Tell us all again
What you think we should be
What the answers are
What it is we can't see
Tell us all again
How to do what you say
How to fall in line
How there's no other way
But oh, we all know

You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame

You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame
You're guilty all the same

Show us all again
That our hands are unclean
That we're unprepared
That you have what we need
Show us all again
'Cause we cannot be saved
Cause the end is near
Now there's no other way
And oh, you will know

You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame

You're guilty all the same
Too sick to be ashamed
You want to point your finger
But there's no one else to blame
There's no one else to blame
Guilty all the same
Guilty all the same
You're guilty all the same

Rakim:
Yeah, you already know what it is
Can y'all explain, what kind of man is destined?
When a man has plans of being rich
If he falls off his plans, he's wealthy?
Dirty money scheme, a clean split
Nonsense the same, he didn't call for this, he's filthy
Talk team, they take the paper route
All they think about is bank accounts, assets and realty
Anybody's expense, no shame with a clear conscience
No regrets and guilt free, you claim that ain't the way that he built me
Smoke scream, we're going in flames
Know as soon as they're done what the deal be
Say it's time for things to change

[Verse 1]
Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape
I'm my own worst enemy

[Chorus]
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me!

[Verse 2]
I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow somewhere
And no one cares
I'm my own worst enemy

[Chorus]
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me!

*GOD !!!!!!!!*
PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY
PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY
PUT ME OUT OF MY
PUT ME OUT OF MY FUCKING 
MISERY..............

[Chorus]
I've given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me!

I don’t know who to trust, no surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts sift through dust, and the lies
Trying not to break, but I’m so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this, all the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me

Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
‘Cause I swear for the last time
I won’t trust myself with you

Tension is building inside, steadily
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me

Trying not to break, but I’m so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this, all the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me

Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
Cause I swear for the last time
I won’t trust myself with you
I won’t waste myself on you!!!
You!!!
You!!!
Waste myself on you!!!
You!!!
You!!!

I’ll take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
‘Cause I swear for the last time
I won’t trust myself with you
Everything from the inside
And just throw it all away
‘Cause I swear for the last time
I won’t trust myself with you
You
You
You

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 this podium talking, the ceremonia ... Read more »

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top i stop
At the core i've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory won't escape me
But why should i care
There's a place so dark you can't see the end
[skies cock back] and shock that which can't defend
The rain then sends dripping an acidic question
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes shut looking through the rust and rot and dust
A small spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its dark again
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Moving all around screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go round and the sunset creeps behind
Street lamps, chain-link and concrete
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats
On down the street till the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see right through you

Tearing me apart with 
Words you wouldn't say 
Suddenly tomorrow's moment washed away 
Cause I don't have a reason 
And you don't have the time 
We both keep on waiting 
For something we won't find 

The light on the horizon 
Was brighter yesterday 
Shadows floating over 
Skies begin to fade 
You said it was forever 
But then it slipped away 
Standing at the end of the final masquerade 
The final masquerade 

All I ever wanted 
Secrets that you keep 
All you ever wanted 
The truth I couldn't speak 
Cause I can't see forgiveness 
And you can't see the crime 
And we both keep on waiting 
For what we left behind 

The light on the horizon 
Was brighter yesterday 
Shadows floating over 
Skies begin to fade 
You said it was forever 
But then it slipped away 
Standing at the end of the final masquerade 
The final masquerade 

Final masquerade 
Standing at the end of the final masquerade 

The light on the horizon 
Was brighter yesterday 
Shadows floating over 
Skies begin to fade 
You said it was forever 
But then it slipped away 
Standing at the end of the final masquerade 

Oh oh ohhhhh 
Standing at the end of the final masquerade 
Standing at the end of the final masquerade 
Final masquerade

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts
and the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin'
It's like nothing I could do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'Cause from the infinite words I could say I 
Put all the pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize 
Instead of setting it free I
took what I hated and made it apart of me

[It Never Goes Away...] x2

And now
You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me 
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you
You...
You...
You...

Hearing your name 
the memories come back again
I remember when it started happenin'
I'd see you in every thought I had
and then
my thoughts slowly found words attached to them.
And I knew as they escaped away I was
committing myself to 'em 
And every day 
I regret saying those things
cause now I see
that I 
took what I hated and made it apart of me.

[It Never Goes Away] x2

And now
You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me 
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what I've done
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you

[It Never Goes Away] x4

(get away from ME!)
Give me my space back
You’ve gotta just 
(GO!)
Everything just comes down to memories of 
(YOU!)
I've kept it in but now I’m letting you 
(KNOW!)
I've let you go!
So

You're gonna listen to me, like it or not
Hear me out now
Right now
You're gonna listen to me, like it or not
Hear me out now
No

I won't be ignored
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 can't feel the way I did before
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got(got)
Face away and pretend that I'm not
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
It's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, for once just to hear me out
I am what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt
'Cause you don't understand, I do what I can, but sometimes I don't make sense

I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
I won't be ignored
Don't turn your back on me
Time won't heal this damage anymore
I won't be ignored
Don't turn your back on me

I can't feel the way I did before
But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got
Face away and pretend that I'm not
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe this is real
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
Handful of complaints, but I can't help the fact, that everyone can see these scars
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
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 ... Read more »

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

One thing I don't know why it doesn't matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this ryme when I was obsessed with time
All I know, time was just slipping away and I watch the count down until the end of the day
Watch that watched me and the words that I say thet echoe of the clock rythem in my veins
I know that I didn't look out below and I watch the time go right out the window
Trying to grab hold, trying not to watch I wasted it all on the hands of the clock
But in the end no matter what I pretend the journey is more important than the end or the start
And what it ment to be will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

Yo one thing, one thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know, time to so-socialize like the host of the party
All for shake and made eye contact
Party control showing all that
Northeast, southwest coast
Staring out the window, no opportunity to mingle
I tried to show her, if you could just sense a middle disorder
I brought you back of the thing
Like the imaginary man of your dreams
Well, you would always seem to make it worth it
A pig skin I never nerfed it
you felt lovin, I never applied a room
without bringing the plan
by any means and means of leaving you teens,
of all those teenage scenes, I tried so hard

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even ma ... Read more »

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier to go
Than face this pain here all alone

Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I’ve kept locked away noone can ever see
wounds so deep they never show
They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
for years and years they've played

[Mike’s part]
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all the shame to the grave

It's easier to run replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier to go
Then face all this pain here all alone

Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn’t have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
And never moving forward so, there'd never be a past

If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would
Take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all the shame to the grave

Just washing it aside
All of the helplessness inside
Pretending I don’t feel misplaced
It’s so much simpler than change

It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It’s so much easier to ru ... Read more »
