My insides all turned to ash, so slow
And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
A black wind took them away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection, but not now
Cause my path 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, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's 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
Pink cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way
And the 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
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
Till the silence splits me open
I run
Till it puts me underground
Till 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?
In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because
I let myself down
In my fear and flaws
I run
Till the silence splits me open
I run
Till it puts me underground
Till I have no breath
And no roads left but one
No roads left but one
In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because
I run
And the silence splits me open
I run
And it puts me underground
But there's no regret
Are you lost in your lies?
Do you tell yourself I don't realize
Your crusade's a disguise?
Replaced freedom with fear
You trade money for lives
I'm aware of what you've done
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
I see pain, I see need
I see liars and fiends
Abuse power with greed
I had hope, I believed
But I'm beginning to think that I've been deceived
You will pay for what you've done!
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced!
Thieves and hypocrites!
Thieves and hypocrites!
Thieves and hypocrites!
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
No more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
Your time has come to be replaced
Waking 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 heck 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 hope 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 heck 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 ******* 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 heck is
Wrong with me?
There are no lyrics for session. It is an instrumental track.
Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
Rap stack got you back in the sub black rewind that
We just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylist division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiving
But in the meantime there are those
Who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt it goes
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody?s listening
Called to you so clearly but you don?t want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody?s listening
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest
And everything left?s a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else?s more
I?m riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it?s better I can?t keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
I'll never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody?s listening
Called to you so clearly but you don?t want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody?s listening
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle, blood sweat 'n' tears
Nothing to gain, everything to fear
Heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle, blood sweat 'n' tears
Nothing to gain, everything to fear
Heart full of pain
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody?s listening
Called to you so clearly but you don?t want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear, but nobody?s listening
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
(Nobody?s listening)
Head full of anger, held in my chest
(Nobody?s listening)
Uphill struggle, blood sweat n tears
(Nobody?s listening)
Nothing to gain, everything to fear
(Nobody?s listening)
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can?t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can but
I can?t pretend this is the way it?ll stay I?m just
(Lying to bend the truth)
I can?t pretend I?m who you want me to be, so I?m
(Lying my way from you)
No no, turning back now
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
No no, turning back now
(Let me take back my life, I?d rather be all alone)
No, turning back now
(Anywhere on my own '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 for who I ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fittin? in
And now you think this person really is me and I?m
(Trying to bend the truth)
'Cause 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, 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)
(Instrumental)
Come on
I woke up in a dream today
To the cold and the static
And I 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 hipocrisy
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
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
I’m trapped in this memory
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
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 options
You’re making a fool of me
No, you didn’t dare 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, I’m not upset
No, I’m not angry
I know love is love,
Love and sometimes it pains me
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, 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

Next message
Hey, Mike, what’s up?
This is Ron, Riff Raff, just asking you what’s happening?
I was just touching base, seeing how your Easter went
Um, just seeing if you’re going to see Joe sometime soon, too,
Because he’s got my keyboard that I’ve been trying to get back
I’ve been trying to call him and he hasn’t been returning any messages
Gra-
Graffiti sky
I dont think you're all ready
Yo, I dont think you're all ready
Graffit decorations
Under a sky of grey
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 want to know the truth (I want to know the truth)
I want to know the answers (I want to know the answers)
I want to shut the door
And open up my mind (And open up my mind)
And open up my mind (And open up my mind)
Paperbags and angry voices
Under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension
Wont 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
Guilty by association
Point, point the finger at me again
I wanna runaway (I wanna runaway)
I want to know the truth (I want to know the truth)
I want to know the answers (I want to know the answers)
I want to shut the door
And open up my mind (And open up my mind)
And open up my mind
Gunna runaway
Gunna runaway (way)
Gunna runaway
Gunna runaway (way, way)

Uh, ya'll not ready
Hey, yo
I don’t think y’all ready for what I’m about to do
All you new-skool dudes ain’t even got no clue
How dare you forget about Bam and Zue Lue
Cool Herc and Jazzy J.
They paved the way
Let me spit it for y’all who said I wasn’t going to make it
Every time I blaze it, y’all the first to hate it
My team reigns supreme to stay strong
Got the true series, son
They scared to put us on
Can’t get with hybrids
Get off your hiatus
To many y’all’s dying for it
So, I got to blaze it
Still ripping BK, Brooklyn, B and on
Hell-fighting family, aliennation
Banging hits in the backyard while LP’s on
I’m a little communicate
Phoenix Orion
I want to runaway (I want to runaway)
I want to know the truth (I want to know the truth)
I want to know the answers (I want to know the answers)
I want to 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
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
(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
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
Give it all away
I'd like to introdu—
We here
We here at the sound institute have invented a reliable audio-weapons system
Let's
Let's try
Let's try something else
Folks, we have a very special guest for you tonight
Break it down
Calling all freaks
Using the waves of sound
The true master paralyzes his opponent
Leaving him vulnerable to attack
Mister Hahn
Crawling in my skin
Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence
Consuming, confusing
Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence
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, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
Confusing what is real
There’s something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control
I fear is never ending
Controlling, I 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’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
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
Sometimes
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 in double-helixes
To 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 bygones
I fire bomb
Ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats but moved onto a promise
I stomp s**t 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 satisfied my rhyme jones
Spraying bright day over what you might say
My blood-type’s Krylon, Technicolour Type-A
On highways, right with road-rage
Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Overall the same things
Sing songs, karaoke, copy, bulls**t
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-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
High voltage
Coming at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
Who’s the man demanding you hand over your Land Rover?
No man’s bolder than the Pharoahe when he jams
The plan’s over
I inflict sclerosis
The most ferocious
Why I spy, my third eye, extremely high voltage
That’s why I need Ruby Quartz glasses
’Cause when I glance there’s a chance I might blast the masses
Subliminals trasmitted through piano
Integrated in flow
Calculated to nano
I use skills when I need
Please head the rhyme I hear when I plead when I proceed through time
I walk through walls an inanimate obsticles
Via induced reduction of cells and molecules
I bring the knowledge
You swallow the state
That’s a hologram
I box your head
Fatten your lip like Collogen
A telepath to deliver verses with no postage
Pharoahe Monch, Mike Shinoda
We high voltage
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
High voltage
Coming at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
we're stuck in a place so dark, you could hardly see
a manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
and as the rain drips acidic questions around me
i block out the sight of the powers that be
duck away into the darkness, times up
i wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
so tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
and the eyes ease open and it's dark again
from the top to the bottom
bottom to top I stop
at the core, I'm forgotten
in the middle of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the picture's there
the memory won't escape me
by 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
and nauseated by the polluted rock that's all around
watchin the wheels of cars that pass I look past
to the last of the light and the long shadows it casts
a window grows and captures the eye
and cries out yellow light as it passes me by
and a young shadowy figure sits in front of a box
inside a building of rocks with antennas on top
now, nothing can stop in this land of the pain
the same lose, not knowing they were part of the game
and while the insides change, the box stays the same
and the figure inside could bear anybody's name
the memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I could come back to them
someday I'm hopin to close my eyes and pretend
that this crumpled up paper can be perfect again
from the top to the bottom
bottom to top I stop
at the core, I'm 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 the podium talking, the ceremonial offerings
dedicated to urban dysfunctional to offspring
what's happening? city governments are eternally napping
trapped in greedy covenants, causin urban collapsing
bullets that scar souls, with dark holds, get more than your car stole
some hearts be blacker than charcoal
for real, this society's deprivation depends
not on outer differences, but the separation within
no preparation is made, limited age, and minimum wage
livin in a tenement cage for innocent pay
tragedy within a parade,
the darkness overspread like permanent plague,
I'm forgotten
in the memory you'll find me
eyes burning up
the darkness holding me tightly
until the sun rises up...
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 could hardly see
A manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight of the powers that be
Duck away into the darkness, times up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
So tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and it's dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety

The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up

For real, this society's deprivation depends not on our differences, but the separation within
No preparation is made, limited age, minimum wage
Livin in a tenement cage for innocent pay
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspreads like permanent plauge
I'm the forgotten
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
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 slippin' away
And I watched it count down till the end of the day
Watched it watched me and the words that I say
The echo of the clock rhythm in my vines
I know I didn't look out below when I watched the time go right out the window
Try to grab hold, tried not to watch
I wasted it all on while my hands' on 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 that I tried so hard (hard, hard, hard)
And I 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
Aiyyo One thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try (hard you try)
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know, ha! I socialize like the host of a party
spoke, shake and made eye contact, party that toast all format
North-east, south-west coast
I stand out the window, no opportunity ta mend though
I tried sole them (?)
I brought you back to the things
Like an imaginary man of your dreams
Who'd seem to make it worth it
A pig skin? I never nerfed it
(?)
By any means, it means I'm leaving your team
Follow the team, baby it seems I've tried so hard.
[Chorus]
Linkin Park (Remix) with Motion Man,
Linkin Park (In The End) and Kutmaster Kurt (x2).
One thing I don't know how
It doesn't even while you look at it now
Cuz when I designed this rhyme
I was scared of it all, scared to fall
And haven't even try to crawl
And I was forced to run
Wit'chu mockin me, stopping me, backstabbing me constantly
Constantly remembering all the times you fought with me
Watch the clock chalk, mock, full of hypocrisy
And now your mouth wishes it could inhale
Every single little thing that you said that could make things fail
Every single word you sputted just to get your piece
But it really doensn't matter to me
Cuz from the start till the end no matter what I pretend
The journey is more important than the end from the start
And what it meant to me will eventually be a memory
Of a time that I trid 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 mater
In the eeeeennnnnddddd...
What do I do to ignore whats behind me?
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I let it go and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
The 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 cant rely on myself
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If 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 till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
By Myself
MYSELF! I ask why
but in my mind I find
I can't rely on myself
MYSELF! I ask why
but in my mind I find
I cant rely on myself
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
How do you think
I've lost so much
I'm 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
No matter what I do how hard I
I can't seem to convince myself
I'm stuck on the outside
Don't you
KNOW
I can't tell you how to make it
No matter what I do how hard I
I can't seem to convince myself
I'm stuck on the outside
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure from with...
Riding with a head full of bodies are red
And when this X is still stuck in my head
But misled doing the things I do would make you never wanna come back
But an all front attack, so you could never run from that
Being trapped in this beau, some that I never wanted to do
But through it all you've got to see that what I want to be
Is over the pen again letting it out of me
In the center of the day in the dream, seeing all my thoughts
Getting lost in between, realizing one that the way to the sea
And the killing and again are in the head with the screams
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(You'll see its not meant to be from me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
We're gonna be crushed when it all falls apart
Going in the hollow, hoping that you won't know
The strain it puts to me, seeing what you've done
And consequently I've run away, just hitting again
Within the boundaries of an anguish
Want me to say this, but you're dragging me down
Lost in the chaos being tossed around
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the head again in my confine
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(You'll see its not meant to be from me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Try to take the best of me
Go away
Try to take the best of me
Go away
Try to take the best of me
Go away
Try to take the best of me
GO AWAY
Try to take the best of me, go away
Try to take the best of me, go away
Try to take the best of me, go away
Try to take the best of me, go AWAY
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(You'll see its not meant to be from me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Shut up (next words are mumbled, might be shut up again)
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the head again in my confine
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the head in my confine
(feat. Black Thought)

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 br—
Wasn’t that fun?
Let’s try something else
Forty-five caliber killa
but out of the philla-dela-realla
show yall brothas how you not a guerilla
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 tractor, 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 darts is lodged,
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
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
"Victimized"[Shinoda:]
No regret for the confidence betrayed
No more hiding in shadow
Cause I won't wait for the debt to be repaid
Time has come for you[Chester:][Chorus]
Victimized, victimized, never again victimized [x2][Shinoda:]
Their acting like they want a riot, it's a riot I'll give them
As the sound comes higher on this violent rhythm
These snakes in the grass, supplying the venom
I ain't scared of your teeth, I admire what's in em
Keep 'em waiting in the shadows there, thinking they hidden
But the truth is you don't have the stomach to get em
Go on already, hit em! You gotta be kiddin'
Wanna talk about a victim, Imma put you there with 'em![Chester:][Chorus]
Victimized, victimized, never again victimized [x2]
I’m stan teri maa ka bhosda madatrchod ddle 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 C4
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 to fucking all crouds
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 sayin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writin’?
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's 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 DJ's 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 mike
Just controlling the hype
And if we need to take shots from them
And be stopped by them just to meet 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 sayin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writin’?
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
I want to pick up the pieces, so that
There's less complication, so that
There's less conversation, and
Less aggravation
I want to go out alone, man, so that
There's less confrontation, and man,
There's less association, and
Less company, yeah
I was so frustrated, man, that
I was all confused, man, and that
I was disillusioned, and
sick of your friends
(Chorus)
Run, don't walk my way
Don't look my way
Cause I don't care, oh, no
So why are you still here
Why don't you disappear
And spin out of my life, oh
Why do we have limitation, and man
Why do we have limitation, so that
We don't get very far, and so that
We don't climb very high
I can't handle the indecision, and
I can't watch no more television, and
I won't miss you when you're gone
Cause I know my life will go on
You take
You take
Away
Away
Why does it feel like
Night today today toady today today today
Somethind in here's not right
Today today today today today today
Why does it feel like
Night today today today today today today
Paranoia is all i got
Left left left left left left
You take
You take
Away
Away
This is fun
Did that sound good
I will be waiting
With a song in my soul
A fortunate weakling
Which I have foretold
He raises his arms tied
Above the abyss
Singing his sweet song
His melody opens up the sun
Freedom raid
God has come
Rivers of blood
Pushed back in my veins
She sleeps with her eyes closed
To dream of the past
Her mind has gone blind now
While the memory closes up this sun
Freedom rain
God has come
Rivers of blood
Pushed back in my veins
[yeah]
I will be waiting
With a song in my soul
A fortunate weakling
(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I 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 that they can see 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 wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I?ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it?s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I?m close to something real
I wanna 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 way everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I?ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it?s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I?m close to something real
I wanna 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 till I break away from me
I will break away
I'll find myself today
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain
I?ve felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it?s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I?m close to something real
I wanna find something I?ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I am somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel
Like I am somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong
ahhhhhhhhhh!
i hate you so much right now!
crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is powerful
confusing what is real
oh-oh-oh
there's something inside me that pulls beneath the
surface
(beneath the surface)
consuming
(consuming)
confusing
(confusing)
this lack of self-control i've found so overwhelming
(so overwhelming)
i can't seem to find the strength within
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 powerful
confusing what is real
oh-oh-oh
discomfort endlessly has laid itself upon me
(itself upon me)
distracting
(distracting)
reacting
against my will i stand beside my own reflection
(my own reflection)
it's haunting
(it's haunting)
how i can't seem
to find the strength within
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...
raindrops put the rhythm on the pavement
and drip from the blacktop into the basement
traces of the rain pervade this
to erase your hate and take this from the fakeness

Feeling all in the track an' in fact
For those knowing the name

Puffed up, lookin' tough, but so phony
You and your boys, you don't know me
You really wanna hold me?

This song's about jellyfish
And their barely fish
Ain't no fooly-fish
I don't drooly-fish
Goes like this
Jelly, jelly, jellyfish
When you squeeze me I go squish
Peanut butter jellyfish
Put me on-a your sandwich
The jelly, jelly jellyfish
When you squeeze me I go squish
'Cause I'm a jellyfish
I'm a jellyfish
My friends are fish and they go to school
They think I'm crazy and they think I'm cool
'Cause I'm a jellyfish
I'm a jellyfish
Jelly, jelly jellyfish
When you squeeze me I go squish
'Cause I'm a jellyfish
I'm a jellyfish
Got no eyes and I got no head
I got no house and I got no bed
'Cause I'm a jellyfish
I'm a jellyfish
Jellyfish
In the end, there was nothing to say.
I can't look for any other way.
This feeling is takin over day by day.
Don't tell me if your right cause this
is the last time you;ll even see the light.
chorus: Open your eyes, open your heart
cause we'll never break apart. Keep it or
use it for an ending that fits. Nothing is here
so theres nothing to fear.
This sucks that this is not working
cause all your doin is twerking. Like
all them other people you talk too much
and your not even in a bunch. Looking every
where and nothings here. With you it's a nightmare.
In my mind all I see is you actually fair.
No I've done this to you too much
that I can't take it anymore. My heart
is poor and sore without you and you
just walking up that pew with only few.
Take this and I will no where and say
this OPEN YOUR EYES!
Melted candles on the window sill
Perfume in the haze
Ashtrays spread across the floor
On a normal day
We lay out across the bed
Just like we always did
And in this house
The devil laid his hand on our head
and made them spin
I want to be your man
If you think I cared
I want to be your man
Your man, lord
No more defenses
Like no more peace of mind
Keeping in these knives stabbing
Your circling, your circling, you're circling, your circling your head.
Contemplating everything you ever said.
Now I see the truth, I got a doubt.
I get the motive in your eyes and now I'm out, see you later.
I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold.
See inside, inside of our heads.
Yeah. Er, well now that's over. It's over.
I see your motives inside, and your decisions in mind.
*Chorus*
WHOA!!!
Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong, can take on anyone.
I know that you are wrong,Headstrong, Headstrong.
Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong can take on anyone.
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong.
I can't give everything away...
And I won't give everything away!
Conclusions manifest,
Your first impression's got to be your very best,
I see you're full of $hit and that's all right,
It's how you play and guess who gets there every night,
Well now that's over...
I see your fantasy, you want to make it a reality paved in gold.
See inside, inside of our heads.
Yeah. Er, well now that's over. It's over.
I see your motives inside, and your decisions in mind.
*Chorus*
WHOA!!!
Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong, can take on anyone.
I know that you are wrong,Headstrong, Headstrong.
Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong, can take on anyone.
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong.
I can't give everything away...
And I won't give everything away!
I know, I don't wanna hurt you.
I know, I don't wanna hurt you.
see your motives inside, and your decisions in mind.
*Chorus*
WHOA!!!
Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong, can take on anyone.
I know that you are wrong,Headstrong, Headstrong.
Back off, I'll take you on. Headstrong, can take on anyone.
I know that you are wrong and this is not where you belong.
I can't give everything away...
The sky opens wide
swallowing again
once I am insinde
I'm lost and can't pretend
these pictures in my mind
are not a part of me
these memories hold me tight
'til I can hardly breathe
(breathe,breathe,breathe,breathe,breathe)
I can hardly breathe
(breathe,breathe,breathe,breathe,breathe)
I can hardly stop the memories
nothing I can say or do
will take away what I've been through
what you were is what I've come to be
nothing you can say to me
will take away these memories
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 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'm convinced that there's just
Too much pressure to take
I felt this way before, so insecure
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing what is real
This lack of self control, I fear is never ending
What’s up?
You’ve reached Mike
Give me a detailed m—
Please enter your pass—
First message
Yo, Mike
This is Chali 2na, w’sup, man?
I’m just trying to catch up with you, man,
so we can go ahead and get this song on the roll, with a pot-n-a-d
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 siren sing
Warm me up in a nova's glow
And drop me down to the dream below
(Chorus)
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 blinding dream
Through the secrets that I have seen
Wash the sorrow from off my skin
And show me how to be whole again
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus)
Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see.
For you to see
Buck buck buck-buck-buck, buck-buck buck buck!
All rude bwoy lissen up!
Black cop!! Black cop black cop black cop
Stop shootin black people, we all gonna drop
You don't even get, paid a whole lot
So take your M-60 and put it 'pon lock!
Take your four-five and you put it 'pon lock!
Lookin for your people when you walk down a block
Here in America you have drug spot
They get the black cop, to watch the drug spot
The black drug dealer just avoid black cop
They're killin each other on a East Coast block
Killin each other on a West Coast block
White police, don't give a care about dat
Dem want us killin each other over crack
Anyway you put it it's a black on BLACK
Black cop black cop black cop
Black cop black cop black cop
Thirty years, there were no black cops
You couldn't even run, drive round the block
Recently police trained black cop
To stand on the corner, and take gunshot
This type of warfare isn't new or a shock
It's black on black crime again nonSTOP
Black cop!! Black cop black cop
Black cop black cop black cop
"Don't be the sucker..
Don't be the sucker comin into my face..
Don't be the sucker.."
Here's what the West and the East have in common
Both have black cops in cars profilin
Hardcore kids in the West got stress
In the East we are chased by the same black beast
The black cop is the only real obstacle
Black slave turned black cop is not logical
But very psychological, haven't you heard?
It's the BLACK COP killin black kids in Johannesburg
Whassup black cop, yo, whassup?!
Your authorization says shoot your nation
You wanna uphold the law, what could you do to me?
The same law dissed the whole black community
You can't play both sides of the fence
1993 mad kids are gettin tense
Black cop!! Black cop black cop black cop
Stop shootin black people we all gonna drop
You don't even get, paid a whole lot
Take your four-five and you put it 'pon lock!
Take your M-60 and put it 'pon lock!
Take your uzi, put it 'pon lock!
Black cop black cop black cop
Black cop black cop black cop
"Don't be the sucker..
Don't be the sucker..
Don't be the sucker..
Don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't.. don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't-don't-don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't-don't-don't-don't
Don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't-don't, don't-don't
Don't be the sucker comin into my face
Don't-don't-don't!
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
U might as well quit while your at it
U aint going no where
I feel so hollow inside
And it’s all your fault
You’re the cause of all this pain
Now I’m left here dying
U think u can beat me
It’s never gonna happen
U wanna reach the end
It’s never gonna happen
Do what u wanna do
It aint gonna happen
I wont let u do this
Not anymore
Ur so vindictive
U always have been
I regret the day I met u, I saw u
Now u don’t even remember me
I’m just the voice in your head
Screaming, crying
And telling you……
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
He's gotta mike
He's got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure his casket's closed
Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
He's from the hood stupid, what type of facts are those
If you grew up with holes in your zapitos
You'd celebrate the minute you was havin' doe
So, fuck critics, you can kiss our whole asshole
If you don't like my lyrics, you can press fast forward
Beef with radio, if we don't play they show
They don't play out hits, we don't give a shit, so
All these mags try and 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, nigga, we ain't dumb
We got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
And the year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
In the rear view mirror is the mother fuckin' law
I got two choices ya'll, pull over the car or
Bounce on the Devil, put the pedal to the floor
Now, I ain't tryin' to see no highway chase with Jake
Plus, I got a few dollars, I can fight the case
So, I pull over to the side of the road
I heard, "Son, do you know what I'm stoppin you for?"
'Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hats real low
Do I look like a mind reader, Sir? I don't know
Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo?
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 alot of you are
Well, I ain't steppin' out of shit, all my papers legit
But do you mind if I look around the car a little bit?
Well, my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back
And I know my rights, so, you gon' need a warrant for that
Aren't you sharp as a tack, get me some type of lawyer or some
Somebody important or somethin'?
Ha, I ain't pass 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 K-9's come
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Now, once upon a time, not too long ago
A nigga like myself had to strong arm a hoe
This is not a hoe in the sense of havin' a pussy
But a pussy havin' no goddamn sense, try and push me
I tried to ignore him and talk to the Lord
Pray for him 'cause some fools just love to perform
You know the type, loud as a motor bike
But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight
The only thing that's gonna happen is I'ma get to clappin'
He and his boys gon' be yappin' to the captain
And there I go traped in the kit, kat again
Back through the system with the riff, raff again
Fiends on the floor scratchin' again
Paparatzi's with they cameras snappin' them
D A tried to give the nigga the shaft again
Half-a-mil for bail 'cause I'm African
All because this fool was harrasin' them
Tryin' to play the boy like he's saccarin
But ain't nothin' sweet 'bout how I hold my gun
I got 99 problems, being a bitch ain't one
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
99 problems but a bitch ain't one
If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you, son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
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)
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
(I need a little room to breathe)
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
(Everything you say to me)
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one, hit me
(I need a little room to breathe)
I ordered a frapuccino
Where is my fuckin' frapuccino?
All right 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
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
If you feelin' like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
Niggaz 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 grip'n 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 pots
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, c?mon
If you feelin' like a pimp nigga, go and brush your shoulders off
Ladies is pimps too, go and brush your shoulders off
Niggaz is crazy baby, don't forget that boy told you
Get that dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get that dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get that dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get that dirt off your shoulder
You gotta get that dirt off your shoulder
Your homey Hov' in position, in the kitchen with soda
I just whipped up a watch, tryin' to get me a Rover
Tryin' to stretch out the coca, like a wrestler, yes sir
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 balla for real, cheea
Yeah, 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 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 pulling away 'cuz I'm
Lying my way from you
No, no turning back now
I wanna be pushed aside so let me go
No, no turning back now
Let me take back my life I'd rather be all alone
No turning back now
Anywhere on my own 'cuz I can see
No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you is me
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would
Have you running from me like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would
Have you running from me like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would
Have you running from me like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said would
Have you running from me like this
You, no turning back now
I wanna be pushed aside so let me go
No, no turning back now
Let me take back my life I'd rather be all alone
No turning back now
Anywhere on my own 'cuz I can see
No, no turning back now
The very worst part of you
Uh, uh, jigga what?
Uh, uh, jigga who?
Uh, uh, jigga what?
Uh, uh, jigga who?
Uh, uh, jigga what?
You gon' need a vocal in, right?
Motherfuckers wanna act loco, hit 'em up, numerous
Shots with the fo'-fo'
Faggots wanna talk to 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 bullshit, glock with the full clip
Motherfuckers better duck when the fool spit
One shot could make a nigga do a full flip
See the nigga layin' shocked when the fool hit
Hey ma, how you, know niggaz wanna buy you
But see me I wanna fuck for free like Akinyele
Here, this ride 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
I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got
Got a condo with nuttin' but condoms in it
The same place where the rhymes is invented
So, all I do is rap 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' 'n' shit 'cause I slayed your bitch
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
And now you're, actin' raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your hoes, wanna marry your hoe
Now she's mad at me, 'cause your majesty, just happened to be
A pimp with a tragedy
She wanted us to end 'cause I fucked 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
I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got
(I can't feel)
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
(Time won't heal)
This damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
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
Wonderful
(featuring Scott Weiland)
If I were to die this mornin'
Would you tell me things that you wouldn't have?
Would you be my navigator?
Would you take me to a place we could hide?
As I'm fallin' out
I wonder what I lost
Must be movin' on
Know I'll be waitin' here alone
I wanna ask you to forgive me
I haven't been the best with all that I had
Wish I'd only laid beside you
I think I spread myself a little too thin
As I'm fadin' out
I don't feel anything at all
Think I'm movin' on
Know you'll be safe but not alone
You're the everything
That led me to believe,
"Hold on, hold on"
You're the wonder in everything
That's wonderful

hideing in a sea of lies,

she's gone, what is left of me without you (how can i obsess without you)
SHE'S GONE!!!!! (without you)
I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static/And put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake/Slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant/And I can't bring you back
It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
You now I see/keeping everything inside
With you
You/now I see/even when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back
And we fall to the floor/The rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
But when things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake/Slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant/And I can't bring you back
It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
You/now I see/keeping everything inside
With you
You/now I see/even when I close my eyes
With you
You/now I see/keeping everything inside
With you
You/now I see/even when I close my eyes
No matter how far we’ve come
I cant wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we’ve come
I cant 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
Caught up against the wall again
Tied to a chain and a ball again
I never seem to amaze in minds
So just I sleep sleep sleep
please don´t...
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
Cut and bruised by the fall again
Lick my wounds like a dog again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel
That I see I see please let it be but don´t
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
I´m so tired there has got to be an end
to the pain I feel when I´m
awake and alive alive alive alive
and not dreamin
Caught up against the wall again
Tied to a chain and a ball again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel
That I see I see please let it be but don´t
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after
And I´m so tired there has got to be an end
to the pain I feel when I´m
awake and alive alive alive alive
And not dreamin
Wait & Bleed
I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander over where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...
Goodbye!
I wipe it off on tile, the light is brighter this time
Everything is 3D blasphemy
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up
This is not the way I pictured me
I CAN'T CONTROL MY SHAKES!
How the hell did I get here?
Something about this, so very wrong...
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this
Is it a dream or a memory?
I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander over where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...
GET OUTTA MY HEAD CUZ I DON'T NEED THIS!
Why I didn't I see this?
I'm a victim - SINNED-BY-JUST
Makin' my mind up and takin' your breath away
I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander over where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...
GOODBYE!
You haven't learned a thing
I haven't changed a thing
My flesh was in my bones
The pain was always free
I've felt the hate rise up in me...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves...
I wander out where you can't see...
Inside my shell, I wait and bleed...
AND IT WAITS FOR YOU!
System
System
System
You fell away
What more can I say?
The feeling's evolved
I won't let it out
I can't replace
Your screaming face
Feeling the sickness inside
Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
We'll be fine
Then your body will be mine
So many words
Can't describe my face
This feeling's evolved
So soon to break out
I can't relate
To a happy state
Feeling the blood run inside
Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
We'll be fine
Then your body will be mine
Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
Keep me down to what you think I should pay
Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry
Keep on trying, I'm not done so easily
(I will not die)
Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
(I will not die)
Why is everything so fucking hard for me?
(I will not die)
Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
We'll be fine
Then your body will be mine
Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
We'll be fine
Then your body will be mine
Part of me won' go away
Everyday reminded me how much I hated
Waiting against concequences
Can't let you down I'm so senseless
Wanna cut it out of my soul
And live with a gaping hole
Take control of my life '
Wash out all the burnt
I made the problems in the first place
Hang my head low cuz it's part of me
New cuts cover where the old ones are
I'm sick of this
I can't stand the sand paper thoughts that grate on my sanity
I'd rather not even be the man that got stirred in the Mercury
Cut myself free willing me's not just whats killing me
Cut myslef free willing me's not just whats killing me
Cut myself free willing me's not just whats killing me
Cut myself free willing me's not just whats killing me
I feel it everyday
I feel I'm in my way
I feel the swell up inside
I feel the swell up inside swallowing me
It can be frightining If you never felt it
Once it spills out
You feel like touched by somthing angelic
And then melted down into a pool of peace
Cease to be the animal you used to be
Rewrite the book of parts
You know you're wrong
I feel the calm when the problems are all gone
And you start to see
A little peice of yourself that you can't let be
A reason why you strike out for yourself
Take it to the depths at the bottom of the well
You know you can choose to loose the part of
Your heart where your race start to bruise
You can live it
Willing to put a stop to whats just killing you
Cut myself free willing me's not just whats killing me
Cut myslef free willing me's not just whats killing me
Cut myself free willing me's not just whats killing me
Cut myself free willing me's not just whats killing me
I feel it everyday
I feel I'm in my way
I feel the swell up inside
I feel the swell up inside swallowing me
Every time I look around I see how everything ought to be
Everytime I see myself there's always somthing wrong with me
Every time I look around I see how everything ought to be
Every time I see myself there's always something wrong with me
I feel it everyday
I feel I'm in my way
I feel the swell up inside
I feel the swell up inside swallowing me
I feel the swell up inside
Swell upinside swallowing me
I feel the swell up inside swallowing me
Swell up inside sawllowing me
(take away whats never been given to me)

one time(tick..tick..tick)
one day i when to your house

life takes form me again
fate takes we blame we hate the misstakes

Rock N' Roll!
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
And if they thought of rain
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
And if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Allright, thats enough of that sh*t
Wow!
That was just..
Do you guys wanna practice that somemore right here. or should we play another song?
That was just for love, that was just for love because they are here
Watch as the room rocks
Mentally moonwalk
Mixed media slang bangin' in your boombox
Verbal violence
Lyrical stylist
In a time when rock/hip-hop rhymes are childish
You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rappin' 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 MC if someone else writes your lines
And rappin' over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
'Cause rock and hip-hop been collaboratin' 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 wanna be an MC you gotta study the skill
Chorus:
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
It sounded like the only hip-hop you heard was Top 40 (Top 40)
And your record company's completely missin' it
And all the kids are dissin' it for not bein' legitimate
So in a battle you can't hack it
React with whack shit
And get smacked with verbal backflips
Get your ass kicked with a fabulous battle catalyst
It's taken decades for MCs to establish this
You're new to hip-hop
And welcome if your serious
But not on the mic - leave that to the experienced
Using waves of sound, the true master paralyzes his opponent,
Leaving him vulnerable to attack
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
After years of painstaking 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 is
Used to carefully attack
And neutralize the cellular structure of the human body
The question must be asked...
(Chorus)

There's no way to find out what's inside you
Until you fall into the hole
You dug for yourself while you slept here
Too young, too selfish, too cold
And when you find out what's been waiting
The moment you open your eyes
You'll see your true reflection
The very first time in your life
You cannot fight what's in you
This will not be denied
You cannot fight what's in you
This will not be denied
Cry to yourself
Nothing will help
It's too late to change what's been done
You do what you've always done best
You run
Into the hole you fall deeper
Deeper the faster you run
It won't stop until you've accepted
Accept everything that you've done
You cannot fight what's in you
This will not be denied
You cannot fight what's in you
This will not be denied
Cry to yourself
Nothing will help
It's too late to change what's been done
You do what you've always done best
You run
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 sayin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writin’?
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 mike
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 sayin’?
I’m standing in the middle of it
Middle of it
Middle of it
What are you writin’?
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

Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind

Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
Rap stack got you 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 unforgiving
But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
it goes
[Chorus]
(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
handfull of anger, held in my chest
And everything left’s a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else’s more
I’m riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it’s better I can’t keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you
[Chorus]
(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
handfull 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
handfull of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat and tears
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Heart full of pain
[Chorus]
(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)
handfull 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)
Coming at you from every side
I know you love me as you can, uh huh
I know you thinking of me when, uh huh
When I leave you, when I need you…
I am with you, you are my heart an ya my life.
I wasn't right yesterday
But don't tell me another way
You say: “It will following day'
Excuse I bring you a pray! Pray, pray, pray
Sorry I've a few feelings, I am void
Don't think that I vile villain,
Don't do with me disdain
Sorry I am immoral wall, I avoid.
Oh oh oh keep a secret of our love,
This love was flying dove,
It goes away from us.
We missed our days, alas!
Don't try my life improve,
Don't try you argue prove,
Don't live an another day,
Don't live another way.
Oooo I am your folly!
Don't try my life improve,
Don't try you argue prove,
Don't live an another day,
Don't live another way.
Oooo I am your folly!
Graffiti skys, skys...
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 run away
I wanna run away
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
Guilty by association
Point, point the finger at me again
I wanna run away
I wanna run away
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...
Uh, ya'll not ready
Hey yo
I don't think you're ready
For what I'm about to do
Ya'll new school dudes
Ain't even got no clue
How dare you forget about Bam and Zulu
Two urban jazz djs
They paved the way
Let me spit it to y'all
Who said I wasn't gonna make it
Everytime I blaze it
Ya'll the first to hate it
My team really keep supreme
Stay strong
Got the two series son
They scared to put us on
Can't get with the hybrids
Get off your hiatus
Too many of y'all is dying for us
So I gotta blaze it
Still repping BK, Brooklyn D and on
Hell fire and family alienation
Banging hits in the backyard
Out on the Lp song
I'm a new communicate
Named Phoenix Orion
I wanna run away
I wanna run away
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
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
From the thread to the needle, middle to end
When skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend
The rain then sends, dripping acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut looking through the rust and rotten dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours itself upon a world of pretend
Then the eyes ease open and it’s dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
Moving all around
Screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
And as wheels go round the sunset creeps past the
Street lamps, cars, chain-links, and concrete
A window then grows and captures the eye
Crys 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
The brains lose not knowing they were part of the game
And the insides go but the box stays the same
And shame, shovel up the pieces to the pain
You could try to hide yourself in the world of pretend
But when the paper's crumbled up it can't be perfect again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
Yeah, I got you caught in the act
You better step back
Telling me that
I’m seein' right through you
(repeat x7)
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
(In a minute you'll find me)
(Eyes burn me up)
(You say you'll never forget me)
(But the lies keep piling up)
Forfeit the game
Before somebody takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face you can't run the race
The pace is too fast you just wont last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away when I give in
My life, My pride is broken
You like to think you’re never wrong
(You live what you learn)
You have to act like you’re someone
(You live what you learn)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you learn)
You want to share what you’ve been through
(You live what you learn)
You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, My pride is broken

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
Chorus:
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
Chorus
why not what i came (3x)
Why not give me what I came to deserve
Why not give me what I came to believe (2x)
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
And 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, won't last, won't last...
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you've learned)
You have to act like you're someone
(You live what you've learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you've learned)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned learned learned...)
You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you've learned)
You have to act like you're someone
(You live what you've learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you've learned)
You want to share what you've been through

Fo-fo-fo-fo-forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last
Forfeit the game

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 and confession pouring out of your soul
Like a pill you couldn't swallow so it swallowed you whole
Another lie hard to follow, it followed you home
And like that
Broken down
A victim of your plight
Fire so out of control
Every memory and confession pouring out of your soul
And like that
Broken down
A victim of you lies
You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
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 would talk the right way
Every other minute I fought for my place
And drop what I made thought you might say so
I'm guessing that you probably know
When your inside's hollow and you want to be cold
Like a pill hard to swallow so it swallowed you whole
Another lie hard to follow, it followed you home
And like that
Broken down
A victim of your lies
You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
You crossed the line
Wrapped inside your lies
You hide behind
Lies
You're lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies
You're faking, you're mistaken
If you think that you could climb out of this hole
Forsaken, what would take me?
Analyzing by the power of your soul
Broken down, a victim of your
Faking, you're mistaken
If you think that you could climb out of this hole
Broken down, a victim of your lies
You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
You hide behind
Wrapped up inside your lies
You hide behind
Lies
You don't know
You crossed the line
Wrapped up inside your
Lies

You're lost inside that cold disguise

I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
I wanna 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 gonna owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors 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 sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest.
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
I wanna.....(fades out)
Two, Two, Three, Three, Yo, Yo, Yo
Keep me in the john to keep me calm
You and your mom keep on dram
Used to be a team, passed that baton
But you flopped that bomb when you dropped that bomb
Take it the john your babylon
Flush down with the sound that you carry on
I don't really give a damn
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 gonna bump get it up get crunk
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 gonna bump get it up get crunk
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
You'll see it's not meant to be
I wanna be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
You try to take the best of me / go away

Uh, yeah
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
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 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 of 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
But I don't know who I can trust
They screaming my name
I need somebody
To help me out of the flame
All I'm trying to do is just master me
All I wanna do is smoke a blast a beat
But something keeps talking to me consciously
Responsibly
Keeps haunting me
From dusk till dawn
Everything has something for ya
That voice inside of your head
Got to project it
Paranoia
Cold sweat
Shining on your face
Exposing your purpose
And if I
Ripped off your skin
I'd probably find another person
There's nothing worse
Than trying to pull 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 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
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 the skin
The face inside is right
Beneath the skin
The face inside is right
Beneath the skin
The face inside is right
Beneath the 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
The sun...can't stop..
(Mike Shinoda)
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 I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
Face that watches everytime I lie
Face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
The face inside is here in me right beneath my skin
(Chorus Chester,Mike and Serj)
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 a face inside is right beneath my skin
(Serj Tankian)
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes in me
You got a face the inside too
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what sets me off
but I know what I can stand
Everybody has infact 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 everytime they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And it watches everything)
So it's no doubt when it's time to sink or swim
The face inside is watching you too right inside your skin
(Chorus Chester,Mike and Serj)
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 a 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 a face inside is right beneath my skin
(a face inside is right beneath your skin
a face inside is right beneath your skin
a face inside is right beneath your skin)
(Chester and Serj)
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
(Chorus Chester, Mike and Serj)
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 a 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 I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like a face inside is right beneath my skin
(Serj Tankian)
I know this one thing that you probably don't know
My paranoia could go into anybody's souls
(Chester and Serj)
So screeeeeeeam!
There are no lyrics for opening.
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
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 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 of 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
I'm in connections with the final act you came here for
The one deriative you manage is the one i abhor
I need a minute to elaborate for everyone
The everyday bull---- things that you have done
Your impossible ego ----
Is like a megolomaniacal tab on my tounge
You ----ing touch me I will rip you apart
Reach in and take a bite out of the ---- you call a heart
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
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
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
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
I know why you blame me
I know why you plague yourself
We stood upon the edge
Eyes fixed in the sky
Just before twilight
Claimed the lights
Wind carried voices
Over the waters
From a whisper
Into a scream
We got this one night to make it real
For tomorrow is too far from here
The words that we cast
Into eternity
They still echo in my ears
And in my dreams
So meet me tonight
In the place that time forgot
And take with you
All that you can't leave behind
We got this one night to make it real
For tomorrow is too far from here
Headlights open
The road ahead
They can't light up the sky
But they can light our way
We got this one night to make it real
Finally recover
When the mood is right
Looking up into a neon sky
Time the mean takes over
Guess it's been too long
Since the last time that I tried to fly
[Chorus:]
Finally I find
When I lose control
Inside my body crumbles
It's like therapy
For my broken soul
Inside my body crumbles
Only needs a moment
Just to get away
Hope the stress won't mess up every day
No one final question
And I never doubt
Everything is gonna be okay
[Chorus]
Insecure would be my sign
(I don't know if I'll be alright, I don't know if I'll be alright)
I'll never have to hide
(I don't know if I'll be alright, I don't know if I'll be alright)
Try to live right
(I don't know if I'll be alright, Now I know it's)
It's alright
Finally I find
When I lose control
Inside my body crumbles
It's like therapy
For my broken soul
Inside my body
[Chorus]
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 who 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
Chorus:
It’s true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you’re not with me
I’m with you
You/now I see/keeping everything inside
With you
You/now I see/even when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor/the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn’t real
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 that I can’t bring you back
[Chorus]
With you
You/now I see/keeping everything inside
With you
You/now I see/even when I close my eyes
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 (x2)

to burn
But now i think that i already have
A soluction for my problem
but, i have to continue to fight
and never desisit...

This is my December,
This is my snowcovered home,
This is my December,
This is me alone.
[Chorus]
And I...
( Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed )
And I...
( Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that )
And I...
( Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed )
And I...
( Take back all the things I said to you )
And I...,
Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to,
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to.
This is my December,
These are my snowcovered dreams,
This is me pretending,
This is all I need.
[Chorus]
And I...
( Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed )
And I...
( Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that )
And I...
( Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed )
And I...
( Take back all the things I said to you )
And I...,
Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to,
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to.
This is my december,
This is my time of the year,
This is my decemeber,
This is all so clear.
(2x)
Give it all away,
Just to have somewhere to go to,
Give it all away,
To have someone to come home to.
I've lived through things I cannot say
Back then we dreamt of yesterday
It seemed as if the only way
And now we look for hope and pray
(Chorus)
If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing in the end
If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing, losing
It came up from the deepest sea
God gave it life and reason to be
His Shadow rose above the highest tree
And still his face we could not see
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
What to I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I trust something with my phoniness?
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can’t hold on when I’m stretched somethin’
I made the right moves, but I’ve lost within
You always must to hurt me in
You’re blind to see I love you
By Yourself!
Pre Chorus:
How do you think?
I’ve lost so much
So afraid, I’m out of touch,
How do you expect?
I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to!
Chorus:
Once I’ve ran to you, I’ve ran, now I run from you
This Tainted love you give me, I took it as UNRETURNED
Take my tears and go to hell!
Why, why, why don’t you try to love me?
Unreturned Love, love, love…

when i pretend
everything is what i want it to be
i look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
when i pretend
i can forget about the criminal i am
stealing second after second just cause i know i can / but
i can't pretend this is the way it will stay / i'm just
trying to bend the truth
i can't pretend i'm who you want me to be
so i'm
lying my way from you
[no / no turning back now]
i wanna be pushed aside
so let me go
[no / no turning back now]
let me take back my life
i'd rather be all alone
[no turning back now]
anywhere on my own
cause i can see
[no / no turning back now]
the very worst part of you
is me
i remember what they taught to me
remember condescending talk of who i ought to be
remember listening to all of that and this again
so i pretended up a person who was fitting in
and now you think this person really is me and i'm
[trying to bend the truth]
but the more i push
the more i'm pulling away
'cause i'm
lying my way from you
[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
[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
R u aware of what u make me feel
Baby
Right now i feel invisible to u
Like im not real
Didnt u feel me lock my arms around u
Why'd u turn away
Heres what i have to say
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Burning with a lost stare
Thats when i decided
Why should i care
Cuz u werent there when i was scared
I was so alone
U, ya need to listen
Im starting to trip
Im losing my grip
And im in this thing alone
Am i just some chic u placed beside u
To take somebody's place
When u turn around
Can u reconize my face
U used to love me
U used to hug me
But that wasnt the case
Everything wasnt ok
I was left to cry there
Waiting outside there
Burning with a lost stare
Thats when i decided
Why should i care
Cuz u werent there when i was scared
I was so alone
U, ya need to listen
Im starting to trip
Im losing my grip
And im in this thing alone
Crying out loud
Im crying out loud
Crying out loud
Im crying out loud
Open ur eyes
Open up wide
Why should i care
Cuz u werent there
When i was scared
I was so alone
Why should i care
Cuz u werent there
When i was scared
I was so alone
Why should i care
If u don't care
Then i dont care
We're not going anywhere
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 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
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 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've known faces that have disappeared in time
Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
All my friends have pictures made to make you cry
I've seen this and wondered what I've done to calcify
I ignore you
As I close my eyes I feel it all slipping away
I come toward you
We all got left behind we let it all slip away
I ignore you
As I close my eyes I feel it all slipping away
I come toward you
We all got left behind we let it all slip away
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right
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
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
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do
Nowhere to go
I Wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport
And put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my brain
Oh no oh no
Just put me in a wheelchair
And get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my toes
Oh no oh no
I've lied to you,
The same way that I always do,
This is the last smile,
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you.
(Everything falls apart,
even the people who never frown eventually break down.)
The sacrifice of hiding in our lives,
(Everything has to end,
you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all
unwind.)
The sacrifice is never knowing...
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
I've tried, like you,
To do everything you wanted to.
This is the last time,
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you.
(Everything falls apart,
even the people who never frown eventually break down.)
The sacrifice of hiding in our lives,
(Everything has to end,
you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all
unwind.)
The sacrifice is never knowing...
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
(We’re all out of time,
This is how we find it all unwinds)
The sacrifice of hiding in our lives,
(We’re all out of time,
This is how we find it all unwinds)
The sacrifice is never knowing,
Why I never walked away
Why a played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why a played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Pushes me away…
Crawling in my skin/(wounds)
will not heal!
fear is how/(i)
fall!
confusing
consuming
what is reeal!
This innocence has pulled it's shadow upon me
disorienting
tormenting
this lack of self control i feel is never ending
its daunting
how i cant seem
(to find)
the strength within
the doors are caving in
(Without a sense of confidence and im convinced its just to discreet to fail)
i've felt this way before
so inse--
(cure cure cure cure)
Crawling (in my skin)
These wounds they will not heal
feeling like ill fall
consuming
confusing what i feel!
The rain falls in the soil
the seeds grow from to a coil
everything with a root must fall
and so its counting down the time
cause its coming down
the rain cant stop the endless thoughts of destiny saught
nothing more than what we can take
but everything more than what we can give
(I've felt this way before...)
but everything that we cant feel
(so insecure)
the strength within
(i cant find a plan)
the enemy is true
it's all coming down
(to this)
there cant be anymore
this is the ENNNNNNNNNNNNNND!!!
CRAWLING IN MY SKIN
THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEAL
FEAR IS HOW I FALL
CONFUSING CONSUMING
WHAT IS
(real real real real real real reeeeeeeee)
(static)
I scream through the morning
I'm kicking the twilight as she comes
Time waits ever dawning
Spooning the thickness out and feeding our open mouths
The price you pay is always
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Time waits ever dawning
When you're
Following the animals around (around)
I scream through the morning
Feeding our open mouths and spooning the thickness out
The price you pay is always
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
My eyes are weary now
My eyes (my eyes) are weary
My eyes are weary now
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Too high or too familiar
Sunshine, Karma Killer
Karma Killer, Karma Killer, Karma Killer
Will I ever miss 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
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can’t run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won’t last
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame (frame)
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
(You) You can’t run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won’t last
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 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
