you grew up with holes in your zapitos
You'd celebrate the minute you was havin' doe
So fuck critics you can kiss our whole assholes
You don't like our lyrics you can press fast forward
Got beef with radio if we don't play they show
They don't play our hits well we don't give a shit, so
All these mags trying to use our ass
So advertisers can give em more cash for ads...fuckers
I don't know what you take us as
Or understand the intellegence that Jay-Z has
From rags to ritches nigga we ain't dumb
We got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me!
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
In my rear view mirror is the mother fuckin' law
I got two choices ya'll pull over the car or
Bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor
Now i ain't tryin to see no highway chase with jake
Plus i got a few dollars i can fight the case
So i...pull over to the side of the road
And i heard "Son do you know why i'm stoppin' you

Cause i'm young and i'm black and my hats real low
Do i look like a mind reader sir, i don't know
Am i under arrest or should i guess some mo?
"Well you was doin fifty five in a fifty four"
"Liscense and regestration and step out of the car"
"Are you carryin' a weapon on you i know alot of you
are"
I ain't steppin' out of shit all my papers legit
"Do you mind if i look round the car a little bit?"
Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk
and the back
And i know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for
that
"Aren't you sharp as a tack you some type of lawyer or
something?"
"Or somebody important or somethin'?"
Nah i ain't pass the bar but i know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
"Well see how smart you are when the K-9's come"
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one

Now once upon a time not too long ago
A nigga like myself had to strong arm a hoe
This is not a hoe in the sense of havin' a pussy
But a pussy havin no God Damn sense, try and push
me
I tried to ignore him and talk to the Lord
Pray for him, cause some fools just love to perform
You know the type loud as a motor bike
But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
The only thing that's gonna happen is im'ma get to
clappin
He and his boys gon be yappin to the captain
And there i go traped in the kit kat again
Back through the system with the riff raff again
Fiends on the floor scratchin' again
Paparatzi's with they cameras snappin' them
D.A. tred to give the nigga the shaft again
Half-a-mil for bail 'cause i'm African
All because ths fool was harrasin' them
Tryin to play the boy like hes saccarin'
But ain't nothin sweet 'bout how i hold my gun
I got 99 problems but this bitch ain't one
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son

Shut up when I'm talking to you

You know what I mean
You could put a label on a life,
Put a label on a lifestyle
Sometimes...
You know
Put a label on how you wake up every morning
And go to bed at night
Hybrid
I’ve been diggin into crates ever since I was livin in
space
Before the retrace, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology and big bang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
Chincheckin kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them
what I’m made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of you
emcees who hate us
So you can try on,
Leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity let icons be bygones
I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp **** with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this

Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
Akira, I put a kink in the backbones of clones with
microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin bright day over what you might say
My Blood type's Krylon Technicolor type A
On highways ride with road rage
Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Over while the same thing
Sing song karaoke copy bull****
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at
attention
Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol, official, 16 line a rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spin rah, blah blah blah
You can say you saw

The Unforgettable sound

The Unforgettable sound

Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
And like the rock and rap
You know what I mean
People act like you know
Wow that’s a new invention
That shits brand new
We're constantly evolving
It is constantly changing
Sometimes...
There's a lot of change
Everybody's always up with labels
There ain’t no label for this ****
They're always gonna try to put a label on it
Try to create something
So they can water it down
Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood
Under the gun like a new disease
Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood
Under the gun like a new disease

2. It's going down (The X-Ecutioners)
(featuring Mr. Hahn & Mike Shinoda)
I knew I was being threatened
Do you think it’s worth holding out?
I mean I’ve heard some pretty ugly things about those
guys
Ugly stories
Watch them flee
Watch them flee
Rap up
Watch them flee
Hip-Hop hits
And you do it like this
It’s going down
The rhythm projects ‘round the next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detect the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting pot of a super-futureesque style
The combination of a vocal caress
With lungs that gasp for breath
From emotional stress
With special effects
And a distorted collage
Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage
It’s going down
The logical progression on a the timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey
Now it’s going down
A logical progression on the timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take u on a an audible odyssey
Now it’s going down
Put put put it up
It said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It’s going down
Put put it up
It said it go- go- goes like this
And you do it like this
Its going down
Once again it is
Composed sentences all together venomous
The four elements of natural force
Projected daily through the sound of the source
Everybody on board with this blend
The sword with the pen
The mightiest is the weapons
Swinging right from the chin
The elevate of mental states
Long gone with the wind
To defend men for shoddy imitation pretends
It’s going down
Stalence emulation readily
Trekking through the weaponry
Of the pure pedigree
Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me
Whatever the weather be
We invent the steadily
It’s going down to sub-terrestrial high
I rhyme regiment that’s calling the shots
Execution of collaborative plots
Ready to bring the separation of style to a stop
It’s going down
A logical progression on a the timeline
The separation narrowed down to a fine line
To blur the edges so they blend together properly
Take you on an audible odyssey
Now, it’s going down
Put put put it up
It said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It’s going down
Put put it up
It said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It’s going down
X-men ‘bout to blast of world wide
Yo it’s request only
X- men ‘bout to blast of world wide
It’s built from scratch
Album in stores soon
‘Bout to blast off world wide
And you do it like this
It’s going down
Put put put it up
It said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It’s going down
Put put it up
It said it goes like this
And you do it like this
It’s going down
Like this...
3. The morning after
Caught up against the war again
Time to chill in the bar again
Never seize to amaze in minds
So I just sleep sleep sleep please don't
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
Cut my peace by the flower again
Lick my wounds like a dove again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel
That I see I see please let it be but don't
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after

Wake me till the morning after
Oh I'm so tired there has got to be an end
to the pain I feel when I'm
awake and alive alive alive
alive and not dreamin'
Caught up against the war again
Time to chill in the bar again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel
That I see I see please let it be but don't
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
Oh I'm so tired there has got to be an end
to the pain I feel when I'm
Awake and alive alive alive
Alive and not dreamin'
4. Wonderful (Stone temple pilots)
(featuring Chester Bennington)
If I were to die this mornin'
Would you tell me things that you wouldn't have?
Would you be my navigator?
Would you take me to a place we could hide?
As I'm fallin' out
I wonder what I lost
Must be movin' on
Know I'll be safe but not alone
I wanna ask you to forgive me
I haven't been the best with all that I had
Wish I'd only laid beside you
I think I spread myself a little too thin
As I'm fallin' out
I wonder what I lost
Must be movin' on
Know I'll be safe but not alone
You're the everything
That led me to believe,
"Hold on, hold on"
You're the wonder in everything
That's wonderful
As I'm fadin' out
I don't feel anything at all
Must be movin' on
Know you'll be safe but not alone
You're the everything
That led me to believe,
"Hold on, hold on"
You're the wonder in everything
That's wonderful
Know you'll be safe but not alone
5. Karma killer (Cyclefly)
(featuring Chester Bennington)
I spread through the morning
I'm kicking in the twilight as she comes
Time waits at a darling
Spooning the thickness and feeding our open mouths
The price you pay is always
Too high, or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Time waits at the darling
When your following the animals around (around)
I spread through the morning
Feeding our open mouths and spooning the thickness
out
The price you pay is always
Too high, or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Too high, or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
My eyes are weary now
My eyes are weary
My eyes are weary now
Too high, or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Too high, or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Karma Killer
Will I ever miss you?
6. System (Chester Bennington)
(Queen of the damned OST)
Sys...tem...
Sys...tem...
Sys...tem...
You fell away
What more can I say?
The feelings evolved
I won't let it out
I can't replace
Your screaming face
Feeling the sickness inside
Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
Will be fine
Then your body will be mine
So many words
Can't describe my face
This feeling's evolved
So soon to great bounds
I can't relate
to a happy state
Feeling the blood run inside

Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
Will be fine
Then your body will be mine
Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
Keep me down to watch you...
Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry?
Keep on trying, I'm not done so easily (I will not die)
Why is everything so fucking hard for me? (I will not
die)
Why is everything so fucking hard for me? (I will not
die)
Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
Will be fine
Then your body will be mine
Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
Will be fine
Then your body will be mine
7. By myself (Marylin Manson remix)
What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride / from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I / sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I / try to catch them red - handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on / when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself [myself]
I ask why [myself]
I can't rely on myself [myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can´t rely on myself
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I
Turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on / then they'll
Take from me 'till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
By myself [myself]
I ask why [myself]
I can't rely on myself [myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can´t rely on myself
In my mind I find
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
How do you think
I've lost so much
I'm so afraid
I'm out of to uch
How do you expect
I will know what to do
When all I know
Is what you tell me to
Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside
Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
