    1. NOBODY CAN SAVE ME

      (Mike Shinoda/Brad Delson/Jon Green)

       

      I’m dancing with my demons

      I’m hanging off the edge

      Storm clouds gather beneath me

      Waves break above my head

      Headfirst hallucination

      I wanna fall wide awake now

       

      You tell me it’s alright

      Tell me I’m forgiven tonight

      But nobody can save me now

      I’m holding up a light

      Chasing out the darkness inside

      ’Cause nobody can save me

       

      Stared into this illusion

      For answers yet to come

      I chose a false solution

      But nobody proved me wrong

      Headfirst hallucination

      I wanna fall wide awake

      Watch the ground giving way now

       

      You tell me it’s alright

      Tell me I’m forgiven tonight

      But nobody can save me now

      I’m holding up a light

      Chasing out the darkness inside

      ’Cause nobody can save me

       

      Been searching somewhere out there

      For what’s been missing right here

      I’ve been searching somewhere out there

      For what’s been missing right here

      I wanna fall wide awake now

       

      So tell me it’s alright

      Tell me I’m forgiven tonight

      And only I can save me now

      I’m holding up a light

      Chasing out the darkness inside

      And I don’t want to let you down

      But only I can save me

       

      Been searching somewhere out there

      For what’s been missing right here

    2. GOOD GOODBYE feat. Pusha T and Stormzy

      (Mike Shinoda/Brad Delson/Jesse Shatkin/Terrance Thornton/Michael Omari)

       

      So say goodbye and hit the road

      Pack it up and disappear

      You better have some place to go

      ’Cause you can’t come back around here

      Good goodbye

       

      (Don’t you come back no more)

       

      Live from the rhythm it’s

      Something wild, venomous

      Enemies trying to read me

      You’re all looking highly illiterate

      Blindly forgetting if i’m in the mix

      You won’t find an equivalent

      I’ve been here killing it 

      Longer than you’ve been alive, you idiot

      And it makes you so mad

      Somebody else could be stepping in front of you

      And it makes you so mad that you’re not

      The only one / there’s more than one of you

      And you can’t understand the fact

      That it’s over and done

      Hope you had fun

      You’ve got a lot to discuss on the bus

      Headed back where you’re from

       

       

      Pusha T:

      Goodbye / good riddance

      A period is after every sentence

      Did my time with my cellmate

      Maxed out so now we finished

      Every day was like a hail date

      Every night was like a hailstorm

      Took her back to my tinted windows

      Showin’ out she in rare form

      Wings up now i’m airborne

      King push, they got a chair for him

      Make way for the new queen

      The old lineup where they cheer for ’em

      Consequence when you ain’t there for him

      Were you there for him?

      Did you care for him?

      You were dead wrong

       

      Stormzy:

      Yo

      Let me say goodbye to my demons

      Let me say goodbye to my past life

      Let me say goodbye to the darkness

      Tell ’em that I’d rather be here in the starlight

      Tell ’em that I’d rather be here where they love me

      Tell ’em that I’m yours this is our life

      And I still keep raising the bar like

      Never seen a young black brother

      In the chart twice

      Goodbye to the stereotypes

      You can’t tell my kings we can’t

      Mandem we're linking tings in parks

      Now I got a tune with Linkin Park

      Like goodbye to my old ho’s

      Goodbye to the cold roads

      I can’t die for my postcode

      Young little Mike from the Gold Coast

      And now I’m inside with my bro bro’s

      Gang

    3. TALKING TO MYSELF

      (Mike Shinoda/Brad Delson/Ilsey Juber/JR Rotem)

       

      Tell me what I’ve gotta do

      There’s no getting through to you

      Lights are on but nobody’s home

      You say I can’t understand

      But you’re not giving me a chance

      When you leave me where do you go

       

      All the walls that you keep building

      All this time that I spend chasing

      All the ways that I keep losing you

      And the truth is

       

      You turned into someone else

      You keep running like the sky is falling

      I can whisper I can yell

      But I know / yeah I know / yeah I know

      I’m just talking to myself

      (Ooh) Talking to myself 

      (Ooh) Talking to myself

      (Ooh) Yeah I know / yeah I know / yeah I know

      I’m just talking to myself

       

      I admit I made mistakes

      But yours might cost you everything

      Can’t you hear me calling you home

       

      All the walls that you keep building

      All this time that I spend chasing

      All the ways that I keep losing you

      And the truth is

       

      You turned into someone else

      You keep running like the sky is falling

      I can whisper I can yell

      But I know / yeah I know / yeah I know

      I’m just talking to myself

       

      (Ooh) Talking to myself

      (Ooh) Talking to myself

      (Ooh) Yeah I know / yeah I know / yeah I know

      I’m just talking to myself

    4. BATTLE SYMPHONY

      (Mike Shinoda/Brad Delson/Jon Green)

       

      I got a long way to go

      And a long memory

      I been searching for an answer

      Always just out of reach

      Blood on the floor

      Sirens repeat

      I been searching for the courage

      To face my enemies

      When they turn down the lights

       

      I hear my battle symphony

      All the world in front of me

      If my armor breaks

      I’ll fuse it back together

      Battle symphony

      Please just don’t give up on me

      And my eyes are wide awake

      For my battle symphony

       

      They say that I don’t belong

      Say that I should retreat

      That I’m marching to the rhythm

      Of a lonesome defeat

      But the sound of your voice

      Puts the pain in reverse

      No surrender, no illusions

      And for better or worse

      When they turn down the lights

       

      I hear my battle symphony

      All the world in front of me

      If my armor breaks

      I’ll fuse it back together

      Battle symphony

      Please just don’t give up on me

      And my eyes are wide awake

       

      If I fall, get knocked down

      Pick myself up off the ground

      When they turn down the lights

       

      I hear my battle symphony

      All the world in front of me

      If my armor breaks

      I’ll fuse it back together

      Battle symphony

      Please just don’t give up on me

      And my eyes are wide awake

      For my battle symphony

    5. INVISIBLE

      (Mike Shinoda/Justin Parker)

       

      I’ve got an aching head

      Echoes and buzzing noises

      I know the words we said

      But wish I could’ve turned our voices down

      This is not black and white

      Only organized confusion

      I’m just trying to get it right

      And in spite of all I should’ve done

       

      I was not mad at you

      I was not trying to tear you down

      The words that I could’ve used

      I was too scared to say out loud

      If I cannot break your fall

      I’ll pick you up right off the ground

      If you felt invisible

      I won’t let you feel that now

      Invisible

       

      You didn’t get your way

      And it’s an empty feeling

      You’ve got a lot to say

      And you just want to know you’re being heard

      But this is not black and white

      There are no clear solutions

      And I’m just trying to get it right

      And in spite of all I should’ve done

       

      I was not mad at you

      I was not trying to tear you down

      The words that I could’ve used

      I was too scared to say out loud

      If I cannot break your fall

      I’ll pick you up right off the ground

      If you felt invisible

      I won’t let you feel that now

      Invisible

    6. HEAVY feat. Kiiara

      (Mike Shinoda/Brad Delson/Chester Bennington/Julia Michaels/Justin Tranter)

       

      I don’t like my mind right now

      Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary

      Wish that I could slow things down

      I wanna let go but there’s comfort in the panic

      And I drive myself crazy

      Thinking everything's about me

      Yeah I drive myself crazy

      ’Cause I can’t escape the gravity

       

      I'm holding on

      Why is everything so heavy

      Holding on

      To so much more than I can carry

      I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

      If I just let go, I'd be set free

      Holding on

      Why is everything so heavy

       

      You say that I'm paranoid

      But I’m pretty sure the world is out to get me

      It’s not like I make the choice

      To let my mind stay so f****** messy 

      I know I'm not the center of the universe

      But you keep spinning round me just the same

       

      I'm holding on

      Why is everything so heavy

      Holding on

      To so much more than I can carry

      I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

      If I just let go, I'd be set free

      Holding on

      Why is everything so heavy

       

      I know I'm not the center of the universe

      But you keep spinning round me just the same

      And I drive myself crazy

      Thinking everything’s about me

       

      I'm holding on

      Why is everything so heavy

      Holding on

      To so much more than I can carry

      I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

      If I just let go, I'd be set free

      Holding on

      Why is everything so heavy

    7. SORRY FOR NOW

      (Mike Shinoda)

       

      Watching the wings cut through the clouds

      Watching the raindrops blinking red and white

      Thinking of you back on the ground

      There with a fire burning in your eyes

      I only halfway apologized

       

      And I’ll be sorry for now

      That I couldn’t be around

      Sometimes things refuse to go the way we planned

      Oh I’ll be sorry for now

      That I couldn’t be around

      There will be a day that you will understand

      You will understand

       

      After a while you may forget

      But just in case the memories cross your mind

      You couldn’t know this when I left

      Under the fire of your angry eyes

      I never wanted to say goodbye

       

      So I’ll be sorry for now

      That I couldn’t be around

      Sometimes things refuse to go the way we planned

      Oh I’ll be sorry for now

      That I couldn’t be around

      There will be a day that you will understand

      You will understand

       

      (Yeah) Stop telling them to pump the bass up

      Tried to call home but nobody could wait up

      Switching time zones can’t pick the pace up

      I just passed out by the time you wake up

      The best things come to those who wait

      And it’s bound to get rough on any road you take

      But don’t you ever have a doubt and make no mistake

      I can’t wait to come back when I’m going away

       

      So I’ll be sorry for now

      That I couldn’t be around

      There are things we have to do that we can’t stand

      Oh I’ll be sorry for now

      That I couldn’t be around

      There will be a day that you will understand

      You will understand

    8. HALFWAY RIGHT

      (Mike Shinoda/Brad Delson/Chester Bennington/Ross Golan)

       

      I scream at myself when there’s nobody else to fight

      I don’t lose / I don’t win / If I’m wrong then I’m halfway right

       

      Used to get high with the dead end kids

      Abandoned houses where the shadows lived

      I'd never been higher than I was that night

      I woke up driving my car

      I couldn't see then what I see right now

      The road dissolving like an empty vow

      Couldn’t remember where I’d been that night

      I knew I took it too far

       

      All you said to do was slow down

      I remember / now I remember

      All you said to do was slow down

      But I was already gone

       

      I scream at myself when there’s nobody else to fight

      I don’t lose / I don’t win / If I’m wrong then I’m halfway right

      I know what I want, but it feels like I’m paralyzed

      I don’t lose / I don’t win / If I’m wrong then I’m halfway right

      Halfway right

       

      They told me kid you’re going way too fast

      You burn too bright you know you’ll never last

      It was bullshit then I guess it makes sense now

      I woke up driving my car

      They said I’d lose you if I lost control

      I just laughed because what do they know

      Here I am standing all alone

      Because I took it too far

       

      All you said to do was slow down

      I remember / now I remember

      All you said to do was slow down

      But I was already gone

       

      I scream at myself when there’s nobody else to fight

      I don’t lose / I don’t win / If I’m wrong then I’m halfway right

      I know what I want, but it feels like I’m paralyzed

      I don’t lose / I don’t win / If I’m wrong then I’m halfway right

      Halfway right

    9. ONE MORE LIGHT

      (Mike Shinoda/Francis White)

       

      Should’ve stayed

      Were there signs I ignored

      Can I help you not to hurt anymore

      We saw brilliance when the world was asleep

      There are things that we can have

      But can’t keep

      If they say

       

      Who cares if one more light goes out

      In the sky of a million stars

      It flickers, flickers

      Who cares when someone’s time runs out

      If a moment is all we are

      Or quicker, quicker

      Who cares if one more light goes out

      Well I do

       

      The reminders pull the floor from your feet

      In the kitchen, one more chair than you need

      Oh, and you’re angry

      And you should be

      It’s not fair

      Just ’cause you can’t see it

      Doesn’t mean it isn’t there

      If they say

       

      Who cares if one more light goes out

      In the sky of a million stars

      It flickers, flickers

      Who cares when someone’s time runs out

      If a moment is all we are

      Or quicker, quicker

      Who cares if one more light goes out

      Well I do

    10. SHARP EDGES

      (Mike Shinoda/Brad Delson/Ilsey Juber)

       

      Momma always told me don’t you run

      Don’t you run with scissors, son

      You’re gonna hurt someone

      Momma told me look before you leap

      Always think before you speak

      And watch the friends you keep

       

      Stay along the beaten path

      Never listened when she said

       

      Sharp edges have consequences

      I guess that I had to find out for myself

      Sharp edges have consequences, now

      Every scar is a story I can tell

       

      Should’ve played it safer from the start

      Loved you like a house of cards

      I let it fall apart

      But all the things I couldn’t understand

      And never could’ve planned

      They made me who I am

       

      Put your nose in paperbacks

      Instead of smoking cigarettes

      These are years you’re never getting back

      Stay along the beaten path

      I never listened when she said

       

      Sharp edges have consequences

      I guess that I had to find out for myself

      Sharp edges have consequences, now

      Every scar is a story I can tell

       

      We all fall down

      We live somehow

      We learn what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger

       

      So stay along the beaten path

      I never listened when she said

      Sharp edges have consequences

      I guess that I had to find out for myself

      Sharp edges have consequences, now

      Every scar is a story I can tell

      I fuck up everything I see

      Fighting in futility

       

      We start the final war

      Tell me what's worth fighting for

      When we know there's nothing more

      We take the hand or fist

      Just to sell ourselves for this

      The path we least resist

       

      No control / no surprise

      Got a different method but I still can bring the pain so

      Y'all stuck in that same flow / I got that insane flow

      High as y'all can get you're never really in my range though

      Yes I'm half anglo / half fried panko

      All prime-time rhymer / let the bass bang low

      All you fucking lames go / aiming at my name, know

      Careful what you shoot because you might hit what you aim for

       

      No control / no surprise

      Tossed the keys to the kingdom

      Down that hole in my eye

      I'm my own / casualty

      I'm my own

      Casualty

    2. So what ’cha waiting for

      Anticipating more

      While you debate what it could take to instigate a war

      Yeah I been hated more than time I wasn't hated for

      There's nothing they can fucking say they didn't say before

      But you could never see it

      Your battle's not mine

      Wanna skate and play it safe but this is take a shot time

      While you're waiting for a purpose I already got mine

      While you tell me step to it like 1, 2, 3, 4

       

      And if I do what you demand

      (You say) You'll let me understand

      (You say) You're gonna hold me to your word

      And if I sell myself away

      (You say) I'll have no debt to pay

      (You say) I'm gonna get what I deserve

       

      YOUR WORD / OBEYED

      MY DEBT / REPAID

      OUR TRUST / BETRAYED

      ALL FOR NOTHING

      ALL FOR NOTHING

       

      Kick back there's no other way to say it

      So let me break this fucker down for ya

      I really don't know ya

      You talk but let me show ya where to put your paranoia

      You're joking, I don't have a half a sucker bone to throw ya

      I'm disgusted, wonder what could've made ya tuck your tail below ya

      And no I'm not your soldier I'm not taking any orders

      I’m a five star general, infantry controller

      Need a lesson?  Let me show ya

      Have you checking your composure

      While I make you step to it like 1, 2, 3, 4

    3.  

      Tell us all again

      What you think we should be

      What the answers are

      What it is we can't see

      Tell us all again

      How to do what you say

      How to fall in line

      How there's no other way

      But oh, we all know

       

      You're guilty all the same

      Too sick to be ashamed

      You want to point your finger

      But there's no one else to blame

       

      Show us all again

      That our hands are unclean

      That we're unprepared

      That you have what we need

      Show us all again

      ’Cause we cannot be saved

      ’Cause the end is near

      Now there's no other way

      And oh, you will know

       

      [Rakim]

      Yeah, you already know what it is

      Can y'all explain what kind of land is this

      When a man has plans of being rich

      But the bosses' plans is wealthy?

      Dirty money scheme, a clean split is nonsense

      It's insane

      Even corporate hands is filthy

      They talk team and take the paper route

      All they think about is bank accounts, assets and realty

      At anybody's expense

      No shame with a clear conscience

      No regrets and guilt free

      They claim that ain't the way that they built me

      The smoke screen before the flame

      Knowing as soon as the dough or the deal peak

      They say it's time for things to change

      Rearrange like good product rebuilt cheap

      Anything if it's more to gain

      Drained, manipulated like artists, it's real deep

      Until no more remains

      But I'm still me

      Like authentic hip-hop and rock

      ’Til pop and radio and record companies killed me

      Try to force me to stray and obey

      And got the gall to say how real can real be

      You feel me, we'll see that green could be to blame

      Or greedy for the fame

      TV or a name

      The media, the game

      To me you're all the same

      You're guilty

    4. instrumental

    5. There's no peace / only war

      Victory decides who's wrong or right

      It will not cease / only grow

      You better be prepared to fight

      And it will not apologize

      For laying down your life

       

      War

       

      There's no pain / it will spare

      Fear has become your only right

      And once you're lost / in your despair

      Forever black eternal night

      And it will not apologize

      For laying down your life

       

      War

      Destroyer

      War

      Destroyer

       

      It needs no side to justify

      Laying down your life

       

      War

      Destroyer

      War

    6. This is war with no weapons

      Marching with no stepping

      Murder with no killing

      Illin’ every direction

      First / no sequel

      Do the math / no equal

      John with no Yoko:

      More power less people 

      And no I'm not afraid of that

      Print it in your paperback

      Every rap is made in fact to act as a delayed attack

      Every phrase a razor blade that's saved until they play it back

      To slay and leave ’em laying on the pavement

      Bang

      Fade to black

       

      In the wastelands of today

      Where there's nothing left to lose

      And there's nothing more to take

      But you force yourself to choose

      In the wastelands of today

      Where tomorrow disappears

      While the future slips away

      And your hope turns into fear

      In the wastelands of today

       

      Roll credits you get it the show's done

      They're talking for just talking but meaning, they got none

      None of ’em come proper they talk like a shotgun but

      How many got bred with integrity / not one / so no

      I'm not afraid to see you suckers hold a blade to me

      Ain't a way to shake the ground I built before you came to be

      Take it how you take it / I'm the opposite of vacancy

      And this is not negotiation ya'll can hate and wait and see

    7. A fire needs a space to burn

      A breath to build a glow

      I’ve heard it said a thousand times

      But now I know

       

      That you don’t know what you’ve got

      Oh you don't know what you've got

      No you don't know what you've got

      Until it's gone

       

      I thought I kept you safe and sound

      I thought I made you strong

      But something made me realize

      That I was wrong

       

      ’Cause finding what you got sometimes

      Is finding it alone

      And I can finally see your light

      When I let go

       

      ’Cause you don't know what you've got

      Until it's gone

      ’Til it's gone…

       

      ’Cause you don't know what you've got

      Oh you don't know what you've got

      No you don't know what you've got

      It’s your battle to be fought

      No you don't know what you've got

      ’Til it's gone

    8. I've seen the blood

      I've seen the broken

      The lost and the sights unseen

      I want a flood

      I want an ocean

      To wash my confusion clean

       

      I can't resolve this empty story

      I can't repair the damage done

       

      We are the fortunate ones

      Who've never faced oppression's gun

      We are the fortunate ones

      Imitations of rebellion

       

      We act it out

      We wear the colors

      Confined by the things we own

      We're not without

      We're like each other

      Pretending we're here alone

       

      And far away, they burn their buildings

      Right in the face of the damage done

       

      We are the fortunate ones

      Who've never faced oppression's gun

      We are the fortunate ones

      Imitations of rebellion

       

      REBELLION, REBELLION

      WE LOST BEFORE THE START

      REBELLION, REBELLION

      ONE BY ONE WE FALL APART

       

      We are the fortunate ones

      Who've never faced oppression's gun

      We are the fortunate ones

      Imitations of imitations of...

      We are the fortunate ones

      Who've never faced oppression's gun

      We are the fortunate ones

      Imitations of rebellion

    9. There's a fragile game we play

      With the ghosts of yesterday

      If we can't let go we'll never say goodbye

      No trace of what remains

      No stones to mark the graves

      Only memories we thought we could deny

       

      There was so much more to lose

      Than the pain I put you through

      In my carelessness I left you in the dark

      And the blood may wash away

      But the scars will never fade

      At least I know somehow I made a mark

       

      In the dark

      In the light

      Nothing left

      Nothing right

    10. instrumental

    11. Tearing me apart with / the words you wouldn't say

      And suddenly tomorrow's / a moment washed away

      ’Cause I don't have a reason, and you don't have the time

      But we both keep on waiting for something we won't find

       

      The light on the horizon

      Was brighter yesterday

      With shadows floating over

      The scars begin to fade

      We said it was forever

      But then it slipped away

      Standing at the end of

      The final masquerade

       

      All I ever wanted / the secrets that you keep

      All you ever wanted / the truth I couldn't speak

      ’Cause I can't see forgiveness, and you can't see the crime

      But we both keep on waiting for what we left behind

    12. Today

      We stood on the wall

      We laughed at the sun

      We laughed at the guns

      We laughed at it all

      And when they

      They told us to go

      We paid them no mind

      Like every other time

      But little did we know

       

      Today

      I looked for a sign

      With flames in my hands

      A line in the sand

      Between yours and mine

      And it came

      Like fire from below

      Your greed led the call

      My flag had to fall

      But little did you know

       

      Another day / your truth will come

      You’re gonna pay for what you’ve done

      You’ll get what’s yours / and face your crime

      You’ll tell them give me back what’s mine

      Give me back what’s mine

       

      I had never been a coward

      I had never seen blood

      You had sold me an ocean

      And I was lost in the flood

      We were counting on a leader

      We were driven by need

      But couldn't take temptation

      And we were blinded by greed

      You were steady as a sniper

      We were waiting on a wire

      So we never saw it coming

      When you ran from the fire

      You can try intimidation

      And you can try to ignore

      But when the time comes calling, yeah

      You are gonna get yours

       

      And so today / your truth has come

      You’re gonna pay for what you’ve done

      You’ll get what’s yours / you’re out of time

      And you will give me back what’s mine

      Give me back what’s mine

    1. God save us every one

      Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns

      For the sins of our hand

      The sins of our tongue

      The sins of our father

      The sins of our young

    2. “We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form, and says, ‘Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.’ I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.” —Robert Oppenheimer

    3. I used the deadwood to make the fire rise

      The blood of innocence burning in the skies

      I filled my cup with the rising of the sea

      And poured it out in an ocean of debris

      Oh

       

      I’m swimming in the smoke / of bridges I have burned

      So don’t apologize / I’m losing what I don’t deserve

      What I don’t deserve

       

      We held our breath when the clouds began to form

      But you were lost in the beating of the storm

      And in the end we were made to be apart

      Like separate chambers of the human heart

      No

       

      I’m swimming in the smoke / of bridges I have burned

      So don’t apologize / I’m losing what I don’t deserve     

      It’s in the blackened bones / of bridges I have burned

      So don’t apologize / I’m losing what I don’t deserve

      What I don’t deserve

       

      I’m swimming in the smoke / of bridges I have burned

      So don’t apologize / I’m losing what I don’t deserve     

      The blame is mine alone / for bridges I have burned

      So don’t apologize / I’m losing what I don’t deserve

      What I don’t deserve

       

      I used the deadwood to make the fire rise

      The blood of innocence burning in the skies

    4. Instrumental

    5. I am not / a pattern to be followed

      The pill that I’m on is a tough one to swallow

      I’m not a criminal / not a role model

      Not a born leader I’m a tough act to follow

      I am not / the fortune and the fame

      Nor the same person telling you to forfeit the game

      I came in the ring like a dog on a chain

      And I found out the underbelly’s sicker than it seems

      And it seems ugly / but it can get worse

      ’Cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse

      ’Cause once you got a theory of how the thing works

      Everybody wants the next thing to be just like the first

      And I’m not a robot

      I’m not a monkey

      I will not dance even if the beat’s funky

      Opposite of lazy / far from a punk

      Ya’ll ought to stop talking start trying to catch up motherfucker

      And all the people say

       

      Lauryn said money change a situation

      Big said it increase the complication

      Kane said don’t step / I ain’t the one

      Chuck said that uzi weigh a motherfuckin’ ton

      And I’m just a student of the game that they taught me

      Rockin’ every stage in every place that it brought me

      I’m awfully underrated / but came here to correct it

      And so it ain’t mistaken I’ma state it for the record /

      I am / the opposite of wack / opposite of weak

      Opposite of slack / synonym of heat

      Synonym of crack / closest to a peak

      Far from a punk

      Ya’ll ought to stop talking / start trying to catch up motherfucker

      And all the people say

       

      Oh / When they come for me

      Come for me

      I’ll be gone

    6. You say / you’re not gonna fight / ’cause no one will fight for you

      And you think / there’s not enough love / and no one to give it to

      And you’re sure / you’ve hurt for so long / you’ve got nothing left to lose

      So you say / you’re not gonna fight / ’cause no one will fight for you

       

      You say / the weight of the world / has kept you from letting go

      And you think / compassion’s a flaw / and you’ll never let it show

      And you’re sure / you’ve hurt in a way / that no one will ever know

      But someday / the weight of the world / will give you the strength to go

       

      Hold on / the weight of the world / will give you the strength to go

      So hold on / the weight of the world / will give you the strength to go

      So hold on / the weight of the world / will give you the strength to go

      Just hold on / the weight of your world / will give you the strength to go

    7. Instrumental

    8. This is not the end, this is not the beginning

      Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision

      But you listen through the tone and the violent rhythm and

      Though the words sound steady, something empty’s within ’em

      We say yeah / with fists flying up in the air

      Like we’re holding onto something that’s invisible there

      ’Cause we’re living at the mercy of the pain and fear

      Until we dead it / forget it / let it all disappear

       

      Waiting for the end to come / wishing I had strength to stand

      This was not what I had planned

      It’s out of my control

      Flying at the speed of light / thoughts were spinning in my head

      So many things were left unsaid

      It’s hard to let you go

       

      I know what it takes to move on

      I know how it feels to lie

      All I want to do is trade this life for something new

      Holding on to what I haven’t got

       

      Sitting in an empty room / Trying to forget the past

      This was never meant to last

      I wish it wasn’t so

       

      What was left when that fire was gone

      I thought it felt right but that right was wrong

      All caught up in the eye of the storm

      And trying to figure out what it’s like moving on

      And I don’t even know what kind of things I said

      My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead so

      Picking up the pieces now where to begin

      The hardest part of ending is starting again

    9. I’m stuck in this bed you made

      Alone with a sinking feeling

      I saw through the words you said

      To the secrets you’ve been keeping

      It’s written upon your face

      All the lies how they cut so deeply

      You can’t get enough you take

      And take and take and never say

       

      No / you’ve gotta get it inside

      You push it back down / You push it back down

      No / you’ll never get it inside

      Push it back down

      Black out

      Blood in your eye

       

      You say that it’s not your fault

      And swear that I am mistaken

      You said it’s not what it seems

      No remorse for the trust you’re breaking

      You run but then back you fall

      Suffocate in the mess you’re making

      You can’t get enough you take

      And take and take and take and take

      Fuck it

      Are you listening?

       

      No / you’ve gotta get it inside

      You push it back down / You push it back down

      No / you’ll never get it inside

      Push it back down / You push it back down

      No / you’ve gotta get it inside

      You push it back down / You push it back down

      No / you’ll never get it inside

      Push it back down

      Black out

      Blood in your eye

       

      Floating down / as colors fill the light

      We look up from the ground / in fields of paperwhite

      And floating up / you pass us in the night

      A future gazing out / a past to overwrite

      So come down / far below

      We’ve been waiting to collect the things you know

      Come down / far below

      We’ve been waiting to collect what you’ve let go

       

      Come down

      Oh

    10. “There’s a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part. You can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all” —Mario Savio

       

      To save face / how low can you go

      Talk a lot of game but yet you don’t know

      Static on the way / make us all say whoa

      The people up top push the people down low 

      Get down

      And obey every word

      Steady getting mine if you haven’t yet heard

      Wanna take what I got 

      Don’t be absurd

      Don’t fight the power

      Nobody gets hurt

      If you haven’t heard yet then I’m letting you know 

      There ain’t shit we don’t run when the guns unload

      And no one make a move unless my people say so

      Got everything outta control

      Now everybody go

       

      Steel unload / final blow

      We the animals / take control

      Hear us now / clear and true

      Wretches and kings we come for you

       

      So keep pace / how slow can you go

      Talk a lot of shit and yet you don’t know

      Fire on the way / make you all say whoa

      The people up top and the people down low

      Get down

      And I’m running it like that

      The front of the attack is exactly where I’m at

      Somewhere in between

      The kick and the hi hat

      The pen and the contract

      The pitch and the contact

      So get with the combat / I’m letting ’em know

      There ain’t shit you can say to make me back down no

      So / push the button let the whole thing blow

      Spinning everything outta control

      Now everybody go

       

      Steel unload / final blow

      We the animals / take control

      Hear us now / clear and true

      Wretches and kings we come for you

      Steel unload / fire blow

      Filthy animals / beat them low

      Skin and bone / black and blue

      No more this sun shall beat onto you

       

      From the front to the back and the side to side

      If you fear what I feel put ’em up real high

    11. “I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice… A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war, ‘This way of settling differences is not just.’ This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation’s homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love…” —Martin Luther King Jr.

    12. When you were standing in the wake of devastation

      When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown

      And with the cataclysm raining down

      Insides crying, “Save me now”

      You were there impossibly alone

       

      Do you feel cold and lost in desperation

      You build up hope but failure’s all you’ve known

      Remember all the sadness and frustration

      And let it go

      Let it go

       

      And in a burst of light that blinded every angel

      As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars

      You felt the gravity of tempered grace

      Falling into empty space

      No one there to catch you in their arms

       

      Do you feel cold and lost in desperation

      You build up hope but failure’s all you’ve known

      Remember all the sadness and frustration

      And let it go

      Let it go

    13. I’m swimming in the smoke / of bridges I have burned

      So don’t apologize / I’m losing what I don’t deserve     

      It’s in the blackened bones / of bridges I have burned

      So don’t apologize / I’m losing what I don’t deserve

      What I don’t deserve

    14. God bless us every one

      We’re a broken people living under loaded gun

      And it can’t be outfought

      It can’t be outdone

      It can’t be outmatched

      It can’t be outrun

      No

       

      And when I close my eyes tonight

      To symphonies of blinding light

      (God bless us every one / we’re a broken people living under loaded gun)

      Oh / like memories in cold decay

      Transmissions echoing away

      Far from the world of you and I

      Where oceans bleed into the sky

       

      God save us every one

      Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns

      For the sins of our hand

      The sins of our tongue

      The sins of our father

      The sins of our young

      No

       

      And when I close my eyes tonight

      To symphonies of blinding light

      (God save us every one / will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns)

      Oh / like memories in cold decay

      Transmissions echoing away

      Far from the world of you and I

      Where oceans bleed into the sky

       

      Lift me up

      Let me go

    15. When you feel you’re alone

      Cut off from this cruel world

      Your instincts telling you to run

      Listen to your heart

      Those angel voices

      They’ll sing to you / they’ll be your guide back home

       

      When life leaves us blind

      Love keeps us kind

      It keeps us kind

       

      When you’ve suffered enough

      And your spirit is breaking

      You’re growing desperate from the fight

      Remember you’re loved and you always will be

      This melody will bring you right back home

       

      When life leaves us blind

      Love keeps us kind

      When life leaves us blind

      Love keeps us kind

      It keeps us kind

    1. (instrumental intro)

    2. wake in a sweat again

      another day’s been laid to waste

      in my disgrace

      stuck in my head again

      feels like i'll never leave this place

      there's no escape

      i'm my own worst enemy

       

      i've given up

      i'm sick of living

      is there nothing you can say

      take this all away

      i'm suffocating

      tell me what the fuck is wrong with me

       

      i don't know what to take

      thought i was focused but i'm scared

      i'm not prepared

      i hyperventilate

      looking for help somehow somewhere

      and you don't care

       

      put me out of my misery

    3. i dreamed i was missing

      you were so scared

      but no one would listen

      cause no one else cared

      after my dreaming

      i woke with this fear

      what am i leaving

      when i'm done here

      so if you're asking me i want you to know

       

      when my time comes

      forget the wrong that i've done

      help me leave behind some

      reasons to be missed

      don't resent me

      and when you're feeling empty

      keep me in your memory

      leave out all the rest

      leave out all the rest

       

      don't be afraid

      i've taken my beating

      i've shared what i made

      i'm strong on the surface

      not all the way through

      i've never been perfect

      but neither have you

      so if you're asking me i want you to know

       

      forgetting / all the hurt inside you learned to hide so well

      pretending / someone else can come and save me from myself

      i can't be who you are

    4. here we go for the hundredth time

      hand grenade pins in every line

      throw 'em up and let something shine

      going out of my fuckin mind

      filthy mouth / no excuse

      find a new place to hang this noose

      string me up from atop these roofs

      knot it tight so i won't get loose

      truth is / you can stop and stare

      bled myself out and no one cares

      dug the trench out / laid down there

      with a shovel up out of reach somewhere

      yeah / someone pour it in

      make it a dirt dance floor again

      say your prayers and stomp it out

      when they bring that chorus in

       

      i bleed it out

      digging deeper just to throw it away

      just to throw it away

      i bleed it out

       

      i bleed it out / go / stop the show

      choppy words and a sloppy flow

      shotgun opera / lock and load

      cock it back and then watch it go

      mama help me / i've been cursed

      death is rolling in every verse

      candy paint on his brand new hearse

      can't contain him / he knows he works

      fuck this hurts / i won't lie / doesn't matter how hard i try

      half the words don't mean a thing and i know i won't be satisfied

      so why try ignoring him

      make it a dirt dance floor again

      say your prayers and stomp it out

      when they bring that chorus in

       

      i open up these scars

      i'll make you face this

      i pull myself apart

      i'll make you face this

      i open up these scars

      i'll make you face this now

    5. i close both locks below the window

      i close both blinds and turn away

      sometimes solutions aren't so simple

      sometimes goodbye's the only way

       

      and the sun will set for you

      the sun will set for you

      and the shadow of the day

      will embrace the world in grey

      and the sun will set for you

       

      in cards and flowers on your window

      your friends all plead for you to stay

      sometimes beginnings aren't so simple

      sometimes goodbye's the only way

       

      and the shadow after day

      will embrace the world in grey

      and the sun will set for you

    6. in this farewell

      there's no blood

      there's no alibi

      cause i've drawn regret

      from the truth

      of a thousand lies

       

      so let mercy come

      and wash away

       

      what i've done

      i'll face myself

      to cross out what i've become

      erase myself

      and let go of what i've done

       

      put to rest

      what you thought of me

      while i've cleaned this slate

      with the hands

      of uncertainty

       

      for what i've done

      i start again

      and whatever pain may come

      today this ends

      i'm forgiving what i've done

    7. turn my

      mic up louder i got to say something

      lightweights step it aside when we come in

      feel it in your chest / the syllables get pumping

      people on the street they panic and start running

      words on loose leaf sheet complete coming

      i jump in my mind and summon the rhyme i'm dumping

      healing the blind i promise to let the sun in

      sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and

      jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping

      fuck that / i wanna see some fists pumping

      risk something / take back what's yours

      say something that you know they might attack you for

      cause i'm sick of being treated like i have before

      like it's stupid standing for what i'm standing for

      like this war's really just a different brand of war

      like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor

      like they understand you in the back of the jet / when you

      can't put gas in your tank / and these fuckers are

      laughing their way to the bank / cashing the check

      asking you to have compassion / have respect

      for a leader so nervous in an obvious way

      stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

      and the rest of the world watching at the end of the day

      in their living room laughing like

      what did he say

       

      in my living room watching / i am not laughing / cause

      when it gets tense i know what might happen

      the world is cold / the bold men make action

      have to react or get blown into fractions

      ten years old / it's something to see / another

      kid my age drug under a jeep

      taken and bound / and found later under a tree

      i wonder if he had thought the next one could be me

      do you see / the soldiers / they're out today they

      brush the dust from bulletproof vests away

      it's ironic / at times like this you pray

      but a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday

      there's bombs on the busses / bikes / roads

      inside your market / your shops / your clothes / my dad

      he's got a lot of fear i know

      but enough pride inside not to let that show

      my brother had a book he would hold with pride

      a little red cover with a broken spine

      on the back / he hand wrote a quote inside:

      "when the rich wage war it’s the poor who die"

      and meanwhile / the leader just talks away

      stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

      the rest of the world watching at the end of the day

      both scared and angry like

      what did he say

       

      with hands held high into a sky so blue

      as the ocean opens up to swallow you

    8. are you lost / in your lies

      do you tell yourself i don't realize

      your campaign's a disguise

      replaced freedom with fear / you trade money for lives

      i'm aware of what you've done

       

      no / no more sorrow

      i've paid for your mistakes

      your / time is borrowed

      your time has come to be replaced

       

      i see pain / i see need

      i see liars and thieves abuse power with greed

      i had hope / i believed

      but i'm beginning to think that i've been deceived

      you will pay for what you've done

       

      thieves and hypocrites

       

      no / no more sorrow

      i've paid for your mistakes

      your / time is borrowed

      your time has come to be replaced

      your time has come to be erased

    9. my insides all turned to ash / so slow

      and blew away as i collapsed / so cold

      a black wind took them away / from sight

      and held the darkness over day / that night

       

      and the clouds above move closer

      looking so dissatisfied

      but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

       

      i used to be my own protection / but not now

      cause my path had lost direction / somehow

      a black wind took you away / from sight

      and held the darkness over day / that night

       

      and the clouds above move closer

      looking so dissatisfied

      and the ground below grew colder

      as they put you down inside

      but the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

       

      so now you're gone

      and i was wrong

      i never knew what it was like

      to be alone

       

      on a valentine's day

    10. let me apologize to begin with

      let me apologize for what i'm about to say

      but trying to be genuine

      was harder than it seemed

      and somehow i got caught up in between

       

      let me apologize to begin with

      let me apologize for what i'm about to say

      but trying to be someone else

      was harder than it seemed

      and somehow i got caught up in between

       

      between my pride and my promise

      between my lies and how the truth gets in the way

      the things i want to say to you

      get lost before they come

      the only thing that's worse than one is none

       

      let me apologize to begin with

      let me apologize for what i'm about to say

      but trying to regain your trust

      was harder than it seemed

      and somehow i got caught up in between

       

      and i cannot explain to you

      in anything i say or do or plan

      fear is not afraid of you

      but guilt's a language you can understand

      i cannot explain to you

      in anything i say or do

      but hope the actions speak the words they can

       

      for my pride and my promise

      for my lies and how the truth gets in the way

      the things i want to say to you

      get lost before they come

      the only thing that's worse than one is none

    11. telling me to go

      but hands beg me to stay

      your lips say that you love

      your eyes say that you hate

       

      there's truth in your lies

      doubt in your faith

      what you build you lay to waste

      there's truth in your lies

      doubt in your faith

      all i've got's what you didn't take

       

      so i / i wont be the one

      be the one to leave this

      in pieces

      and you / you will be alone

      alone with all your secrets

      your regrets

      don't lie

       

      you promise me the sky

      then toss me like a stone

      you wrap me in your arms

      and chill me to the bone

       

      there's truth in your lies

      and doubt in your faith

      what you build you lay to waste

      there's truth in your lies

      and doubt in your faith

      all i've got's what you didn't take

       

      so i / i wont be the one

      be the one to leave this

      in pieces

      and you / you will be alone

      alone with all your secrets

      your regrets

      don't lie

    12. water grey

      through the windows

      up the stairs

      chilling rain

      like an ocean

      everywhere

       

      don't want to reach for me do you

      i mean nothing to you

      the little things give you away

      and now there will be no mistaking

      the levies are breaking

       

      all you've ever wanted

      was someone to truly look up to you

      and six feet / underwater

      i do

       

      hope decays

      generations disappear

      washed away

      as a nation simply stares

       

      all you've ever wanted

      was someone to truly look up to you

      and six feet / underwater

      i do

      all you've ever wanted

      was someone to truly look up to you

      and six feet / underground now

      i do

    2. 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

       

      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

       

      with no apologies

    3. when this began

      i had nothing to say 

      and i’d get lost in the nothingness inside of me

      i was confused

      and i let it all out to find /that i’m

      not the only person with these things in mind

      inside of me

      but all the vacancy the words revealed

      is the only real thing that i’ve got left to feel

      nothing to lose

      just stuck/hollow and alone

      and the fault is my own

      and the fault is my own

       

      i want to heal

      i want to feel

      what i thought was never real

      i want to let go of the pain i’ve held so long

      [erase all the pain ’til it’s gone]

      it’s gone]

      i want to heal

      i want to 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 can’t justify the

      way everyone is looking at me

      nothing to lose

      nothing to gain/hollow and alone

      and the fault is my own

      the fault is my own

       

      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 ’til i break away from me

      and i will break away

      i’ll find myself today

       

      i want to heal

      i want to feel like i’m

      somewhere i belong

    4. 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

      i can 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 will 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

       

      [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

      ’cause 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 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 i’m

      [trying to bend the truth]

      but the more i push

      the more i'm pulling away

      ’cause i’m

       

      lying my way from you

       

      this isn’t what i wanted to be

      i never thought that what i said

      would have you running from me

      like this

       

      the very worst part of you

      the very worst part of you

      is me

    5. there are just too many

      times that people

      have 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 when 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’ve said about me

      when i’m not around

      you think having the upper hand

      means you’ve got to keep putting me down

      but i’ve had too many stand-offs with you

      it’s about as much as i can stand

      just wait until the upper hand

      is mine

       

      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 like you’ve crossed the line

      what goes up will surely fall

      and i’m counting down the time

      ’cause i've had so many stand-offs 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

      the next you’re not

      watch it drop

      making your heart stop

      just before you hit the floor

      one minute you’re on top

      the next you’re not

      missed your shot

      making your heart stop

      you think you won

       

      and then 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

    6. 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

       

      something has been taken

      from deep inside of me

      a 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

       

      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 would never be a past

       

      just washing it aside

      all of the helplessness inside

      pretending i don't feel misplaced

      is so much simpler than 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

    7. i am

      little bit of loneliness

      a little bit of disregard

      a handful of complaints

      but i can’t help the fact

      that everyone 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’re all i got

       

      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 am

      what you never want to 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 i 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

       

      no

      hear me out now

      you're gonna listen to me

      like it or not

      right now

    8. nothing ever stops all these thoughts

      and the pain attached to them

      sometimes i wonder why this is happening

      it’s like nothing i can do will distract me when

      i think of how i shot myself in the back again

      ’cause from the infinite words i could say /i

      put all the 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

       

      [it never goes away]

       

      hearing your name/the memories come back again

      i remember when it started happening

      i’d see you in 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 them/and every day i

      regret saying those things/’cause now i see /that i

      took what i hated and made it a part of me

       

      [it 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

      i’ve given up a part of me

      I’ve let myself become you

       

      get away from

      me

      gimme my space back/you gotta just

      go

      everything comes down to memories of

      you

      i’ve kept it in but now i’m letting you

      know

      i’ve let you go

      GET AWAY FROM ME

       

      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. memories consume

      like opening the wound

      i’m picking me apart again

      you all assume

      i’m safe here in my room

      [unless i try to start again]

       

      i don’t want to be the one

      the battles always choose

      ’cause 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 the habit

      tonight

       

      clutching my cure

      i tightly lock the door

      i try to catch my breath again

      i hurt much more

      than anytime before

      i had no options left again

       

      i’ll paint it on the walls

      ’cause i’m the one at fault

      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 the habit

      breaking the habit

      tonight

    10. don’t know who to trust

      no surprise

      everyone feels so far away from me

      heavy 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

       

      i take everything from the inside

      and throw it all away

      ’cause 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

      heavy thoughts forcing their way

      out of me

       

      i won’t trust myself with you

      i won’t waste myself on you

      waste myself on you

      you

    11. peep the style and the kids checking for it

      the number one question is how could you ignore it

      we drop right back in the cut

      over basement tracks

      with raps that got you backing this up like

      [rewind that]

      we’re just rolling with the rhythm

      rise from the ashes of stylistic division

      with these non-stop lyrics of life living

      not to be forgotten

      but still unforgiven

      but in the meantime there are those who wanna

      talk this and that/so i suppose

      it gets to a that point feelings gotta get hurt

      and get dirty with the people spreading the dirt

      [it goes]

       

      try to give you warning

      but everyone ignores me

      [told you everything loud and clear]

      but nobody’s listening

      call 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

      handful of anger/held in my chest

      and everything left is 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

      you 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

       

      i got a

      heart full of pain/head full of stress

      handful of anger/held in my chest

      uphill struggle/blood, sweat and tears

      nothing to gain/everything to fear

       

      [coming at you]

    12. INSTRUMENTAL

    13. 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

       

      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

       

      but i know

      i may end up failing too

      but i know

      you were just like me

      with someone disappointed in you

    1. 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 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 beneath my skin

       

      I know I’ve got a face in me

      Points out all my 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

       

      The sun goes down

      I feel the light betray me

    2. 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

       

      Shut up when I’m talking to you

    3. 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

      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

      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

       

      No

      No matter how far we’ve come

      I can’t wait to see tomorrow

      With you

    4. 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 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

       

      Chorus:

      You like to think you’re never wrong

      You want to act like you’re someone

      You want someone to hurt like you

      You want to share what you’ve been through

      (You live what you learn)

    5. Crawling in my skin

      Consuming all I feel

      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

       

      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...

    6. Graffiti decorations

      Underneath a sky of dust

      A constant wave of tension

      On top of broken trust

      The lessons that you taught me

      I learned 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]

       

      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

       

      I wanna run away

      Never say good-bye

      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

       

      Gonna run away

    7. 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

       

      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]

       

      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

    8. 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

      And lose it all

      But in the end

      It doesn’t even matter

       

      One thing/I don’t know why

      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 put my trust in you

      Pushed as far as I can go

      And for all this

      There’s only one thing you should know…

    9. 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 life to the moon assuming

      The moon’s gonna owe it one

      It makes me think of how you act to me/you do

      Favors and then rapidly/you just

      Turn around and start asking me/about

      Things that 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

       

      You try to take the best of me

      Go away

    10. 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 tightly shut/looking through 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 it’s dark again

       

      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 past the

      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

       

      Now you got me caught in the act

      You bring the thought back

      I’m telling you that

      I see it right through you

    11. Instrumental

       

    12. 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

       

      I’ve tried/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
