Lyrics Project

[Skipees]

Hey, we need a little help here, we are working on a few small updates for the site, the first one is to collect the correct lyrics for each song or version. Currently we are doing it for the main LP releases (+ the Mall soundtrack) and if it'll work well we'll do it for the old bands and side projects.
I've splitted all the lyrics to four parts: Hybrid Theory, Reanimation/Meteora, Minutes To Midnight/A Thousand Suns and Living Things/The Hunting Party. Each package contains the albums and the other releases from the same era, for example the Mall soundtrack can be found in THP package.

What we need from you is to download one of the packages, post here what you've dowloaded so people will download the rest, and test if the lyrics are correct.
Two or three members for each package will be enough so we need about 10 people who wants to help, one member can do more than a package of course. Take the time to do it, it's not urgent and it's better be well done than hurry.

Just to be clear, correct lyrics are the ones that are actually sung by the band members, not the ones that printed on the booklets or the band's official site.

If someone has already posted a set of corrected lyrics, do not post them again. Instead, discuss the lyrics that were already corrected in the first post. If you have corrections to THOSE, post them as a reply.

Thanks in advance.

LIVING THINGS

LOST IN THE ECHO

Yeah

Yo

 

You were that / foundation

Never gonna be another one no

I followed / so taken

So conditioned I could never let go

Then sorrow / then sickness

Then the shock when you flip it on me

So hollow / so vicious

So afraid I couldn't let myself see (Oh)

That I could never be held

Back or up no / I hold myself

Check the rep / yep you know mine well

Forget the rest / let them know my hell (Oh)

There and back / yet my soul ain't sell

Kept respect up / the best they fell

Let the rest be the tale they tell

That I was there saying

In these promises broken / deep below

Each word gets lost in the echo

So one last lie / I can see through

This time I finally let you

Go [x3]

Test my will / test my heart

Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up

Ya'll go hard / I go smart

How's that working out for y'all in the back, huh?

I've seen that frustration

Been crossed and lost and told no

And I've come back / unshaken

Let down and lived and let go (Oh)

So you can let it be known

I don't hold back I hold my own

I can't be mapped / I can't be cloned

I can't C-flat / it ain't my tone (Oh)

I can't fall back I came too far

Hold myself up and love my scars

Let the bells ring wherever they are

'Cause I was there saying. . .

In these promises broken / deep below

Each word gets lost in the echo

So one last lie / I can see through

This time I finally

LET YOU GO

NO / YOU CAN TELL 'EM ALL NOW

I DON'T BACK UP / I DON'T BACK DOWN

I DON'T FOLD UP AND I DON'T BOW

I DON'T ROLL OVER / DON'T KNOW HOW

I DON'T CARE WHERE THE ENEMIES ARE

CAN'T BE STOPPED / ALL I KNOW / GO HARD

WON'T FORGET HOW I GOT THIS FAR

FOR EVERY TIME SAYING

In these promises broken / deep below

Each word gets lost in the echo

So one last lie / I can see through

This time I finally let you

GO (go) [x7]

 

 

 

IN MY REMAINS

Separate

Sifting through the wreckage I can't concentrate

Searching for a message in the fear and pain

Broken down and waiting for a chance to feel alive

Now in my remains

Are promises that never came

Set this silence free

To wash away the worst of me

Come apart

Falling in the cracks of every broken heart

Digging through the wreckage of your disregard

Sinking down and waiting for a chance to feel alive

Now in my remains

Are promises that never came

Set this silence free

To wash away the worst of me

Like an army

Falling

One by one by one [x4]

Now in my remains (One by one [x2])

Are promises that never came (One by one by one)

Set this silence free (One by one [x2])

To wash away the worst of me (One by one by one)

Like an army (One by one)

Falling (One by one)

One by one by one [x2]

 

 

 

BURN IT DOWN

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

The cycle repeated

As explosions broke in the sky

All that I needed

Was the one thing I couldn't find

And you were there at the turn

Waiting to let me know

We're building it up

To break it back down

We're building it up

To burn it down

We can't wait

To burn it to the ground

The colors conflicted

As the flames climbed into the clouds

I wanted to fix this

But couldn't stop from tearing it down

And you were caught at the turn

Caught in the burning glow

And I was there at the turn

Waiting to let you know

You told me yes / You held me high

And I believed when you told that lie

I played that soldier / You played king

And struck me down when I kissed that ring

You lost that right / to hold that crown

I built you up but you let me down

So when you fall / I'll take my turn

And fan the flames as your blazes burn

And you were there at the turn

Waiting to let me know

We're building it up

To break it back down

We're building it up

To burn it down

We can't wait

To burn it to the ground

When you fall / I'll take my turn

And fan the flames as your blazes burn

We can't wait

To burn it to the ground [x2]

 

LIES GREED MISERY

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

I'mma be that nail in your coffin

Saying that I softened

I was ducking down to reload

So you can save your petty explanations

I don't have the patience

Before you even say it I know

You let your pride or your ego

Talk slick to me, no

That is not the way I get down

And look at how you lose your composure

Now let me show ya

Exactly how the breaking point sounds

I WANT TO SEE YOU CHOKE ON YOUR LIES

SWALLOW UP YOUR GREED

SUFFER ALL ALONE IN YOUR MISERY

What is it you want me to tell ya

I'm not the failure

I would rather live and let be

But you came with the right kind of threat to

Push me to let you

Know you can't intimidate me

You disrespect me so clearly

Now you better hear me

That is not the way it goes down

You did it to yourself and it's over

Now let me show ya

Exactly how the breaking point sounds

I WANT TO SEE YOU CHOKE ON YOUR LIES

SWALLOW UP YOUR GREED

SUFFER ALL ALONE IN YOUR MISERY [x2]

You did it to yourself [x4]

YOU DID IT TO YOURSELF [x4]

I WANT TO SEE YOU CHOKE ON YOUR LIES

SWALLOW UP YOUR GREED

SUFFER ALL ALONE IN YOUR MISERY

 

 

 

I'LL BE GONE

Like shining oil this night is dripping down

Stars are slipping down

Glistening

And I'm trying not to think what I'm leaving now

No deceiving now

It's time you let me know

Let me know

When the lights go out and we open our eyes

Out there in the silence I'll be gone

I'll be gone

Let the sun fade out and another one rise

Climbing through tomorrow I'll be gone

I'll be gone

This air between us is getting thinner now

Into winter now

Bittersweet

And 'cross that horizon this sun is setting down

You're forgetting now

It's time you let me go

Let me go

When the lights go out and we open our eyes

Out there in the silence I'll be gone

I'll be gone

Let the sun fade out and another one rise

Climbing through tomorrow I'll be gone

I'll be gone

And tell them I couldn't help myself

And tell them I was alone

Oh / tell me I am the only one

And there's nothing that can stop me

When the lights go out and we open our eyes

Out there in the silence I'll be gone

I'll be gone

Let the sun fade out and another one rise

Climbing through tomorrow I'll be gone

I'll be gone

I'll be gone

 

 

 

CASTLE OF GLASS

Take me down to the river bend

Take me down to the fighting end

Wash the poison from off my skin

Show me how to be whole again

Fly me up on a silver wing

Past the black where the sirens sing

Warm me up in a nova's glow

And drop me down to the dream below

'Cause I'm only a crack

In this castle of glass

Hardly anything there for you to see

For you to see

Bring me home in a blinding dream

Through the secrets that I have seen

Wash the sorrow from off my skin

And show me how to be whole again

'Cause I'm only a crack

In this castle of glass

Hardly anything there for you to see

For you to see

'Cause I'm only a crack

In this castle of glass

Hardly anything else I need to be

Time has come for you

They're acting like they want a riot / it's a riot I'll give 'em

As the siren climbs higher on this violent rhythm

For you snakes in the grass / supplying the venom

I ain't scared of your teeth / I admire what's in 'em

You been waiting in the shadows there, thinking you're hidden

But the truth is you don't have the stomach to get 'em

Go on already, hit 'em / yeah you gotta be kidding

Wanna talk about a victim / I'mma put you there with 'em

Weep not for roads untraveled

It's the worst kind of pain I've known

Give up your heart left broken

And let that mistake pass on

'Cause the love that you lost

Wasn't worth what it cost

And in time you'll be glad it's gone

Woah [x4]

Weep not for roads untraveled

Weep not for sights unseen

May your love never end

And if you need a friend

There's a seat here alongside me

UNTIL IT BREAKS

It goes a 1, 2, 3

I was born with the hunger of a lion / the strength of a sun

I don't need to sweat it when a competition come

Original style like an 808 drum

So I don't run the track, no / I make the track run

My mama taught me words / my daddy built rockets

I put 'em both together now tell me what I got

It's a pretty smart weapon / I can shoot it, I can drop it

But learn to respect it 'cause you clearly can't stop it

Like that

It ain't over 'cause the

Shark's on the left side / the snake's on the right

And anything you do they wanna get a little bite

It really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right

'Cause once they get their teeth in / nothing really fights

And as for me, I do it like I got nothing to lose

And you can run your mouth like you can try to fill my shoes, but

Steady little soldier, I ain't standing next to you

I'd be laying on the ground before you're even in my view

Like that

Give me the strength of the rising sun

Give me the truth of the words unsung

And when the last bells ring

The poor men sing

Bring me to kingdom come

It's something for ya people on the block to

Black out and rock to

Give you what you need like papa, who shot ya

Separate the weak from the obsolete

The meek / I creep hard on impostors

And switch styles on a dime / quick-witted -

Ya'll, quit trippin' I don't have time for your crying

I grind tough / sucker, make your mind up

Are you in the firing squad or are you in the lineup?

Bang bang little monkey man

Playing with the big guns only get you slain, I ain't playing

I'm just saying / you ain't got a sliver of a chance

I get iller, I deliver while you quiver in your pants

So shake shake down / money, here's the breakdown

You can play the bank I'mma play the bank takedown

And no mistakes now / coming to get ya

I'm just a Banksy / you're a Brainwash

Get the picture

Like that

We swim against the rising waves

And crash against the shore

The body bends until it breaks

The early morning sings no more

So rest your head it's time to sleep

And dream of what's in store

The body bends until it breaks

And sings again no more

'Cause time has torn the flesh away

The early morning sings no more

You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind

And you held it all

You held it all

And I was by your side

Powerless

I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end

I'm left with emptiness that words can not defend

You'll never know what I became because of you

Ten thousand promises

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

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

What kind of land is this

When a man has plans of being rich

But the bosses' plans are 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 smokescreen before the flame

Knowin' 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 you know 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 [x7]

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

You're guilty all the same

Too sick to be ashamed

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

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

When 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

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

When the future slips away

And your hope turns into fear

And your hope turns into fear

In the wastelands of today

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

When the future slips away

And your hope turns into fear

And your hope turns into fear

Until It's Gone

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 (Oh, woah, oh)

Until it's gone (Oh, woah, oh)

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

Means 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

Oh, woah, oh

Until it's gone

Oh, woah, oh

'Til it's gone

Until it's gone [x3]

'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

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

Defined 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

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

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

Suddenly tomorrow's / 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

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

The light on the horizon

Was brighter yesterday

With shadows floating over

The scars begin to fade

We said it was forever

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 you've

Pay for what you've 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

Another day / your truth will come

You're gonna pay for you've

Pay for what you've 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

And so today / your truth has come

You're gonna pay for what you've

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

Give me

GIVE ME BACK WHAT'S MINE

Venom on their tongues

Justice doesn't have the strength to hold

The higher that they climb

The harder they will fall

And we will break their bones until they fold

Untitled (In The End demo)

It starts with one / and multiplies 'til you can taste the sun

And burnt by the sky you tried to take it from

But, if it falls, there's no place to run

Crumbling down / it's so unreal

They're dealing you in to determine your end

And sending you back again to places you've been

And bending your will / 'til it breaks you within

And, still, they fill their eyes

With the twilight through the skylight

And the highlights on a frame of steam

See the brightness of your likeness

As I write this on a pad with the way I feel

Hear the screaming in my dreaming

As it's seeming that you played your part

Like you're heartless, take apart this

In the darkness / but I know that I've 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

I look down the line / and what's there is not what ought to be

Held back by the battles they fought for me

Calling me to be part of their property

And, now, I see that I get no chance

I get no break / fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes

And, as the tightrope within / slowly starts to thin

I can only hope that they close their eyes

To the twilight through the skylight

And the highlights on a frame of steel

See the brightness of your likeness

As I write this on a pad to the way I feel

Hear the screaming in my dreaming

As it's seeming that you played your part

Like you're heartless, take apart this

In the darkness / but I know that I've 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

I put my trust / in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this / there's only one thing

You should know

I put my trust / in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this / there's only one thing

You should know

I put my trust / in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this / there's only one thing

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 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 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 -

Shut up…what! **I have a heard time hearing what Chester screams at this part, but I always thought it was "Stay... A-... way..."

I am so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

On APFMH, at least live, he screams "Take away!" Don't know if that's what he actually screams on the studio version, though.

Nah, you don't know me

Lightning above and a fire below me

You cannot catch me, cannot hold me

You cannot stop much less control me

When it rains, it pours

When the floodgates open, brace your shores

That pressure don't care when it breaks your door

Say it's all you can take, better take some more

'Cause I know what it's like to test fate (Oh, oh)

Had my shoulders pressed with that weight

Stood up strong in spite of that hate

The night gets darkest right before dawn (Oh, oh)

Make your bed, you lie in that bed

A king can only reign 'till instead

There comes that day it's off with his head

You'll have my mercy then when you're gone

No regret for the confidence betrayed

No more hiding in shadow

Time has come for you

VICTIMIZED

I'LL BE GONE (Vice Remix; ft. Pusha T.)

  Reveal hidden contents

Like shining oil this night is dripping down

Stars are slipping down

Glistening

And I'm trying not to think what I'm leaving now

No deceiving now

It's time you let me go

Let me go

I'll be gone

I'll be gone

King Push

Dope game keep callin'

Dope boys keep fallin'

Askin' me, what's my legacy?

I just wanna die ballin'

I just wanna die pourin'

I just wanna ride foreign

I just wanna bring hoes together:

"Lonnie, Lisa, meet Lauren"

(Wooo!) Then I'll be gone, keep 'em movin' what I be on

Damn right I know what time it is

Take full leap and a turn be on (in here!)

I'm stylin' on 'em, I'm swervin' on 'em

I know it's wrong, but life's a bitch, she turn me on (Oww!)

Yeah

And to each his own

Hating ain't something that we condone,

Cause the way I flip when the beat come on

I'll make you pump that shit 'til the speakers blown

Ya'll wanna cop a plea, who you gonna talk to if not to me?

Because if the chain of command worked properly

You gotta earn a few stripes before you can talk to me

Word to Pusha, word to Vice, built the track once and killed it twice

Built the stage up and killed the lights, opening act was like fuck my life

Ya'll can love it, ain't nothing wrong, forget the hating that ya'll be on

Enjoy it now because after long, Keyser Soze, I'll be gone

I'll be gone

I'll be gone

When the lights go out and we open our eyes

Out there in the silence I'll be gone

I'll be gone

Let the sun fade out and another one rise

Climbing through tomorrow I'll be gone

I'll be gone

When the lights go out and we open our eyes

Out there in the silence I'll be gone

I'll be gone

I'll be gone

I'll be gone

Robotic Voice: Drop the bassline

I'll be gone

I'll be gone

I'll be gone

I'mma be that nail in your coffin

Saying that I softened

I was ducking down to reload

So you can save your petty explanations

I don't have the patience

Before you even say it I know

You let your pride or your ego

Talk slick to me, no

That is not the way I get down

And look at how you lose your composure

Now let me show ya

Exactly how the breaking point sounds

I WANT TO SEE YOU

Exactly how the breaking point sounds

That is not the way I get down

That is not the way it goes down [x4]

 

 

 

ROADS UNTRAVELED (Rad Omen Remix; ft. Bun B.)

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Weep not for roads untraveled

Weep not for paths left alone

Cause beyond every bend is a long blinding end

It's the worst kind of pain I've known

Give up your heart left broken

And let that mistake pass on

Cause the love that you lost wasn't worth what it cost

And in time, you'll be glad it's gone

Whoa [x13]

Woah [x4]

Woah [x2]

Well, it's our life and it's our time

And it's our place and it's our choice

These are all our thoughts with our views

Out of our minds with our voice

It's our oath to this generation,

They call it fake, we call it fate

(You see) they don't like us or understand us

And they just hope we all fall away

But we won't stop, and we won't quit

And we won't settle for what they give

And we'll keep on standin'

Keep on fightin' no backin' down, that's how we're livin'

Our minds are made up

And we're focused no more believin' what we've been told

'Cause our bags are packed, there's no turnin' back

We walk alone on these winding roads

Weep not for roads untraveled

Weep not for sights unseen

May your love never end and if you need a friend

There's a seat here alongside me

Whoa [x13]

Woah [x4]

Woah [x2]

May your love never end and if you need a friend

There's a seat here alongside me

SKIN TO BONE (Nick Catchdubs Remix)

This is that post apoc, post pac ghost on the block

Supposed to be close but I swear right now they close to be not

Put the gold in the pot

Put 'em on, bring 'em on, nigga, hope that they drop

But I bomb on them all

On with they the bongs

Instead be hopin' I pop

You open a knot

You openly admittin' you not

Your openly be spittin' shit, you don't be givin' a lot

You are be givers givin' these women a reason to start

I'm Michael Tyson, Bison reliving the villainous plot

My vision of rock

My vision is Kai Killer Korat Vespa

Feel us, so who real or realest enough

I'm callin' your bluff

I'll squander all your borders you trust

You won't be carrying your orders; automatically dust

I'm more than adequately rushed

Plus grammatically tough

Trust the elephant tusk, trunk hangs over the top, punk

Who want it?

I'm guaranteed to get it and flaunt it

I'm playin' Buckley as my intro as I exit the gauntlet

Skin to bone / steel to rust

Ash to ashes / dust to dust

Let tomorrow have its way

With the promises we made

Skin to bone / steel to rust

You can't stop it

All you can do is watch it while it's happenin' like a tragic accident

Rappers go and get your coffins

Skin to bone

The Hiram Abiff of this rap shit

My legacy's set in stone, for show, no asterisk

Concept: immaculate

Start to finish

I'm Lil' Wayne's dentist

Look at the platinum plaques I'm getting (WOOOO!)

It's not an accident, you flew off the roof

You said you was fly, so I just wanted to see if it's true

I got the juice like GQ, but I wish it was Grey Goose

Let it mix with my prescriptions and I'm turning into Keith Moon

A T2 Terminator: Demi-God Jesus

Fort Minor: We Major; let's take it to phase II

The mission isn't finished yet

I've been on the Internet

Hearin' fans talking, maybe we should consider it

Ah

Skin to bone and steel to rust

Ah

Skin to bone and steel to rust

I'm on some taxidermy rap shit/talk about some raw game

You're nothin but a trophy mounted on my door frame

I spit that propane, light you with a slow flame

And watch you burn until there's nothin' but a gold chain

Yeah you'll be some crispy critters

You'll wish you with us

You'll wish what we did, you did it

You can't, you kiddin? I don't have a shoe you fit in

You're as soft as a motherfuckin' newborn kitten

I'm an animal, tearing flesh into bone

Randomly rippin' everything gone

Unless they forget what, then let it be known

I'll bury every competitor, every predator

Anyone ever forget it, you'll regret it forever

Never been nothing short of a legend, you peasants will learn

I'll stay standin' in the front like I'm forgetting my turn

For these matchstick rappers, this is meeting adjourned

I ain't even gotta match em', I'm just letting them burn

I'm / I'm / I'm just letting them burn

Into winter now

Bittersweet

And 'cross that horizon this sun is setting down

You're forgetting now

It's time you let me go

Let me go

When the lights go out and we open our eyes

Out there in the silence I'll be gone

Let the sun fade out and another one rise

Climbing through tomorrow I'll be gone

And tell them I couldn't help myself

And tell them I was alone

Oh / tell me I am the only one

And there's nothing that can stop me

UNTIL IT BREAKS (Money Marks Remix)

It goes a 1, 2, 3

I was born with the hunger of a lion / the strength of a sun

I don't need to sweat it when a competition come

Original style like an 808 drum

So I don't run the track, no / I make the track run

My mama taught me words / my daddy built rockets

I put 'em both together now tell me what I got

It's a pretty smart weapon / I can shoot it, I can drop it

But learn to respect it 'cause you clearly can't stop it

Like that

It ain't over 'cause the

Shark's on the left side / the snake's on the right

And anything you do they wanna get a little bite

It really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right

'Cause once they get their teeth in / nothing really fights

And as for me, I do it like I got nothing to lose

And you can run your mouth like you can try to fill my shoes, but

Steady little soldier, I ain't standing next to you

I'd be laying on the ground before you're even in my view

Like that

Give me the strength of the rising sun

Give me the truth of the words unsung

And when the last bells ring

The poor men sing

Bring me to kingdom come

It's something for ya people on the block to

Black out and rock to

Give you what you need like papa, who shot ya

Separate the weak from the obsolete

The meek / I creep hard on impostors

And switch styles on a dime / quick-witted -

Ya'll, quit trippin' I don't have time for your crying

I grind tough / sucker, make your mind up

Are you in the firing squad or are you in the lineup?

Bang bang little monkey man

Playing with the big guns only get you slain, I ain't playing

I'm just saying / you ain't got a sliver of a chance

I get iller, I deliver while you quiver in your pants

So shake shake down / money, here's the breakdown

You can play the bank I'mma play the bank takedown

And no mistakes now / coming to get ya

I'm just a Banksy / you're a Brainwash

Get the picture

Like that

We swim against the rising waves

And crash against the shore

The body bends until it breaks

The early morning sings no more

So rest your head it's time to sleep

And dream of what's in store

The body bends until it breaks

And sings again no more

'Cause time has torn the flesh away

The early morning sings no more

 

 

 

A LIGHT THAT NEVER COMES (Rick Rubin Reboot)

  Reveal hidden contents

Nah, you don't know me

Lightning above and a fire below me

You cannot catch me, cannot hold me

You cannot stop much less control me

When it rains, it pours

When the floodgates open, brace your shores

That pressure don't care when it breaks your door

Say it's all you can take, better take some more

'Cause I know what it's like to test fate (Oh, oh)

Had my shoulders pressed with that weight

Stood up strong in spite of that hate

The night gets darkest right before dawn (Oh, oh)

What don't kill you makes you more strong

And I been waiting for it so long

The nights go on

Waiting for a light that never comes

I chase the sun

Waiting for the light that never comes

Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh

Waiting for a light that never comes

When I was young, they told me, they said

Make your bed, you lie in that bed

A king can only reign 'till instead

There comes that day it's off with his head

The night gets darkest right before dawn (Oh, oh)

What don't kill you makes you more strong

You'll have my mercy then when you're gone

The nights go on

Waiting for a light that never comes

I chase the sun

Waiting for the light that never comes

Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh

Waiting for the light that never comes

The nights go on

Waiting for a light that never comes

I chase the sun

Waiting for the light that never comes

Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, oh

Waiting for the light that never comes

The nights go on

Waiting for a light that never comes (Take some more)

I chase the sun

Waiting for the light that never comes

On APFMH, at least live, he screams "Take away!" Don't know if that's what he actually screams on the studio version, though.

 

Before Mike raps the last verse (I'm so sick of tension...) Chester screams what seems like three words ("Shut up, why?", maybe). In live version he screams only two (Probably the "Take away!) and then shouts a "AAAAAH" that leads to Mike's final verse.

But I really don't know for sure what he scream actually.

 

The linkinpark.com says that is "Shut up….what!", as iPodwithnomusic said before. Makes sense, as he screams "Go away from me" after that... I guess

He screams "TAKE! A! WAY!" live.

[RogueSoul]

I'm pretty sure it's "SHUT! UP! WHAT!"

 

We're not counting live performances as a factor (yet), but if it helps you hear something then go ahead.

[lpliveusername]

Soul, your lyrics for Ammosick are wrong. They are different from The Last Line.

Here's the second verse of Ammosick:

This is the second line here
This is the second line again
Why does it feel like fear?
As if the last line
The last line will slowly close again

[RogueSoul]

Thanks, fixed!

Rhinestone

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top, I stop
At the core of the rotten
Stopping just what I thought
But the sun has escaped us
So, I'm fighting the sky
And I'm far from awakeness
Thinking "why did I try?"

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top, I stop
At the core of the rotten
Stopping just what I thought
But the sun has escaped us
So, I'm fighting the sky
And I'm far from awakeness
Thinking "why did I try?"

From the thread to the needle, middle-to-end
When skies cock back and shock that which couldn'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 itself upon the world of pretend
Then the eyes ease open and it's dark again

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top, I stop
At the core of the rotten
Stopping just what I thought
But the sun has escaped us
So, I'm fighting the sky
And I'm far from awakeness
Thinking "why did I try?"

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top, I stop
At the core of the rotten
Stopping just what I thought
But the sun has escaped us
So, I'm fighting the sky
And I'm far from awakeness
Thinking "why did I 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 the wheels go 'round, the sunset creeps
Past the street lamps, cars, chainlinks and concrete
A window then grows and captures the eye
And cries out yellow light as it passes it by
A small black figure sits in front of a box
Inside a box of 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 then insides grow but the box stays the same
A shame - shovel up the pieces of the pain
You could try to hide yourself in the world of pretend
But 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 of the rotten
Stopping just what I thought
But the sun has escaped us
So, I'm fighting the sky
And I'm far from awakeness
Thinking "why did I try?"

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top, I stop
At the core of the rotten
Stopping just what I thought
But the sun has escaped us
So, I'm fighting the sky
And I'm far from awakeness
Thinking "why did I try?"

 

In a minute, you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me

Yeah, I got you caught in the act
You better step back
Telling me that I'm seeing right through you

Yeah, I got you caught in the act

Reading My Eyes

The microphone molester / machete undresser
“Stupid-dope-fresh” type shit resurrector
Top gun / miramar / best of the best-er
The leave-an-MC-peace-in-rest-er
Skill tester / the flex-the-gunner
The make-funner / the adversary make runner
Make summer cold with rhymes i spit
Kick gift to lifted delinquent wit
I be the prophet / my hand–top it? stop it.
Fly like rocket when I rock it
Lock it down with this perverse verse
Every fuckin curse a burst of hurt
Move crowds: physical fitness rhymes
Coke heads couldn't do my lines
I'm decorated like Christmas pines
My battalion rocks
MCs become silhouettes of chalk

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
Contact the track control
You coming at me? You can't hack it though
So ridiculous
Watching my crew get sick of this
Wickedness
Pitchin' this
Lyrical viciousness to crews and cliques
Made of men and mistresses
This is my life
The twilight in the fight night
And trying to see nothing but the highlights
When I write
These eyes on horizons
Die for my song
Cry rhymes in krylon
Fire on / move men telekenetically
Esoterically beat-speaking with clarity
Feel my verity / heroism of heresy
And sever every MC I see with severity

Reading my eyes will say it in many ways
Losing my pride will save it in many days

 

Why not

What I came

Why not

What I came
Why not

What I came
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

 

Why?

Reading my eyes will say it in many ways
Losing my pride will save it in many days

 

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—spiraling to its end, at which there is a little surprise.

From the planet of Krypton
Insuring suit emcees you'll be ripped on
You fell off, and it's my lyric sheet you slipped on
Get gone, spit on mics made in Hong Kong
Rock on, sing songs, we're mightier than King Kong
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 emcee like a cheap prophylactic
Galactic, spaced-out gab that grabs attention
Got heads nodding like a Pez Candy convention
Ride on patch traps, gas tracks, and sections
Kid says this, he'll need witness protection

Trying to see what I can't be seeing
I'll be here
Trying to see what I can't be seeing
I'll be here

Yo, dig this
Yo, it's the junkyard, crooked letter-C-I-EN-tific
Duck us, the ruckus I'll bring stings your eardrum
Hear one, la-la-let loose, find me fearsome
Opposing troops on my home front shall be gone
Testing the eight hundred-eighteenth battalion
Shall I go on? Crews run like rebels
Enola Gay rhymes kick the notch up a level in intensity
Send back attacks that you sent to me
Blow up your spot with grenades that were meant for me
Empty three verses on 33 emcees
Swiss cheese your gear, putting shrapnel in the breeze
We're lead emcees with enemy companies
With my hand full of lyrics, talking ‘bout, you want these?
Please, don't even speak the name of channels and go low-gadget mic shit
Put it down like pens for my friends and my fam
Better dodge, or I'll ram this mic straight through the back of an emcee's head
With the strength of He-Man, I'll bet you don't want that
Close-bodies filled fields in hand-to-hand combat
Battle cats, it's like the sectional speech
Warfare words flashing at cordicy
Compete for an edge, lyrical shots get lit
Don't question my intention when your butt gets kicked

Trying to see what I can't be seeing
I'll be here
(Time for metallic, syllaballic attacks)
Trying to see what I can't be seeing
I'll be here
(Pawned emcees with these lyrical back smacks)

Go ahead
Suit yourself

Why wait?
I shouldn't have told you so

Why wait?

I shouldn't have told you so

Why wait?

I shouldn't have told you so

Why wait?

I shouldn't have told you so

Stick N Move

This is how it's done, going for the title and crown
Renowned emcees surround as the beat breaks down
In 2 elements, collaborating with those that bring the best
And it's the M-I-C the way it ought to be finessed, yes
Yes, am I the one to keep you on your toes?
Most definitely in my b-boy pose
It's the Electric Boogaloo with a slight twist:
Touch your chin to your chest to the rhythm like this

Now I see what I have, I want you
Be with me or stick n' move
Now I see what I had, I want you
Be with me or stick n' move

Emcees dogging me since the first day I grabbed the mic
Now it's like Sit! Stay!
Cobra Kai flystyles I'm kicking
Sticking emcees real quick 'cause times ticking
At the drop of the defense, I let loose a venom
Sending a shot of verbal heat up in them
The ending is done, 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 Forrest you'll run, turn your eyeballs into Saturn
Full Metal Jacket, fully auto-rhyme pattern

 

Now I see what I have, I want you
Be with me or stick n' move
Now I see what I had, I want you
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

 

Now I see what I have, I want you
Be with me or stick n' move
Now I see what I had, I want you

Be with me or stick n' move

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

 

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 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)
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 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)
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

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
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)
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

I want to heal
I want to feel like
I'm somewhere I belong

 

Somewhere I belong

 

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
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
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

 

(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

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 / 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
The very worst part of you
Is me

 

Hit The Floor

There are just too many
Times that people
Have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you
When 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
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

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
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
And then it'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
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
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
Now it's all gone

 

Easier To Run

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
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 would never be a past

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 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

It's easier to run
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I've 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

Faint

I am
A 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 that 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

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 that 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

Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right now

 

I can't feel

The way I did before

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

Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me

I won't be ignored

 

Figure .09

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

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
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'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

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
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you

 

It never goes away

It never goes away

It never goes away

It never goes away

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

So, 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

 

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

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

 

Breaking The Habit

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
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 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 the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

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
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

 

From The Inside

I 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

(Oh)
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
‘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

 

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

(Oh)
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
‘Cause 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
‘Cause I swear/ for the last time

I won't trust myself with you

Everything from the inside

And just throw it all away
‘Cause I swear/ for the last time

I won't trust myself with you

 

You

You

 

Nobody's Listening

Come / Come / Come / Come

Comin' at you

Come / At you

Come / Comin' at you

 

Yo

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

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
Handful 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
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

 

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
Handful of anger / Held in my chest
Uphill struggle / Blood, sweat and tears
Nothing to gain / Everything to fear

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

Heart full of pain

(Heart full of pain)

(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
Handful of anger / Held in my chest

Nobody's listening
Uphill struggle / Blood sweat and tears

Nobody's listening
Nothing to gain / Everything to fear

Nobody's listening

 

 

Come

Come / Come / Come / Come

Comin' at you

Come / Comin' / Comin' / Comin' / Comin' at you

Come / Comin' / Come / Come / Comin' at you

Come / Come / Comin'

(Coming at you from every side)

 

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

But 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

(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

 

Faint Demo

Back, before I said goodbye
Just as the first day turned to night
Just as the concrete turned to dust
And the steel turned into rust
All I could think was a new way to dig through the damage
Couldn't think of a way to get through this
Now I see you taking advantage
And I found another reason to do this
I'm digging us a hole to travel through
I wanna find a way to rattle you
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit
You're gonna have to follow me under it
Let go, its begun
Close your eyes, I'm not done
Breath the word, Waste your breath
And keep it up 'til there's nothing left

Now that I said goodbye
Just as the darkness turned to light
Just as the next light turns to day
And the world gets under way
All I can see is the answer to the patient waiting to take this out on the wind of the raindrops
And I waited patiently taking it in
Ready for the first of the face-offs
I'm digging us a hole to travel through
I wanna find a way to rattle you
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit
You're gonna have to follow me under it
Let go, its begun
Close your eyes, I'm not done
Breath the word, Waste your breath
And keep it up 'til there's nothing left

I'm digging us a hole to travel through
I wanna find a way to rattle you
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit
You're gonna have to follow me under it

I'm digging us a hole to travel through
I wanna find a way to rattle you
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit
You're gonna have to follow me under it
I'm digging us a hole to travel through
I wanna find a way to rattle you
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit
You're gonna have to follow me under it
Let go, its begun
Close your eyes, I'm not done
Breath the word, Waste your breath
And keep it up 'til there's nothing left

 

No!

 

Figure .09 Demo

All these things I could not say,
Made me so much more afraid.
Just too scared of what I'd find,
to look behind, to look behind.

All these things I could not say,
made me so much more afraid.
Just too scared of what I'd find,
to look behind, to look behind.

If you go, there's no turning back.
If you go, there's no turning back.
If you go, there's no turning back.
there's no turning back!

No, no, no, no, no, no...
NOOOOO!
NO TURNING BACK!
NOOOOO!
NO TURNING BACK!
NOOOOO!
NO TURNING BACK!
NOOOOO!
NO TURNING BACK!

All these things I could not say,
made me so much more afraid.
Just too scared of what I'd find,
to look behind.

All of these things I could not say,
made me so much more afraid.
Just too scared of what I'd find,
to look behind, CAN'T LOOK BEHIND!

 

Breaking The Habit Demo

Down on the floor
Back behind the door
I try to catch my breath again
I can't ignore
What's back behind the door
Wondering what's next again

I can say that you're the one
The battles always choose
But sometimes I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what we're fighting for
Or why we have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how we got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

Memories consume, pacing in the room
Cleaning broken glass again
Suddenly soon, you're leaving from the room
It's happening so fast again

I can say that you're the one
The battles always choose
But sometimes I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what we're fighting for
Or why we have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how we got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

Crashing into walls
It never was your fault
So here we are again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what we're fighting for
Or why we have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how we got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

 

Nobody's Listening (Green Lantern Remix)

Let's go! Yeah! Green Lantern
Mike Shinoda
Aiyo, Green, tell 'em what the name of the mixtape is. Ha-ha!
("Fort Minor: We Major") Let's go!

Yeah, peep the style and the kids checkin' for it
The number one question is "How could you ignore it?"
We drop right back in the cut
The Evil Genius track and Mike's raps got you backin' this up
Like rewind that, just rollin with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylistic division
With these non-stop, lyrics of life livin
Not to be forgotten but still unforgivin
But in the meantime there are those
who wanna talk this and that, so I suppose
Gets to a point, feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreadin the dirt
It's like...

Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
I told you niggas nine or ten times to stop fuckin' with me
But nobody's listening
Called to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me
I told you niggas nine or ten times to stop fuckin' with me
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's a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else's more
I'm ridin' on the back of this pressure
Guessin' that it's better I can't keep myself together
'Cause all of this stress gave me somethin to write on
Pain gave me somethin I could set my sights on
You never forget the blood, sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years, the fear and
Trash talkin' and the people it was to
What up to the Militia and the LPU, ha ha

Handful of anger held in our chest (nobody's listening)
Uphill struggle, blood, sweat and tears (nobody's listening)
Y'all watch your back, Machine Shop is here!

Fort Minor: We Major

C'mon homie we major; we MAJOR?!
C'mon homie we major; we major
C'mon homie we major; we major, c'mon

Let's go!

 

Standing In The Middle

I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it, middle of it

Yo, y'all better wake up; you think we don't see y'all drifting?
Sleeping on the job and forgetting your position? (position)
Sit straight and listen; what you are missing
I cook up a batch, hot straight out the kitchen
No indecision, I spit right
Heavy as a fist fight
No gloves and no masks
No pain and no slack
No way to look back
Nobody to say I can't make my own path
Cause the way that y'all act, I wanna break something
Comin' at me like the pain I feel means nothing
Comin' from a place where you can't relate
Where every word from your face comes across as fake
And I can hardly take the way that y'all treat us
Sending this out to anyone who won't believe us
Spelling it out so y'all know the deal
And if you can't feel it, maybe you can't feel

I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you saying?
I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writing?
I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?

(Tell ‘em, Motion)
Eat your words
Say what you used to say and act how you used to act
Every time you heard my occupation was a rap attack (rap attack)
My conversation's stacked, I switch my defense on you
Every time you want to get deep you'll see my knuckle package
Born to die, ferocious emcee make you go back and write your rhymes
My style chokes up like a little league baseball player
It moves, I'm strangling as I'm swinging as main mangler
I wanna dee-four, poach you as your seafood is cee-four
I'm gonna rap and you still knee-high
Y'all wanna train with me, guy?
Man, it's destructive
Man, it's like jabs from boxing champ Lennox
Perfect for your head, I'll fit it like New Era hats
That top off suits, B-boy etiquette
Express myself with my hang-side
Then I extend one finger, the middle fucking

 

I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you saying?
I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writing?
I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?

Yo, Motion (Yeah?)
Sometimes I feel it's like nothing that I ever do is ever good enough (For real?)
Like I should stop and go back to L.A.
Back away where I know I won't be seen
And nobody's gonna critique the music that I make
And mistake me for some fucking kid with a backpack
Rapping on a track just to make a buck
For a mix-tape that sucks
And dee-jays that don't get it
But I been down that road and I know
People don't wanna go where I might go
Don't wanna know what it's like
To step outside your zone with a mic
Just controlling the hype
And if we need to take shots from them
And be stopped by them just to make these ends
Then so be it, I will not hold my breath
I'm gonna spit ‘til I got none left
Motion, where you at?

 

I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?
I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you saying?
I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writing?
I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Man, who are you?

I'm standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it

 

If someone could take a look at Nobody's Listening when they get a chance and help me in figuring out how to transcribe the scratched/effected vocal samples, that'd be really nice and helpful.

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 feeling
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 no one cares
I'm my own worst enemy

I've given up

I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away

I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me

God!
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my
Put me out of my fucking misery

I've given up

I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away

I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me

Leave Out All The Rest

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
And 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

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And 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

Forgetting / All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending / Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory

Forgetting / All the hurt inside you've learned to hide so well
Pretending / Someone else can come and save me from myself
I can't be who you are
I can't be who you are

 

 

Bleed It Out (album)

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Yeah / Here we go for the hundredth time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my fucking 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
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away

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 rollin' 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 bleed it out digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out

I've opened up these scars
I'll make you face this
I've pulled myself so far
I'll make you face this now

I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away

Just to throw it away

I bleed it out

Digging deeper just to throw it away

Shadow Of The Day

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

Ah ah ah

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

And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And 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

 

 

What I've Done

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 clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty
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

For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving 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

Hands Held High (album)

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 / And cashing their check
Asking you to have compassion / And have some 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 the living room laughing like

What did he say

Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

In my living room watching it / I am not laughing / Cause
When it gets tense I know what might happen
World is cold / The bold men take action
Have to react or get blown into fractions
Ten years old / It's something to see / Another
Kid my age drugged 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 buses / 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"
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

Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

With hands held high into a sky so blue

Amen
As the ocean opens up to swallow you

Amen

With hands held high into a sky so blue

As the ocean opens up to swallow you

My insides all turn 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 has 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
On a valentine's day
On a valentine's day
On a valentine's day

 

On a valentine's day
I used to be my own protection

On a valentine's day

But not now

On a valentine's day

Because my mind has lost direction

On a valentine's day

I used to be my own protection

On a valentine's day

In Between

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

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
The only thing that's worse than one is none

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

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
The only thing that's worse than one is none
The only thing that's worse than one is none

The Little Things Give You Away

Water gray

Through the windows

Up the stairs
Chilling rain

Like an ocean

Everywhere

Don't wanna reach for me do you
I mean nothing to you

The little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees 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

Don't wanna reach for me do you
I mean nothing to you

The little things give you away
But now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted (All you wanted)
Was someone to truly look up to you (Uh uh)
And six feet / Underwater (Six feet underwater)

I do (I do)

All you've ever wanted (All you wanted)
Was someone to truly look up to you (Uh uh)
And six feet underground now I (Six feet underground now I)
Now I do (Now I do)

No Roads Left

Standing alone with no direction
How did I fall so far behind
Why am I searching for perfection
Knowing it's something I won't find

In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because

I run / 'til the silence splits me open
I run / 'til It puts me underground
'Til I have no breath

And no roads left but one

When did I lose my sense of purpose
Can I regain what's lost inside
Why do I feel like I deserve this
Why does my pain look like my pride

Oh oh

But there's no regret

And no roads left to run

Your lies

Augh

 

Yeah

I didn't think that I had a debt to pay
'Til they came to take what I had left away
You said you wouldn't put me to the test today
But I remember you saying that yesterday
There was a time when your mind wasn't out of control
Every memory a confession pouring out of your soul
Like a pill you couldn't swallow so it swallowed you whole
Another lie hard to follow til it followed you home
And like that

Broken down
A victim of your
Lies / You hide behind
Lies / You don't know
Why / You crossed the line
Wrapped up inside your
Lies / You hide behind
Lies / You're lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies

I don't know what I thought I might say
Seems like we never were taught the right way
Every other minute I fought for my place
And dropped what I made and thought you might stay so
I'm guessing that you probably know
When your inside's hollow then you ought to be cold
Like a pill I couldn't swallow, when it swallowed me whole
Another lie hard to follow, it followed me home

The microphone molester / machete undresser
“Stupid-dope-fresh” type shit resurrector
Top gun / miramar / best of the best-er
The leave-an-MC-peace-in-rest-er
Skill tester / the flex-the-gunner
The make-funner / the adversary make runner
Make summer cold with rhymes i spit
Kick gift to lifted delinquent wit
I be the prophet / my rhyme-top it? stop it
Fly like rocket when I rock it
Lock it down with this perverse verse
Every fuckin curse a burst of hurt
Move crowds: physical fitness rhymes
Coke heads couldn't do my lines
I'm decorated like Christmas pines
My battalion rocks
MCs become silhouettes of chalk

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
Contact the track control
You coming at me? You can't hack it though
So ridiculous
Watching my crew get sick of this
Wickedness
Pitchin' this
Lyrical viciousness to crews and cliques
Made of men and mistresses
This is my life
The twilight in the fight night
And trying to see nothing but the highlights
When I write
These eyes on horizons
Die for my song
Cry rhymes in krylon
Fire on / move men telekenetically
Esoterically beat-speaking with clarity
Feel my verity / heroism of heresy
And sever every MC I see with severity

Reading my eyes will say it in many ways
Losing my pride will save it in many days

 

Why not

Why not give me what I came to deserve
Why not give me what I came to believe

In this desert / In darkness
Lying with the gun across his chest
Pretending / He's heartless
As the fire flashes in the sky
He was fragile / And frozen
When the bullet took away his friend
But now he's somehow / More broken

He's pulling his weapon to his side
Loading it full of his goodbyes
Holding an enemy across the line
He's pulling his weapon to his side
Loading it full of his goodbyes
Holding an enemy across the line

Sweating / And shaking
Lying with her hands across her chest
She wakes with / Her cravings
As the fire flashes in her eye
She was fragile / And frozen
When the needle took away her friend
But now she's somehow / More broken

She's pulling her weapon to her side
Loading it full of her goodbyes
Holding an enemy across the line
She's pulling her weapon to her side
Loading it full of her goodbyes
Holding an enemy across the line

With every battle he's choosing
With every fight he's losing
His enemy is not far behind
With every promise she's broken
With every lie she's spoken
Her enemy is not far behind

What We Don’t Know

If everything would just stop
Then maybe I could collect my thoughts
If everything would stand still
I could've hidden how lost I feel
I should've said what I hear
I should've let myself fear
I should've made myself clear

So this is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
And when we find we've lost our mark
We fake what we don't know

I never asked to let go
I never thought I could sink so low
I never let myself down
Until the second I did right now
I should've said what I hear
I should've let myself fear
I should've made myself clear

So this is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
And when we find we've lost our mark
We fake what we don't know
This is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
Cause when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know

Cause all we are is everything we've done
All we are is how quickly we run
And all we are
We are

This is how we fall apart
But this is how beginnings start
Cause when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know
And if our doubt begins again
The answers find us in the end
So in the meantime we'll pretend
And fake what we don't know

This is how we fall apart
But this is how beginnings start
Cause when our heads betray our hearts

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 clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty
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

For what I've done
I'll start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving 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

Don't start with the ugly part

Don't end with the things that will make them want to walk away
Tune in at the din again

Another price ain't cheap but somebody's gonna have to pay
Oh yes, you can only guess

What it is, what it was, don't remember what I had in mind
Shotgunning on a joy ride, coming down the block, half-cocked nearly half the time

Give it back

Give it back

Give it back

Give it back / Sing it

One time for the words divine

And two times for the things that you hope you never have to say
Three scenes in a dead man's dream

And the girls tell the boys that they better fucking run away
Live it up, or g-g-give it up

Turn it up, tune it out, let it rhyme with the other line
Shotgunning on a joy ride, coming down the block, half-cocked nearly all the time

Give it back

Give it back

Give it back

Give it back / Sing it

Listen
My blood feels like it's sitting still in my veins
My motivation was gone before it even came
Today and yesterday, they both seem the same
And no matter how I try I just can't change
Give me one reason I should go outside
Everything will be the same no matter what I try
Some people will live and some people will die
Some people will build their whole life on a lie
I used to blame you for the things that I thought you'd say
So now I can't blame you for going away
Cause these memories are the blood beating under my skin
Repeating the same thoughts again and again

Again and again
(You said we couldn't last long enough or be strong enough)
Again and again
(You said our voices weren't loud enough but we've had enough because)
We want our future back
We want our own mistakes
To take our own path

But I know that I live to be hurdled when I'm so victorious
Take a look I'm a symbol of greatness now call it Morpheus
As force accumulated the wind and but a believe I'm so notorious
You know I've been buying my bread even though we rapping now (yes)
And now when you look on my trip and you a nigga higher level tramping now
And you see that everyone on my middle struggers and
For your ass is never been an option
A nigga paper long like we was on the trap and the hood choppin
Get it!

Together we made it (You see we did it, niggas!)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (C'mon!)
Forever we waited *Ha-ha!*
And they told us we were never going to get it
But we took it on the road (Through the riches)

On the road (Ride with me) *yeah, yeah*
On the road (You come and get it) *yeah, yeah*
On the road *yeah, yeah, yeah, yo!*

When it all got started we were steadily just getting rejected
And it seemed like nothing we could do would ever get us respected
At best we were stressed at the worst they probably said we're pathetic
Had all the pieces to that puzzle just no way to connect it
I was fighting through every rhyme tightening up every line
Never resting to question if I was out of my mind
It finally came time to do it or let it die
So put the chips on the table and told 'em to let it ride
Sing it! Yeah!

Look in case you misunderstanded exactly what I'm building
Is shit that I could live for my children's (children's) children's (children)
Now I only wake up a smile to see how far I've come
Fighting for sales on a strip to get hustle from
From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son
To count money like Dre, and Jimmy or Russell Ones (Yeah, nigga!)
But now I live when I dream you see me finally getting it
Let's make a toast to the hustle regardless how we get it

Had all the pieces to that puzzle just no way to connect it
I was fighting through every rhyme tightening up every line
Never resting to question if I was out of my mind
It finally came time to do it or let it die
So put the chips on the table and told 'em to let it ride
Sing it! Yeah!

Together we made it (You see we did it, did it)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (C'mon!)
Forever we waited *Ha-ha!*
And they told us we were never going to get it
But we took it on the road (Through the riches)
On the road (Through the ghetto)
On the road (And the projects to this bangin' instrumental)
On the road (Ride with me)
On the road (You come and get it)
On the road *yeah, yeah, yeah*

Look in case you misunderstand exactly what I'm building
Is things that I can leave for my children's (children's) children's (children)
Now I only wake up a smile to see how far I've come
Fighting for sales on a strip to get hustle from
From nights in jail on a bench using my muscles son
To count money like Dre, and Jimmy or Russell Ones
But now I live when I dream you see me finally did it
Let's make a toast to the hustle regardless how we get it
Sing it!

 

Oh, woah
Together we made it (You see we did it, did it)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (C'mon!)
Forever we waited *Ha-ha!*
And they told us we were never going to get it
But we took it on the road (Through the riches)
On the road (Through the ghetto)
On the road (And the projects to this bangin' instrumental)
On the road (Ride with me)
On the road (You come and get it) *yeah*
On the road / Oh *yeah, yeah, yeah*

 

 

Not Alone

I break down / Fear is sinking in
The cold comes / Racing through my skin
Searching for / A way to get to you
Through the storm / You

Go / Giving up your home
Go / Leaving all you've known
You are not alone

With arms up / Stretched into the sky
With eyes like / Echoes in the night
Hiding from / The hell that you've been through
Silent one / You

Go / Giving up your home
Go / Leaving all you've known
You / Go / Giving up your home
Go / Leaving all you've known
You are not alone

And you / Go / Giving up your home

You are not alone

You are not unknown

Oh oh oh

You are not alone

Robert J Oppenheimer: "We knew 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."

 

 

 

Burning In The Skies

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

Oh

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

Oh, woah, oh, oh

Oh

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

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

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

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

Or 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

Picking up the pieces now where to begin

The hardest part of ending is starting again

Mario Savio: "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"

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"

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

Got everything outta control

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

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

We just do what we do give you that fix

We come in the back like we run this bitch

Turn the lights down low / and we start the show

When I give it to ya / give it right back and it goes

Take that / take that / cutting off your fun

You're nothing but a butter knife stopping a gun

We can dance but your chances are slim to none

You can think that I'm finished / I have not begun

Follow me / I got styles / you can copy one

Back of your mind / I know you wanna stop me son

But here's news for you fucker: that can not be done

You can think that I'm finished / I have not begun

Think I'm finished / I'm not

Begun

No

 

 

 

New Divide

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me

I remembered each flash as time began to blur

Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me

And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between

Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide

There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned

There was nowhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow

And the ground caved in between where we were standing

And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes across this new divide

In every loss, in every lie, in every truth that you'd deny

And each regret and each goodbye was a mistake too great to hide

And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between

Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide

Across this new divide, across this new divide

 

 

 

Waiting For The End (Non-Rap Version)

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

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 (Oh, woah, oh)

I know how it feels to lie (Oh, woah, oh)

All I want to do is trade this life for something new (Oh, oh)

Holding on to what I haven't got (Oh)

Sitting in an empty room / Trying to forget the past

This was never meant to last

I wish it wasn't so

I know what it takes to move on (Oh, woah, oh)

I know how it feels to lie (Oh, woah, oh)

All I want to do is trade this life for something new (Oh, oh)

Holding on to what I haven't got (Oh)

Yeah, yeah

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 I'm

Picking up the pieces now where to begin

The hardest part of ending is starting again

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, woah

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

Holding on to what I haven't got (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, woah)

This is not the end, this is not the beginning

Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision

(I'm holding on to what I haven't got)

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

(Holding on to what I haven't got)

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

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

 

 

 

Wretches and Kings (GBC Remix; ft. Divine Styler)

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Hey, hey

Steel unload / final blow (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

We the animals take control (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Hear us now clear and true (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Wretches and king we come for you (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

To save face, how low can you go

Act like you heard but yet you don't know

I act like a murderer, Dexter with the flow

They underestimate me I'm killing them on the low

So get down, but you don't really have an option

Shouting at the top of your lungs please stop

In my Woodstock mix with some '88 Compton

Lucy in the Sky with a sawed off shotgun

Stop it, walking to a beat so cold

The rhythm that's created when these guns unload

And no-one make a move unless my people say so

Got everything outta-control now everybody go

Occupying, modifying every statement downtown

Gentrifying, simplifying military compounds (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Satellite nanobyte superchip in subhuman Manchurian (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

I'm so megatron!

Steel unload / final blow (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

We the animals / take control (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Hear us now / clear and true (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Wretches and kings we come for you (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Steel unload / fire blow (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Filthy animals / beat them low (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Skin and bone / black and blue (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

No more the sun shall beat onto you

Tell the people what the truth is

Standing in the booth, that's a soldier surrounded by his troops, bitch

I don't really know just what a truce is, but I never call one

Look into the crowd they control 'em like Stalin

Joseph, hopeless, so pissed, bottom of the soap dish

Scummy ass profit, prophet

Semi-automatic in my front coat pocket

Loaded, if anyone opposes I'll pop it

(Uh, yeah)

Now when we hit the blocks

Finna set them car alarms off, like you hear the cops

Everybody stop for a second, just watch

And if you hear them shout, drop (Get down)

Tweaking out your brainwaves

Glitches, rags, riches, snitches

Pipe dreams wishes, it might seem suspicious

Any mister or misses that try to go against us

Might get stitches or wiped out of existence

Steel unload / final blow (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

We the animals / take control (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Hear us now / clear and true (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Wretches and kings we come for you (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Steel unload / fire blow (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Filthy animals / beat them low (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Skin and bone / black and blue (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

No more the sun shall beat onto you

Overseas operate, in and out of the camera

Navigating states in post-race through Gamera

Bottom feeders and eaters, victimizing with heaters

With clever reasons for eating and better means for competing

Futurism contemporary, so very modern

Is a symbolism inputting memories into body prisms

Anarchist language, mind full of anguish

Internet's to slang this, a boom box to bang this

Boom-bye-bye in the motherfucker head

And we mind want heavy but the mind want dead

I spew propaganda through these prison camp speakers

I'm the grim reaper in a pair of Michael Jordan sneakers

Freedom fighter, c-cipher, killer, still as the night though

Ice cold blood in my veins, brain of a psycho

Manufactured with my soul fractured in half

Divided by my violent side so you add-up the math

I'm half Elohim, alpha omega, beggar and peasant

Half king, half ruler of the things that are wretched

I'm crawling out the wreckage, I call you out on my wreckage

I knock you out for each second for you miss out on the message

(Listen)

Steel unload / final blow (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

We the animals / take control (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Hear us now / clear and true (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Wretches and kings we come for you (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Steel unload / fire blow (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Filthy animals / beat them low (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

Skin and bone / black and blue (Hey, hey, hey, hey)

No more the sun shall beat onto you

Yo, yo
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 like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone (You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you (You want someone to hurt like you)
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 like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone (You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you (You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what you've been through
You live what you've learned

Yo, yo

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

Hey, yo
When this first started off
It was just Linkin Park
And then in the middle
Came Motion Man
And at the end of it all
It was Kutmasta Kurt with a remix

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 away
And I watched it count down to 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 a 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

Hey, yo
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, hah, I so-socialse
Like the host of the party
I spoke, shaked, and made eye-contact
Partied and toasted strong, all that
Northeast, Southwest coast
I'm staring out the window
No oppourtunity to mingle
I tried to sew it up to weaken your system
I had you throwing up
I brought you back into things
Like the imaginary man of your dreams
You'd always seem to make it worth it
I picked skin, I never nursed it
You felt like loving, never played real
I'm bringing the pleasure
By any means it means I'm leaving your team
Hell of a team, man it seems 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

Motion Man
Linkin Park
In the end
Kutmasta Kurt
Remix

One thing, I don't know how
It doesn't even matter when you look at it now
‘Cause when I designed this rhyme
I was scared of it all, scared to fall, and I hadn't even tried to crawl
But I was forced to run with you mocking me, stopping me, backstabbing
me constantly
Remembering all the times you fought with me
Watch the clock now chock-full of hipocrisy
But now your mouth wishes it could inhale
Every single little thing you said to make things fail
Every single word you sputtered just to get your piece
But it really doesn't matter to me
‘Cause 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 a 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

In the end

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

We're stuck in a place so dark
You can hardly see
The manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight and the powers that be
And 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?

In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Listen to the sound
Dizzy from the ups and downs
I'm nauseated by the polluted rot that's all around
Watching 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 a yellow light as it passes me by
And a young shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside a building of rock with anntenaes on top, now
Nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The sane 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 'em on paper so I could come back to them
Someday I'm hoping to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumpled up paper can be perfect again

Yo, 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

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
Causing urban collapse
And bullets that scar souls with dark holes
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 age and minimum wage
Living in a tenement cage for innocent pay
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspreads like a permenent 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

 

P5hng Me A*Wy

When I look into your eyes there's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me

Everything has to end
You'll soon find that we're out of time left to watch it all unwind
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left to watch in all unwind
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down

I've lied to you
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
Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind
The sake of being with you
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed when you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

Even the people who never frown eventually break down

I've tried, like you, to do everything you wanted to
This is the last time
That 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 stay when you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

Reverse psychology is failing miserably
It's so hard to be left all alone
Telling you is the only chance for me
There is 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
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stay when you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

Why I stay when you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head

I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
But the sun doesn't give the 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 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'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

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

 

(I want to)

(I want to)

(I want to)

Two, two, three, three
Yo, yo, yo
Give me Energon to keep me calm
You and your mom keep all the dram
Used to be a team, passed that baton
But you flop that bomb as you drop that bomb
Take it to the john in your babylon
Flushed down with the sound that you carry on
I don't really give a dang
You pissed on my lawn
Took a dump like a punk
Now the battle's on

So sick of you stressing
Sick of you fessing
Sick of you acting like I owe you some
Find another place to feed your face
If you don't, we gon' bump
Get it up here, crunk
So sick of you stressing
Sick of you fessing
Sick of you acting like I owe you some
Find another place to feed your face
If you don't, we gon' bump
Get it up here, crunk

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

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

You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me

(Go away) (x14)

You try to take the best of me, go away

You try to take the best of me

You try to take the best of me

You try to take the best of me

You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best
Go, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me (get away from me), go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away

You try to take the best of me
Get away from me

Forty-five calibre killer from out of the filler
Definitely going to show y'all brothers how you not a gorilla
Smooth talking, fully automatic weapon concealer
Taste thriller, break thriller
Let's hit ‘em with the bounce filler
Filthy stinking, standing on solid ground
And still be sinking, submerging in the parks
Still be linking, plucked beef when it starts
To fuck your thinking, it's not a mirage
I'm in the motherfucking track, yo, from out the garage
With an if, you to duck, but it's hard to dodge
In the back of the spine where my dawgs, they lie
Going to flip it straight up, ripping apart your squad
X-ecutioner style, cuts and blends like a syringe
Hanging you from each of your limbs
See me coming through the party hard without no bodyguard
Smoking something, stomping on each of you Tims
I'm the B-to-the-L, the A, the C, King
And when it comes to planning
The thought to keep thinking, man

Hybrid

Linkin Park
I've been digging in the crates ever since I was living 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 so I can start blessing it
Chin-checkin' kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic chords to double helixes to show them what I'm made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast a spell of instrumental-ness on 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 icon be bygones
I fire bombs, ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats, but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit 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
pages of wind, in cages a tin, that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings, over all the same-thing
Sing-songs karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stones tactics
Forth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention
Meant to put you away, with the pencil
Pistol, official, sixteen line rhyme missile
While you risk your all
I pick out at your flaws
Spitting raw 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
High voltage

Bringin' you up and takin' you down

Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

Who's the man, demandin' your hand over your land rover?
no mans bolder when he jams your plans over
I inflict sclerosis, the most ferocious
When I spy my third eye's extremely high voltage
That's why I need ruby-quartz glasses, cause when I glance
There's a chance, then I might blast the masses
Subliminals transmitted through piano
Integrated in flow, calculated in nano
I use skills when I need, please heed the rhyme
I heal when I bleed when I proceed through time
I walk through walls and the inanimate obstacles
By inducing the reduction of cells and molecules
I bring the knowledge you swallow a steak that's a hologram
I box your head, fatten your lip like collagen
The telepath deliver verses with no postage
Pharoah Monch, Mike Shinoda, we high voltage

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin' you up and takin' you down

Hey Mike, what's up?
This is Ron, just asking to see what's happenin'
Uh just touchin' base, see how your Easter went.
Umm, Just seein' if you gonna see Joe sometime soon too,
Cuz he's got my keyboard that I've been trying to get back.
I've been trying to call him, and he hasn't returned any messages.
So I'm seeing what's the best angle to, uh get it back.

 

Wth>You

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

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 that 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

(No)
I won't let you control my fate
While I'm holding the weight of the world on my conscience
(No)
I won't just sit here and wait
While you weighing your options
You're making a fool of me
(No)
You didn't dare to try to say that you don't care
And solemnly swear not to follow me there
(No)
It ain't like me to beg on my knees
Oh please, oh baby please
That's not how I'm doing things
(No)
No I'm not upset, no I'm not angry
I know love is love, love but sometimes it pains me
(No)
With or without you, I'll always be with you
You'll never forget me, I'm keeping you with me
(No)
I won't let you take me to the end of my rope
While you burn it and torture my soul
(No)
No I'm not your puppet
And no, no, no, I won't let you go

No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
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

 

Ppr:kut

Uh, yeah

Ah

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
Like a face that I hold inside
Face that awakes when I close my eyes
Face that I watch every time I lie
Face that laughs every time I fall
It 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 looking 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

Hey yo
Here we go again with the pain I feel
Is it real or in my mind
When I found myself in places
With names but not faces
My memory races at speeds
Hundred degrees, my soul bleed
Devil must've planted the seed
Now it feels like my back's against the wall
I'm taking the fall
Whenever I call nobody's responding at all
I don't know whom I can trust,
They're screaming my name
I need somebody to help me out of the frame

All I'm trying to do is just master me
All I'm tryin' to do is smoke and blast a beat
But something keeps on talking to me consciously,
Responsibly keeps haunting me
From dusk til dawn everything has something for ya
That voice has got you projecting paranoia
Cold sweat, shining on your face exposing your
purpose
And if I ripped off your skin I'd probably find a,
another person
There`s nothing 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

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 your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
It's like I'm paranoid

I feel the light betray me

(Can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin)
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)

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

Graffiti skies, skies…
I don't think ya'll ready
Yo, I don't think ya'll ready

Graffiti decorations under a sky of gray
This constant apprehension still giving me away
The lessons I've forgotten
In spite of all I've learned
Now I find myself in question
(Point, point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(Point, point the finger at me again)

I wanna runaway
(I wanna runaway)
I wanna know the truth
(I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers
(I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door
(And open up my mind)
And open up my mind
(And open up my mind)

Paper bags and angry voices under a sky of gray
This constant apprehension won't seem to go away
All my talk of starting over
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(Point, point the finger at me again)
I'm guilty by association
(Point, point the finger at me again)

I wanna runaway
(I wanna runaway)
I wanna know the truth
(I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers
(I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door
(And open up my mind)
And open up my mind
(And open up my mind)

Gonna runaway, gonna runaway
Gonna runaway, gonna runaway
Runaway {being scratched over and over again}
(Ya'll not ready)

Hey yo I don't think ya'll ready for what I'm about to do
Y'all new school dudes ain't even got no clue
How dare you forget about Bam and Zulu
Two urban jazz DJ's they paved the way
Let me spit it to y'all who said I wasn't gonna make it
Every time I blaze it, ya'll the first to hate it
My team reins supreme and stays strong
Every 2 series son, they scared to put us on
Can't get with the high prince, get off your high atis
Too many of y'all is dyin' for us so I gotta blaze it
I'm still reppin' BK, Brooklyn D and on
Hell fire and family alienation
Banging hits in the backyard
Out on the episode
I'm a little kid named
Phoenix Orion

I wanna runaway
(I wanna runaway)
I wanna know the truth
(I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers
(I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door
(And open up my mind)
And open up my mind
(And open up my mind)

This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear

 

(Give it all away)

(Give it all away)

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 that 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 that 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

Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

Myself…
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 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 look around
(It's too much to take in)
I can't hold on
(When I'm stretched so thin)
I can't slow down
(Watching everything spin)
I can't look back
(It's 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'd like to introduce…
In your, in your, in your… (echo fade)
In your sound institute of invention of reliable audio weapon system
Let's, let's try, let's try (scratched)
Let's try something else
Folks, we have a very special guest for you tonight, tonight, tonight… (echo fade)
Break it down (Cut it up!)
Using the waves of sound
A true master paralyzes his opponent, leaving him vulnerable to attack…Mr.

Break…
I'm about to break!
I need room to breathe… (x3)

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words, they make no sense
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 (x5)
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!
Break!

These are the places where I can't feel
Torn from my body, my flesh it heals
During this ride we can cut up what we like
Waiting alone I can not resist
Feeling this hate I have never missed
Please someone give me a reason to rip off my face

Blood is a pouring and pouring and pouring…

Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up! (blood is pouring)
Shut up! (blood is pouring)
Shut up! (blood is pouring)
Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up! (blood is pouring)
Shut up! (blood is pouring)
Shut up! (blood is pouring)
Shut up! I'm about to break!

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…

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…

Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of 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

Crawling in my skin
(Crawling in my skin)
These wounds they will not heal
(These wounds won't heal)
Fear is how I fall
(Fear is how I will fall)
Confusing, confusing what is real
(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 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

Without a sense of confidence…
Without a sense of confidence…

Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that there's
Just too much pressure to take
Without a sense of confidence…
Without a sense of confidence…

Without a sense of confidence
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

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?

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 / acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes shut / looking thought the rust and rot
And dust / a spot of dirty, yellow 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's 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's there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care?

From the top to the bottom

You know what I mean
You could put a label on a life
Put a label on a lifestyle

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes…

You know
Put a label on how you wake up every morning
And go to bed at night

Hybrid
I've been digging in the crates ever since I was living in space
Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology, big bang theology, performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I can start blessing it
Chin-checkin' kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic chords in double helixes to show them what I'm made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast a spell of instrumental-ness on 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 icon be bygones
I fire bombs, ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats, but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit 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 right with road rage
pages of wind, in cages a tin, that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings, over all the same-thing
Sing-songs karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stones 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, sixteen line rhyme missile
While you risk your all
I pick out at your flaws
Spitting raw 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
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound

Bringin you up and takin you down
High voltage
Comin 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 acting like, you know
'Wow, that's a new invention'
That shit ain't new
It's constantly evolving
We're constantly changing

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes…

There's a lot of change
Everybody's always up with the labels
There ain't no label for this shit
They're always going to try
To put a label on it
To 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

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin you up and takin you down

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
Like a face that I hold inside
Face that awakes when I close my eyes
Face that I watch every time I lie
Face that laughs every time I fall
It 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 looking 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
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 I close my eyes
A face that watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
It watches everything
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right underneath my skin

It's like I'm paranoid looking 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 the skin
It's like I'm paranoid looking 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 your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your 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 looking 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 the skin
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within

This whole project is, like, fun
Did that sound good?
That's right

 

It's Goin' Down

Watch them flee
Watch them flee
Watch them flee
Hip hop hits
And you do like this

It's going down
It's going down
It's going down
It's going down
It's going down
It's going down
It's going down

It's going down
The rhythm projects round my next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detect the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting pot of a super futuresque style
The combination of a vocal caress
With lungs that gasp for breath
From emotional stress
And special effects
In a distorted collage
Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage

It's going down
The logical progression on 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
The logical progression on 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 it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree
It's going down
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate
It's going down
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree
It's going down
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate

It's going down
Put it up
And it goes like this
And you do it like this

It's 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 as we blend
The sword with the pen
The mightiest of the weapons
Swinging right for the chin
To elevate mental states
Long gone with the wind
To defend men from shoddy imitation pretends
It's going down
Style assimilation readily
Trekking through the weaponry
Of a pure pedigree
Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me
Whatever the weather be
We advancing steadily
It's going down sub-terrestrial high
A rhyme regiment is 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 it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree
It's going down
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate
It's going down
Put it out for the world to see
LP and X-Men to the 10th degree
It's going down
Nobody in the world is safe
When we melt down the wax in your record crate

X-Men bout to blast off world wide

The rhythm projects round my next sound
Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now
Detect the mesh of many elements compressed down
The melting pot of a super futuresque style
The combination of a vocal caress
With lungs that gasp for breath
From emotional stress
And special effects
In a distorted collage
Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage

The separation narrowed down to a fine line

Swinging right for the chin
To elevate mental states
Long gone with the wind
To defend men from shoddy imitation pretends
It's going down
Style assimilation readily
Trekking through the weaponry
Of a pure pedigree
Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me
Whatever the weather be
We advancing steadily
It's going down sub-terrestrial high
A rhyme regiment is calling the shots
Execution of collaborative plots
Ready to bring the separation of style to a stop

Collision Course

 

Dirt Off Your Shoulder/Lying From You

I ordered a frappuccino.
Where's my fucking frappuccino?

Ha ha ha
Alright, let's do this.

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't forget about the criminal I am,
Stealin' 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..

If you feelin' like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off,
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off,
Niggas 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 law, nigga, grippin' my balls,
All 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 pops,
Nigga 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, nigga, cause I'm straight with the Roc.

If you feelin' like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off,
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off,
Niggas 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 homie 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 out, 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.

Yeah, I remember what they taught to me,
Remember condescending talk of who I outta be,
Remember listenin' 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,
But, the more I push, the more I'm pullin' away,
‘Cause 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),
Lemme 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 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 runnin' from me,
Like this (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 (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),
Lemme 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.

Biatch!

 

Big Pimpin'/Papercut

Hahaha
You're wasting your talent, Randy

It's like I'm paranoid, looking 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…

Why does it look 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 that watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
It 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, looking 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 fucking need ‘em
Take ‘em out the ‘hood, keep ‘em lookin' good
But I don't fucking feed ‘em
First time they fuss I'm breezing, talking about: What's the reason?
I'm a pimp in every sense of the word bitch
Better trust and believe him
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 gonna 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
RI-I-I-I-I-IDE, yeah

We doin'… big pimpin', we spendin' G's
Check ‘em out now
Big pimpin', on B.L.A.D.'s
We doin'… big pimpin' up in N.Y.C.
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and B-U-N B
Yo yo yo.. big pimpin', spendin' G's
We doin'… big pimpin', on B.L.A.D.'s
We doin'… big pimpin' up in N.Y.C.
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and B-U-N B

 

Jigga What/Faint

Yeah

Jigga what?

Jigga who?

Jigga what?

Jigga who?

Jigga what?

You gonna lead the vocal in, right?

Mother fuckers wanna act loco, hit ‘em up 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
Mother fuckers 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
I hate my high youth, no niggas wanna buy you
But see me I wanna fuck for free
Now I gotta let her take this ride, make you feel it inside your 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 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 that I got

Got a condo with nothin' 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
Niggaz hatin' and 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
What a tragedy
She wanted, us to end, cause I fucked with friends
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 but sometimes I don't make sense
I am 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 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
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right now

I can't feel
The way I did before
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
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

 

Numb/Encore

Thank you, thank you, thank you, You're far too kind.
Let's go

Can I get a encore?
Do you want more?
Cookin' raw with the Brooklyn boys
So, for one last time, I need y'all to roar.

Now, what the hell are you waiting for?
After me, there shall be no more
So, for one last time, nigga, make some noise

Get ‘em, Jay

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 fuck you expect? (yep, yep)
Grand openin'-grand closin'
God damn, 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 (him)
With cheap imitations for these generations

Can I get a encore? Do you want more?
Cookin' raw with the Brooklyn boys
So, for one last time, I need y'all to roar

Now, what the hell are you waiting for?
After me, there shall be no more
So, for one last time, nigga, make some noise

What the hell are you waiting for?

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 (yeah)
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 with you
It's to aim at you-probably maim you
If I owe you I'll blow you to smithereens
Cocksucka', 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'fucka', if you want this encore
I need you to scream 'til your lungs get sore

 

(Come on)

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
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)
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

I've become so numb
(Can I get a encore? Do you want more?) (more, more, more)
I've become so numb
(So, for one last time, I need y'all to roar)
One last time, I need y'all to roar

 

Izzo/In The End

This is fun

Ladies and gentlemen, put our hands together for the
astonishing…

Yo
H to the izz-O…V to the izz-A…

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the 8th wonder of the world
The flow o' the century…always timeless…HOV!
(That's awesome)
Thank you for coming out tonight
You coulda been anywhere in the world, but you're here with us
We appreciate that…

Uhh, 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 V.A.
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 got-ta feel me
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
(check it out, yo)

(It starts with… One)
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
Watched the time go right out the window
Tried to hold on, but 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
(aw, they having a good ‘ol time out there)
it starts with… h-to-the-izz-O, v-to-the-izz-A, LP, jay-z, help me out
(aw, they having a good ‘ol time out there)
it starts with… h-to-the-izz-O, v-to-the-izz-A, LP, jay-z, help me out
(yes, indeed, ladies and gentlemen)

 

Points of Authority/99 Problems/One Step Closer

If you havin' girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

You got it, Mike?

He's got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure his casket's closed
Rap critics who 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 sapitos
You'd be celebratin' the minute you was havin' dough
So fuck critics: You can kiss our whole asshole
If you don't like the lyrics you can press fast-forward
Got beef with radio if we don't play the show
They don't play our hits—we don't give a shit, so
All these mags tryin' 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 intelligence that Jay-Z has
From rags to riches, we ain't dumb
We got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

Ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

The year is ninety-four and my trunk is raw
In the rear-view mirror is the mo'fuckin' law
I got two choices, y'all: Pull over the car or
Bounce on the double, 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 what I'm stoppin' you for?”
‘Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hat's too low?
Do I look like a mind-reader, sir? I don't know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some more?
“You was doin' fifty-five in a fifty four
License and registration and step out of the car
Are you carryin' a weapon on you? I know a lot of you are”
I ain't steppin' out of shit
All my paper's legit
“Well, do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?”
Well, my glove compartment is locked—so's the trunk in the back
And I know my rights so you gon' need a warrant for that
“Now aren't you sharp as a tack? You some type-a lawyer or somethin'?
Somebody important or somethin'?”
Haha, I ain't passed the bar but I know a little bit
Enough that you won't illegally search my shit
“We'll see how smart you are when the K9's come”
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

Ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

Ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

Ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine 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 ho
This is not a ho in the sense of havin' pussy
But a pussy havin' no God damn sense tryin' to 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 motorbike
But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
The only thing that's gonna happen is I'm-a get to clappin'
And he and his boys gon' be yappin' to the captain
And there I go, trapped in the kit-kat again
Back through the system with the riff-raff again
Fiends on the floor scratchin' again
Paparazzis with they cameras, snappin' them
DA tried to give the nigga shaft again
Half a mil for bail ‘cause I'm African
All because this fool was harassin' them
Tryin' to play the boy like he's saccharine
But ain't nothin' sweet—‘bout I hold my gun
I got ninety-nine problems—bein' a bitch ain't one
Hit me

Ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

Ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems I feel bad for you, son
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me

Shut up when I'm talkin' to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up when I'm talkin' to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
I'm about to break

Everything you say to me
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
I need a little room to breathe
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
Everything you say to me
I got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
I need a little room to breathe
I got ninety-nine problems
And I'm about to break

 

Papercut vs Like A Pimp

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

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

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

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
Like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall

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 the 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
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 I close my eyes
A face that watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall

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 the 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 I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

I cannot take this anymore

I'm saying everything I've said before

I find bliss in ignorance

Less I hear the less you'll say

You'll find that out anyway

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

I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear

Wish I could find a way to disappear

Nothing seems to go away

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

So 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

So even though you're close to me

You're still so distant

And I can't bring you back

Takes you out of the frame

While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through

You take away if I give in

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)

(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)

I learn were never true

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

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 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 (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 find I can't rely on myself (MYSELF)

How do you think I've lost so much

I'm so afraid that 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

I can't tell you how to make it

GO

No matter what I do, how hard I

TRY

In The End

(It starts with one)

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

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 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 sick of the tension, sick of the hunger (La, la, la, la)

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 thought the rust and rot

And dust / a small spot of light floods the floor

And pours over the rusted world of pretend

The eyes ease open and its dark again

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

The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away

Why I played myself this way

Now I see you're testing me pushes me away

Why I never walked away

Why I played myself this way

Now I see you're testing me pushes me away

Pushes me away

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 digging into crates ever since I was living in space

Before the ratrace, before monkeys had human traits

I mastered numerology and Big Bang theology

Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology

Invented the mic so I could start blessing it

Chin-checking 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 a spell of instrumentalness on 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 by-gones

I fire-bomb, ghostly notes haunt this

I tried threats but moved onto a promise

I stomp shit with or without an accomplice

And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this

High voltage

This is the unforgettable sound

High voltage

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

Spraying bright day over what you might say

My blood type's Krylon, Technicolor Type-A

On highways right with roadrage

Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around

Surround sound devouring the scene

Subliminal gangrene, overall the same things

Singsong karaoke copy bullshit

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 sixteen-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

High voltage

This is the unforgettable sound

High voltage

Bringing you up and taking you down

High voltage

Coming at you from every side

High voltage

Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

High voltage

This is the unforgettable sound

High voltage

Bringing you up and taking you down

"And, like, the rock and rap

You know what I mean

People acting like, you know

'Wow, that's a new invention'

That shit ain't new

It's constantly evolving

We're constantly changing"

(Sometimes)

"There's a lot of change

Everybody's always up with the labels

There ain't no label for this shit

They're always going to try

To put a label on it

To 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

This is my December

This is my time of the year

This is my December

This is all so clear

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 that I said to you

And I'd 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 trees

This is me pretending

This is all I need

And I,

Just wish that I didn't feel

Like there was something I missed

TheSasstielExperience, Mike Shinoda posted the Reading My Eyes lyrics on his blog. It says "rhyme-top":

http://mikeshinoda.com/2008/06/16/reading-my-eyes-much-music/

[GlassCastles]

That's not what he says, though. Listen to the song. He very clearly says hand. He said rhyme when they played the song in 2006, so that's where he got that lyric from. On the sampler tape, though, he says hand.

 

 

 

Hybrid Theory EP

 

Carousel

Ah

 

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 if she's 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's got it all under control
Thinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with
But in reality it'd be a problem to just quit
An addict and he can't hold the reins
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

 

(Ah)

(Fly with me under the wings I gave you)
Try to be closer to me and I'll save you
(Fly with me under the wings I gave you)
Try to be closer to me and I'll save you

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

Technique (Short)

You must exercise the proper technique...

 

Step Up

Yo

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 MC
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 (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 shit
And get smacked with verbal back flips
Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
It's taken decades for emcees to establish this
You're new to hip hop and welcome if you're 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

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?

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
I 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 now
You have never shown me
It's too late to love me now
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

Spit drips from the jaw of the witless witness
Cryptic colloquialisms shift your mid rift
Dog paddle through a bog of shadows and smog with my
Thought catalog: analogue rap battle log
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 weightlessness press me to the ceiling
Reeling around rooms
Riding a bubble of sound
Tuned to the frequency making your
Chest shake with every boom
Involuntary muscle contraction
Ignoring your neck's breaking
Musical gas fume euphoria
The sound pounds to make the dead flush
To hand you a head rush with read thoughts and said stuff

 

High Voltage

Just do something to tell you who I am, ya know?

In surround sound devouring the scene

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

Part Of Me

Part of me won‘t go away
Everyday reminded how much I hate it
Weighed it against the consequences
Can‘t live without it so it‘s senseless
Wanna cut it out of my soul
And just live with the 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
You hardly see
Right next to the heart of me
Hurting me
Wounds soon scar
New cuts cover where the old ones are
And now I‘m sick of this
I can‘t stand the sandpaper thoughts that grate on my sanity
I rather not even be
Than 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

(Freedom can 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 calm when the problem's all gone
And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can't let be
Memories of the last fight to free yourself
Taken to the depths of the bottom of the well
And now you know that 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 turns grey and rots away silently)

(Alive in me, inside of me, a part turns grey and rots away silently)

This part of me won't go away, part of me won't go away

 

(Oh, yeah)
Everywhere I look around I see how everything aught to be (Oh)
Every time I see myself I see there's always something wrong with me (Yeah)

Everywhere I look around I see how everything aught to be (Oh)
Every time I see myself I see there's always something wrong with me (Yeah)

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
Swallowing me

I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me

 

 

 

Hybrid Theory Demos

 

Blue

In the dark days, I'll part ways with the blame.
Trying to maintain, but it's still all the same, It's all a game
Hear my name in the rain and the pain, I wear on my face with a tear stain
You feign fondness, honestly it's time to give you a piece of my mind
And show you that you're blind
And in the design of the world I call mine
Know that you can't stand on both sides of the line.

Everything is my fault
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
The problems have two faces

Everything is my fault
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
The problems have two faces

Pass all the blame over to me, it will come eventually
Take the time out to examine all these questions honestly

With my eyes shut, I'm seeing the truth in your words
The absurd, slurred into beauty to be heard
You swim through deceit, the lies that you tell
The stories you sell, knowing you well, I keep distance
And every instance you keep your thoughts concealed
What I feel, just another spoke in the wheel
All or nothing, thrown down and trampled by your heel
And eaten away by my own version of the real

Everything is my fault
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
The problems have two faces
Everything is my fault
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
The problems have two faces

Pass all the blame over to me, it will come eventually
Take the time out to examine all these questions honestly

Who is to blame?

Nothing, thrown down
(It's all the same, just pass me the blame)
Trampled by your heal
(Play the game and wear a tear stain)
Eaten by my own
(Pass the blame 'cause you'll feel it if you don't)
Version of the real
(Always to blame)

Nothing, thrown down

By Myself (2-Track Demo)

What do I do to ignore what's behind me?
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride away 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 life in loneliness?
Cause sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns but I'm lost within
I put on my daily faciade 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 anything, watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to give into fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me 'til 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

Carousel (8-Track Demo)

(Ah)

She can't hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguise behind the lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight and staring at her insides
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family asking if she's 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
(I'm too weak to face 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

When it comes to how to live his life, he can't be told
Says he's got it all under control
Thinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with
But in reality, it'd 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
(I'm too weak to face 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

 

Fly with me under the wings I gave you
Try to be closer to me, I'll save you
Fly with me under the wings I gave you (Ah)
Try to be closer to me, I'll save you

Just follow me
I never know just why you run
And I'll show you what you want to see
The part you hide from what's inside
Just follow me
So far away, away from me
And I'll show you what you want to see

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

An addict and he can't hold the reins
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

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

Fly with me under the wings I gave you
Try to be closer to me and I'll save you
Fly with me under the wings I gave you (Ah)
Try to be closer to me and I'll save you

Just follow me
I never know just why you run
And I'll show you what you wanna see
Just follow me
So far away, away from me
And I'll show you what you wanna see

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

 

Crawling (6-Track Demo)

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
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 laid 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
I've felt this way before
So insecure...

Dedicated

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 up of crushed up wax
And the sky beyond you is krylon blue
And everybody speaks in a dialect of rhyme
And 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 ol' same
And dedicated to the people advancin' 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 can be the commonest
We float overhead like a space odyssey monolith
Over seeing the game,
Over being part of the same ol' thing
It's all gonna change in a hurricane of darkness and pain
And acidic rain and promises that 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 ol' same
And dedicated to the people advancin' 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 ol' same
And dedicated to the people advancin' 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 ol' same
And dedicated to the people advancin' 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, anybody with have nowhere to run

Who hides in the shadows waiting for the sun

 

Dust Brothers

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
With you

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
With you
With you
With you

No matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we've come, I
I can't wait to see tomorrow

With you
No matter how far we've come
With you
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With you
No matter how far we've come, I
With you
I can't wait to see tomorrow

With you
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With you
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With you
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With you
I can't wait to see tomorrow

 

Esaul (2-Track Demo)

(Ohh..)
Riding with the head full of buckets of red
And what I said still stuck in my head
But mis-led thinking the things I'd do would make you never wanna come back
But an on-front attack
You could never run from that
Being trapped in this with you
Something that I never wanted to do
But through it all you 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 of 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

And the second it starts
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 a nameless
Don't want me to say this
But you're dragging me down
Getting lost in the chaos, being tossed around
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic (Oh)
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 (Oh)
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic of my confine

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

You try to take the best of me
Go away

Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away

You try to take the best of me

Esaul (LPU 11)

Riding with a head full of buckets of red and what they said still stuck in the head
A thoroughbred thoroughly bled
And led to the land of the mental combats following a front attack so you can never run from that
The planet sizing up the horizon
It's smaller than a fly stand
I'm a lyrical lamp
The power that i got on my cynical hand
With a pen once again
Swimming in the center of the hit or the miss
Reeling in my thoughts getting lost in the mist
Realizing one not the size of a fist
And the killing of the killer with the flick of the wrist

I wanna live in another place where no one can say that I lived for them
(Still see, it's not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy, a place for my head

The second it's gone the weapon of time is stronger than a nuclear bomb
Eternity-you have not- So in that you can't fight nor flee
Still you'd be around if it wasn't for me
Way back first whatever my friends
That you see the attraction of the payback
Don't want me to say that
Playback the thing now
Getting lost in the chaos tossing it down
Singing again to myself electric neck twitch (Oh)
Hungry for a head full of hectic
Accept this, doing double-duty on time
Adding to the panic in my confine

Singing again to myself electric neck twitch (Oh)
Hungry for a head full of hectic
Accept this, doing double-duty on time
Adding to the panic in my confine

I wanna live in another place where no one can say that I lived for them

I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy, a place for my head

Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room

Heal my wounds

Soon the Aztec moon will heat my room

Heal my wounds

Burn
Burn

Forgotten (LPU 12)

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
(Saw a light in the sky)
The sun will escape me
(So why did I try?)
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
(Saw a light in the sky)
The sun will escape me
(So why do I try?)

From the thread to the needle, middle to end
When skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend
The rain then sends dripping an acidic questions
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 itself upon the world of pretend
And 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
(Saw a light in the sky)
The sun will escape me
(So why did I try?)

Taken far from my safety
(Saw a light in the sky)
The sun will escape me
(So why do I try?)

In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forgive me
But the lies have piled up

Moving all around
Screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
And as the wheels go round and the sunset creeps past the
street lamps, cars, chain-link and concrete
A window then grows and catches the eye
Cries out a yellow light as it passes it by
A small black figure sits in front of a box
Inside a box of rock with the needles on top
Nothing stops in this land of the pain
The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game
And then the insides change
The box stays the same
The shame, shovel up the pieces of the pain
You can try to hide yourself in this world of pretend
But 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
(Saw a light in the sky)
The sun will escape me
(So why do I try?)

You better step back
I'm telling you that I see it right through you

One Step Closer (Remix Demo)

I'm about to (to...)
I'm about to break (break...)

I'm about to break
I need room to breathe

I need room to breathe

I need room to breathe

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words, they make no sense
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
I'm about to...break

I'm about to 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
I'm about to break

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...

Takes me one step closer to the edge, and I'm about to break
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge, I'm about to break
Takes me one step closer to the edge, and I'm about to break
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge, I'm about to...

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

 

Papercut (Demo)

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 that 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
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 that 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 the 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 your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back (The sun goes down)
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 the skin (I feel the light betray me)

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back (The sun goes down)

Part of Me (8-Track Demo)

Part of me won't go away
Every day reminded how much I hate it
Weighted against the consequences
Can't live without it, so it's senseless
Wanna cut 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
You'll hardly see, right next to the heart of me
Hurting me, the routine scar
New cuts cover where the old ones are
So tired of making the same mistakes again and again
The suffering just won't end
And I can't let myself be
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 every day
I feel I'm in my way
I feel it swell up inside
Swell up inside, swallowing me

(Freedom can 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 melt it 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 calm when the problem's all gone
And then you start to see
Another piece of yourself that you can't let be
Memories of the last fight to free yourself
Take you to the depths at the bottom of the well
And then you know that you can choose to lose
The part of your heart where your inside's bruised
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 every day
I feel I'm in my way
I feel it swell up inside
Swell up inside, swallowing me

Alive in me, inside of me
A part turns grey and rocks away silently
Alive in me, inside of me
A part turns grey and rocks away silently

(This part of me won't go away)
Alive in me, inside of me
A part turns grey and rocks away silently
(Part of me won't go away)
Alive in me, inside of me
A part turns grey and rocks away silently

I feel it every day
I feel I'm in my way
I feel it swell up inside
Swell up inside, swallowing me

I feel it every day
I feel I'm in my way
I feel it swell up inside
Swell up inside, swallowing me

I feel it every day
I feel I'm in my way
I feel it swell up inside
Swell up inside, swallowing me

 

Part of Me (9-Track Demo)

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
Want to cut it out of my soul and just live with a gaping hole
Pride myself and taking control of the situation
Responsible for it's creation
Hang my head low cause it's part of me
You hardly see, right here in the heart of me
Hurting me, the roots old scar
New cuts over where the old ones are
And now I'm sick of this
I can't stand the sandpaper thoughts that grate on my sanity
I'd rather not even be than 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'm in my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me

(Freedom can 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
Eradicate the paid pollution
Feel the rein of resolution
But then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can't let be
Memories of the last fight to free yourself
Take you to the depths of the bottom of the well
So you know that you can choose to lose the part in your heart where your inside's bruised
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'm in my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me

This part of me won't go away
Part of me won't go away

I feel it everyday
I feel I'm in my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me

I feel it everyday
I feel I'm in my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me
I feel it everyday
I feel I'm in my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me

Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up

Shut up
Shut up when I'm talking to you

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
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
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 found 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
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

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

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
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

Rhinestone (9-Track Demo)

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
Storm bright in the sky
The sun will escape me
So why did I try
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
Storm bright in the sky
The sun will escape me
So why did I try

From the thread to the needle, middle to end
When skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend
The rain then sends dripping an acidic question
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
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
Storm bright in the sky
The sun will escape me
So why did I try

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
Storm bright in the sky
The sun will escape me
So why do I 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 the wheels go round the sunset creeps past the street lamps, cars, chain links, and concrete
A window then grows and captures the eye
Prys 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 pain
The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game
And the inside changes and the box stays the same
In shame,you shovel up the pieces to the pain
You could try to hide yourself in this 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 I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
Storm bright in the sky
The sun will escape me
So why did I try

She Couldn't

Won't be long 'til everybody knows

I've seen her smiling
The sunlight is shining on her now
She couldn't stay here
She knows you won't let her down

You know she couldn't stay here with you
You know she had to go
Even though she couldn't stay here with you
You know you're not alone

No matter what you think you did wrong
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)
She knew she had to go all along
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)
No matter what you think you did wrong
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)
She knew she had to go all along
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)

I see her shining
The sunlight's crying for her now
She wouldn't stay here
She knows you won't let her down

You know she couldn't stay here with you
You know she had to go
Even though she couldn't stay here with you
You know you're not alone

No matter what you think you did wrong
(Won't be long 'til everybody knows)

Slip

In the center of the silence, violent thoughts are thrown through
The thick smoke and flickering lights that brighten the room
All the things that you wanted to say
Get lost and thrown away
You can fade and hesitate to speak your mind
Can't turn back when you cross the line
Sometimes it's someone you know who just doesn't care
Has to see you go to know you were there

This is the sun behind the rain
Even though sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute
May've begun to run an endless race
But I never looked back
When I begin it
Know that this is the sun behind the rain
Even though sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute
May've begun to run an endless race
But I never looked back
When I begin it

I know all of this will soon be gone
You don't really have to prove them wrong

Sometimes you've got no control of where you go
Taking you down a road you don't know
And you feel so lost that you wanna hide your face
You don't recognize the place you're in
Sometimes the sun doesn't shine your way
Sometimes the night doesn't turn to day
Sometimes the light's so bright it burns through the night and keeps the darkness at bay
(Run away)

This is the sun behind the rain
Even though sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute
May've begun to run an endless race
But I never looked back
When I begin it
Know that this is the sun behind the rain
Even though sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute
May've begun to run an endless race
But I never looked back
When I begin it

I know all of this will soon be gone
You don't really have to prove them wrong
I know soon enough you'll make them see
You'll be far away from them with me

Follow the link in the chain without a name
Seal the light and the darkened days remains
Taken away from the place you've been trapped
Break all you know then bring it all back

This is the sun behind the rain
Even though sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute
May've begun to run an endless race
But I never looked back
When I begin it
Know that this is the sun behind the rain
Even though sometimes I feel I can't stand another minute
May've begun to run an endless race
But I never looked back
When I begin it

I know all of this will soon be gone
You don't really have to prove them wrong
I know soon enough you'll make them see
You'll be far away from them alone with me

 

So Far Away

Save me now

From this mess that I've created
All the souls have gone

And I'm stranded here with doubt and fear alone

Tell me how

I'm in fault for all this madness
I don't know what's wrong

But I cannot help but try to push it

So far away
(In so deep and inside of me)
So hard to say
(I don't want to say it anyway)

Save me now

I'm the mess I have created
And my soul has gone

For some reason all I do is push it

So far away
(In so deep and inside of me)
So hard to say
(I don't want to say it anyway)
So far away

It's so far away
(In so deep and inside of me)
So hard to say
(I don't want to say it anyway)
So far away
(In so deep and inside of me)
So hard to say
(I don't want to say it anyway)

 

Super Zero

So
What do you think?

What do I do to ignore what's behind me
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly
Do I hide my pride away 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 life in loneliness
Cause sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns 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
(Running against you, I can't win)
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to give into fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride I'll lie sleepless
And won't be able to cope with my weakness
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
(Running against you, I can't win)
With thoughts of failure sinking in

How do you think I've lost so much
Always afraid that 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
(Running against you, I can't win)
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
(Running against me, I can't win)
With thoughts of failure from with-

 

Untitled

It starts with one / and multiplies 'til you can taste the sun
And burned by the sky you tried to take it from
But, if it falls, there's no place to run
Crumbling down / it's so unreal
They're dealing you in to determine your end
And sending you back again to places you've been
And bending your will / 'til it breaks you within
And, still, they fill their eyes
With the twilight through the skylight
And the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on pad with the way I feel
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
As it's seeming that you played your part
Like you're heartless, take apart this
In the darkness / but I know that I've 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

I've looked down the line / and what's there is not what ought to be
Held back by the battles they fought for me
Calling me to be part of their property
And, now, I see that I get no chance
I get no break / fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes
And, as the tightrope within / slowly starts to thin
I can only hope that they close their eyes
To the twilight through the skylight
And the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on a path through the way I feel
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
As it's seeming that you played your part
Like you're heartless, take apart this
In the darkness / but I know that I've 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

I put my trust / in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this / there's only one thing
You should know

I put my trust / in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this / there's only one thing
You should know

I put my trust / in you
Pushed as far as I can go
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

That's not what he says, though. Listen to the song. He very clearly says hand. He said rhyme when they played the song in 2006, so that's where he got that lyric from. On the sampler tape, though, he says hand.

That's interesting. Thanks.

Maybe later we could work on listing those differences between live versions and studio versions.

There are a lot of small variations that occur, so that would be kind of interesting. I can think of a few off the top of my head.

 

Oh, and Dylan, your Fallout lyrics are wrong. Instead of "It's in the blackened bones", it should be "The blame is mine alone". Even the booklet has that one wrong.

I got tired of listening to We Made It. There's probably something wrong in the lyrics.

I need help with the LOATR remix lyrics.

Crawl Back In

Sometimes I look at my own face

And I don't know who I am

I see a piece of everyone I know

Buried underneath my skin

I don't want to be like them

I want to crawl back in

It's hard to think of anything that I haven't heard before

I hear these voices in my head

They could be mine but I'm not sure

I hear them telling me who they think I should be

Why won't they leave me alone

I can't deny it / I try to fight it

But I'm losing control

I don't want to be like them

I want to crawl back in

Don't want to lose my innocence

Don't want the world second guessing my heart

Won't let your lies take a piece of my soul

Don't want to take your medicine

I want to crawl back in

Sometimes I lie

Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I feel like I want to die

I don't want to be like them

I want to crawl back in

Don't want to lose my innocence

Don't want the world second guessing at my heart

Won't let your lies take a piece of my soul

Don't want to take your medicine

I want to crawl back in

(I want to crawl back in)

I want to crawl back in

Hey!

It's cold and dark I think I'm going insane,

The end is coming it's true,

I'm all alone and I am screaming your name,

It seems that's all I can do

It's too loud to hear a sound,

I'm so lost I cannot be found,

It's too late to turn back now

It's hard to focus when your life is a blur,

It's hard to see the truth,

How can I move on when there's so much to learn, (So much to learn)

And every road comes back to you?

And the tears fall like rain, down my face again,

Oh, the words you wouldn't say,

And the games you played with my young foolish heart,

Oh, I should have known this from the start.

Oh, the winter and spring,

Going hand in hand just like my love and pain,

How the thought of you cuts deep within the vein,

Brand new skin stretched across scarred terrain

Said, I don't wanna be let down,

I don't wanna live that life again,

Don't wanna be led down the same old road,

(I don't wanna be let down)

Said, I don't wanna be let down,

I don't wanna live my lies again,

Don't wanna be led down the same old road.

Ohh....

All those years down the drain,

Love was not enough when you want everything.

What I gave to you, and now the end must start, (Oh, oh)

Oh, I should've listened to my heart (Woah)

I don't wanna live that life again,

Don't wanna be led down the same old road,

You know not everything's your fault

Please let it be but don't wake me 'til the morning after
