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

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

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 nowFrom 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

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 Plc.4 Mie Haed I want to be in another place I hate when you say

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 Rnw@Y 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

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?

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?

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!

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 / 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 awayIt 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

(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.

That is something I've been thinking about piecing together and writing...
-
He screams "TAKE! A! WAY!" live.
-
I feel like it's supposed to show growth and maturity as the album progresses, though Rebellion was written with satirical/sarcastic lyrics, so it's entirely possible that was meant to be written in a "Oh, yeah, I totally have seen blood and destruction. Totally" kind of way. The other two almost certainly show growth. The Rebellion/ALITS one could also be interpreted as the character maturing, too.

Dylan plz
-
It could very well have some significance, but it's just not an album release. Or maybe it was supposed to be before the music industry decided to change all release dates to Fridays instead of Tuesdays. Though, I do recall Astat saying that's been a concert visual for a few years. No idea about that, though.
-
We've discussed this at length. It's 100% NOT an album release date.
-
On APFMH, at least live, he screams "Take away!" Don't know if that's what he actually screams on the studio version, though.
-
Why would it be related to FM? Mike doesn't even rap on that song
-
I think it's obvious that the "Go Away" part represents APFMH and the "Hello" part represents Hybrid Theory being LP's debut album. Mike is just gonna go and perform the entirety of Hybrid Theory by himself under the guise of Fort Minor.

As much as it pains me to say it, I agree with you.

The Hunting Party - One Year Later
GlassCastles replied to Tyleronlplive's topic in Everything Linkin Park
That is the order those tracks appear in on the album, yes -
ATS yes. RECHARGED, the STB one was good, but IBG wasn't all that great. THP, are you kidding me?
-
The closest we'll get to that is if Mike does Where'd You Go again, and needs Chester for Holly's part.
