What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams?
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm streached so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself [myself]
[x2]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself
[Chorus:]
I can’t hold on
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I
Turn my back I’m defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they’ll
Take from me ‘till everything is gone
If I let them go I’ll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I’ll be outrun
If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer
by myself [myself]
[x2]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself
[Chorus]
How do you think I’ve lost so much
I'm so afraid that I'm out of touch
How do you expect... I will know what to do
When all I know Is what you tell me to
[x2]
Don’t you know
I can’t tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can’t seem to convince myself why
I’m stuck on the outside
Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my fucking mind
Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from atop these roofs
Knot it tight so I won't get loose
Truth is you can stop and stare
Bled myself out and no one cares
Dug the trench out, lay down there
With a shovel up out of reach somewhere
Yeah, someone pour it in
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Go, stop the show
Chop your words in a sloppy flow
Shotgun, opera, lock and load
Cock it back and then watch it go
Mama help me I've been cursed
Death is rolling in every verse
Candy paint on his brand new hearse
Can't contain him, he knows he works
Fuck this hurts, I won't lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try
Half the words don't mean a thing
And I know that I won't be satisfied
So why try ignoring him
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
I've opened up these scars
I'll make you face this
I pulled myself so far
I'll make you, face, this, now!
Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
Cuz I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
and this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm Breaking the habit tonight
Don’t start with the ugly part
Don’t end with the things that will make them want to walk away
Tune in at the den again,
Another price ain’t cheap but somebody’s gonna have to pay
Oh yes, you can only guess, what it is, what it was
Or remember what I had in mind
Shotgunning on a joy ride, coming down the block,
Half-cocked nearly half the time
Give it back, give it back, give it back, sing it
One time for the words divine and
Two times for the things that you hope you never have to say
Three seams in a dead man’s dream
and the girls tell the boys that they better f*cking run away
Live it up, won’t you give it up,
Turn it up, put it out, let it ride with the other lie
Shotgunning on a joy ride, coming down the block,
Half-cocked nearly all the time
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right
Why does it feel like night today?
Something insides not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time They lie
A face that laughs every time They fall
It watches everything
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right
You know I - thug em, fuck em, love em, leave em
Cause I don't fuckin need em
Take em out the hood, keep em lookin good
But I don't fuckin feed em
First time they fuss I'm breezin
Talkin bout, "What's the reasons?"
I'm a pimp in every sense of the word, bitch
Better trust than believe em
In the cut where I keep em
til I need a nut, til I need to beat the guts
Then it's, beep beep and I'm pickin em up
Let em play with the dick in the truck
Many chicks wanna put Jigga fist in cuffs
Divorce him and split his bucks
Just because you got good head, I'ma break bread
so you can be livin it up? Shit I..
parts with nothin, y'all be frontin
Me give my heart to a woman?
Not for nothin, never happ

Where should I start
Disjointed heart
I've got no commitment
To my own flesh and blood
Left all alone
Far from my home
No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart, I
Keep it locked up inside
Cannot express
To the point I've regressed
If anger's a gift, then I guess I've been blessed, I
Keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies
It's too late to love me now
You have never showed me
It's too late to love me now
You don't even know me
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me)
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
Keep my distance
Spit drips from the jaw of the witless witness
Cryptic colloquialism shifts your midrift
Dark all I do embark the shadows
Involved with my thought catalog, analogue, rap catalog
Keep my distance, and fear resistance, hurt by persistance
The twisted web of tangled lies
Strangles my hope to waste and numbs the taste
And I'm forced to face these ha

Nah, you don’t know me
I break through the clouds and the fire below me
You cannot catch me, cannot hold me
You cannot stop much less control me
When it rains it pours
When the flood gates open, erase the shores
At best you don’t care when it breaks your door
It takes all you can take, better take some more
Cause I know what it’s like to test fate
Have my shoulders pressed with that weight
Still I stood strong in spite of that hate
The night gets darkest right before dawn
What don’t kill you makes you more strong
What I’ve been waiting for so long
The nights go on
Waiting for a light that never comes
I chase the sun
Waiting for a light that never comes
Ohhhh ohhh ohhhh
Ohhhh ohhh ohhhh
Ohhhh ohhh ohhhh
Waiting for a light that never comes
When I was young, they told me, they said
We’ll make your day, you’ll lie in our bed
Take care, hold these reins but instead
then comes that day it’s off with his head
The night gets darkest right before dawn
What don’t kill you makes you more strong
You’ll have my mercy, then when you’re gone
The nights go on
Waiting for a light that never comes
I chase the sun
Waiting for a light that never comes
Ohhhh ohhh ohhhh
Ohhhh ohhh ohhhh
Ohhhh ohhh ohhhh
Waiting a the light that never comes
I told them that you don’t know me
I break through the clouds and the fire below me
You cannot catch me, cannot hold me
You cannot stop much less control me
When it rains it pours
When the flood gates open, erase the shores
At best you don’t care that it breaks some doors
Say it’s all you can take, better take some more
I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
the sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's gonna owe it one
It makes me think of how you act for me you do
favors then rapidly
You just turn around and start askin' 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 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
Maybe some day I'll be just like you
And
Step on people like you do
And run away all the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong,
Used to be generous, but you should have known
That you'd wear out your welcome and now you see
How quiet it is all alone
I'm so sick of the tension [ahh...]
Sick of the hunger [lalalalala...]
Sick of you acting like I owe you this [lalalalala...]
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm so sick of the tension [ahh...]
Sick of the hunger [lalalalala...]
Sick of you acting like I owe you this [lalalalala...]
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
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away ... Read more »

If your havin girl problems I feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
[MIKE SHINODA]
I got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Foes that wanna make sure my casket's closed
Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
I'm from the hood stupid what type of facts are those
If you grew up with holes in your zapatos
You'd celebrate the minute you was havin doe
I'm like fuck critics you can kiss my whole asshole
If you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward
Got beef with radio if I don't play they show
They don't play my hits well I don't give a shit SO
Rap mags try and use my black ass
So advertisers can give em more cash for ads
I don't know what you take me as
or understand the intellegence that Jay-Z has
I'm from rags to ritches niggas I ain't dumb
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
Hit me
[CHESTER BENNINGTON]
Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge and I'm about to break)
Yea, I need a little room to break
(Cause I'm one step closer to the edge and I'm about to break)
[JAY-Z]
The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
In my rear view mirror is the mother fuckin law
I got two choices yall 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
And I heard "Son do you know why 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?
"Well you was doin fifty five in a fifty four"
"Uh huh"<

(feat. The Humble Brothers, Jonathan Davis)
I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
’Cause I’m one step closer to the edge
And I’m about to break
I’m about to break
This room to breathe
This room to breathe
This room to breathe
I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I’ve said before
All these words, they make no sence
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
You’ll find that out anyway
I find the answers aren’t so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts, they make no sence
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before
Everything you say to me
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I’m about to break
Everything you say to me
And I’m about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I’m about to break
These are the places where I can feel torn from my body
My flesh, it peels during this rightly, concurring, balmy night
I’m about to break
Waiting alone, I cannot resist
Feeling this hate, I have never missed
Please, someone, give me a reason to rip off my face
Blood is a pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
And pouring
Shut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
Blood is pouring
Shut up
I’m about to break
Everything you say to me
And I’m about to bre
