02. The Radiance We knew the world would not be the same A few people laughed, a few people cried Most people were silent I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty And, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says "Now I am become Death, The destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another

03. Burning In The Skies I used the deadwood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies I filled my cup with the rising of the sea And poured it out in an ocean of debris Oh I'm swimming in the smoke / of bridges I have burned So don't apologise / I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve We held our breath as the clouds began to form But you were lost in the beating of the storm And, in the end, we were made to be apart Like separate chambers of the human heart No I'm swimming in the smoke / of bridges I have burned So don't apologise / I'm losing what I don't deserve

It's in the blackened bones / of bridges I have burned So don't apologise / I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve I'm swimming in the smoke / of bridges I have burned So don't apologise / I'm losing what I don't deserve The blame is mine alone / for bridges I have burned So don't apologise / I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve What I don't deserve / oh What I don't deserve I used the deadwood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies

Wretches And Kings Theres a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious Makes you so sick at heart That you cant take part, you cant even passively take part And youve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels Upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and youve got to make it stop To save face / how low can you go?

11. Wisdom, Justice And Love I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight Because my conscience leaves me no other choice. A true revolution of values will lay hands on the

world order and say of war: "This way of settling differences is not just." This business of burning human beings with napalm, Filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, Of injecting poisonous drugs of hate Into the veins of people normally humane, Sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love. Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love. Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love. Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love. Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love. Cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice and love.

Iridescent When you were standing in the wake of devestation When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown And, with the cataclysm raining down / insides crying, save me now You were there, impossibly alone Do you feel cold and you lost in desperation? You build up hope but failure's all you've known Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go / let it go And, in a burst of light that blinded every angel As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars You felt the gravity of tempered grace / falling into empty space No-one there to catch you in their arms Do you feel cold and you lost in desperation? You build up hope but failure's all you've known Remember all the sadness and frustration

And let it go / let it go Do you feel cold and you lost in desperation? You build up hope but failure's all you've known Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Do you feel cold and you lost in desperation? You build up hope but failure's all you've known Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go / let it go

The Messenger When you feel you're alone / cut off from this cruel world Your instincts telling you to run Listen to your heart / those angel voices They'll sing to you / they'll be your guide / back home When life leaves us blind / love keeps us kind It keeps us kind When you've suffered enough / and your spirit is breaking You're growing desperate from the fight Remember you're loved / and you always will be This melody will bring you right / back home When life leaves us blind / love keeps us kind When life leaves us blind / love keeps us kind Oh

MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT

Given Up

Wake in a sweat again Another day's been laid to waste In my disgrace Stuck in my head again Feels like I'll never leave this place There's no escape

I'm my own worst enemy

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

I don't know what to take Thought I was focused, but I'm scared I'm not prepared I hyperventilate Looking for help, somehow, somewhere And no one cares

I'm my own worst enemy

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

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

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

Leave Out All The Rest

I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared But no one would listen, 'cause no one else cared After my dreaming, I woke with this fear What am I leaving when I'm done here?

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest, don't be afraid I've taken my beating, I've shared what I made I'm strong on the surface, not all the way through I've never been perfect, but neither have you

So if you're asking me, I want you to know

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest

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

When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed Don't resent me, and when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest

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

Bleed It Out

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 Run myself out and no one cares Dug the trench out, laid down there With a shovel up out of reach somewhere Yeah, someone pour it in Make it a dirt dance floor again Say your prayers and stomp it out When they bring that chorus in

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away Just to throw it away, just to throw it away

I bleed it out, go, stop the show Drop your words and let sloppy flow Shotgun, opera, lock and load Cock it back and then watch it go Mama, help me, I've been cursed Death is rollin' in every verse Candy paint on his brand new hearse Can't contain him, he knows he works Fuck, this hurts, I won't lie Doesn't matter how hard I try Half the words don't mean a thing And I know that I won't be satisfied So I try ignoring him Make it a dirt dance floor again Say your prayers and stomp it out When they bring that chorus in

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away Just to throw it away, just to throw it away

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

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away Just to throw it away, just to throw it away

I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away 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 bleed it out I bleed it out

Shadow Of The Day

I close both locks below the window I close both blinds and turn away Sometimes solutions aren't so simple Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you The sun will set for you And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in grey And the sun will set for you

In cards and flowers on your window Your friends all plead for you to stay Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you The sun will set for you And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in grey And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in grey And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in grey And the sun will set for you

What I've Done

In this farewell There's no blood There's no alibi 'Cause I've drawn regret From the truth Of a thousand lies

So let mercy come And wash away...

What I've done I'll face myself To cross out what I've become Erase myself And let go of what I've done

Put to rest What you thought of me While I clean this slate With the hands Of uncertainty

So let mercy come And wash away...

What I've done I'll face myself To cross out what I've become Erase myself And let go of what I've done

For What I've done

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

I'll face myself To cross out what I've become Erase myself And let go of what I've done What I've done

Forgiving what I've done

Hands Held High

Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something Lightweights steppin' aside when we come in Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping People on the street then panic and start running Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumping Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping Fuck that, I wanna see some fists pumping List something, take back what's yours Say something that you know they might attack you for 'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I had before Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for Like this war's really just a different brand of war Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor Like they understand you, in the back of their jet When you can't put gas in your tank, these fuckers Are laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check Asking you to have the passion and have some respect For a leader so nervous in an obvious way Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day In the living room, laughing like, "What did he say?"

Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen

In my living room watching it, I am not laughing 'Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen The world is cold, the bold men take action Have to react to get blown into fractions At 10 years old, it's something to see Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep Taken and bound and found later under a tree I wonder if he had thought 'the next one could be me'

Do you see the soldiers that are out today? They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away It's ironic, at times like this you'd pray But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads Inside your market, your shops, and your clothes My dad, he's got a lot of fear, I know But enough pride inside not to let that show My brother had a book he would hold with pride A little red cover with a broken spine on the back He hand-wrote a quote inside, "When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die" Meanwhile, the leader just talks away Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay The rest of the world watching at the end of the day Both scared and angry, like "What did he say?"

Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen

With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you

No More Sorrow

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 decieved 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 Your time has come to be erased

Valentine's Day

My insides all turn to ash So slow And blew away as I collapsed So Cold A black wind took them away From sight Another 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 Because my path has lost direction Somehow

A black wind took you away From sight Another 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

I used to be my own protection But not now Because my mind has lost direction Somehow

I used to be my own protection But not now Because my mind has lost direction Somehow

In Between

Let me apologize to begin with Let me apologize for what I'm about to say But trying to be genuine was harder than it seemed And somehow I got caught up in between

Let me apologize to begin with Let me apologize for what I'm about to say But trying to be someone else was harder than it seemed And somehow I got caught up in between

Between my pride and my promise Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way The things I want to say to you get lost before they come The only thing that's worse than one is none

Let me apologize to begin with Let me apologize for what I'm about to say But trying to regain your trust was harder than it seemed And somehow I got caught up in between

Between my pride and my promise Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way The things I want to say to you get lost before they come

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

And I cannot explain to you In anything I say or do or plan Fear is not afraid of you But guilt's a language you can understand

I cannot explain to you In anything I say or do But hope the actions speak the words they can

For my pride and my promise For my lies and how the truth gets in the way The things I want to say to you get lost before they come The only thing that's worse than one is

Pride and my promise Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way The things I want to say to you get lost before they come The only thing that's worse than one is none The only thing that's worse than one is none The only thing that's worse than one is none

In Pieces

Telling me to go But hands beg me to stay Your lips say that you love Your eyes say that you hate

There's truth in your lies Doubt in your faith What you build you lay to waste There's truth in your lies Doubt in your faith All I've got's what you didn't take

So I, I won't be the one Be the one to leave this In pieces And you, you will be alone Alone with all your secrets And regrets Don't lie

You promised me the sky Then tossed me like a stone

You wrap me in your arms And chill me to the bone

There's truth in your lies Doubt in your faith All I've got's what you didn't take

So I, I won't be the one Be the one to leave this In pieces And you, you will be alone Alone with all your secrets And regrets Don't lie

So I, I won't be the one Be the one to leave this In pieces And you, you will be alone Alone with all your secrets And regrets Don't lie

The Little Things Give You Away

Water gray, through the windows, up the stairs Chilling rain, like an ocean everywhere

Don't want to reach for me, do you? I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away And now there will be no mistaking The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you And six feet under water, I do

Hope decays Generations disappear Washed away, As a nation simply stares

Don't want to reach for me, do you? I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away But now there will be no mistaking The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you And six feet under water, I do

All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you And six feet underground,

Now I do...

Oh, oh...

The little things give you away, the little things give you away (All you've ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you)

METEORA

Don't Stay

Sometimes I Need to remember just to breathe Sometimes I Need you to stay away from me Sometimes I'm In disbelief I didn't know Somehow I Need you to go

Sometimes I Feel like I trusted you too well Sometimes I Just feel like screaming at myself Sometimes I'm In disbelief I didn't know Somehow I Need to be alone

Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into [Just give me myself back and] Don't stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you [Just give me myself back and] Don't stay

I don't need you anymore I don't want to be ignored I don't need one more day Of you wasting me away

With no apologies

Somewhere I Belong

When this began I had nothing to say And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me I was confused And I let it all out to find / that I'm Not the only person with these things in mind Inside of me But all the vacancy the words revealed Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel

Nothing to lose Just stuck / Hollow and alone And the fault is my own And the fault is my own

I want to heal I want to feel What I thought was never real I want to let go of the pain I've held so long [Erase all the pain 'til it's gone] I want to heal I want to feel Like I'm close to something real I want to find something I've wanted all along Somewhere i belong

And I've got nothing to say I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face I was confused looking everywhere / only to find that it's Not the way i had imagined it all in my mind So what am I what do I have but negativity 'Cause i can't justify the Way everyone is looking at me Nothing to lose Nothing to gain / Hollow and alone And the fault is my own The fault is my own

I will never know Myself until I do this on my own And I will never feel Anything else until my wounds are healed I will never be Anything 'til I break away from me And I will break away I'll find myself today

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

Lying From You

When I pretend Everything is what I want it to be I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see When I pretend I can 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

This isn't what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said Would have you running from me Like this

The very worst part of you The very worst part of you Is me

Hit The Floor

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

Too many times that I've Held on when I needed to push away Afraid to say what was on my mind Afraid to say what I need to say Too many Things that you've said about me When I'm not around You think having the upper hand Means you've got to keep putting me down But I've had too many stand-offs with you It's about as much as I can stand Just wait until the upper hand Is mine

So many people like me Put so much trust in all your lies So concerned with what you think To just say what we feel inside So many people like me Walk on eggshells all day long All I know is that all I want Is to feel like I'm not stepped on There are so many things you say That make me feel like you've crossed the line What goes up will surely fall And I'm counting down the time 'Cause I've had so many stand-offs with you It's about as much as I can stand So I'm waiting until the upper hand Is mine

One minute you're on top The next you're not Watch it drop Making your heart stop Just before you hit the floor One minute you're on top The next you're not Missed your shot Making your heart stop You think you won

And then it's all gone

I know I'll never trust a single thing you say You knew your lies would divide us But you lied anyway And all the lies have got you floating Up above us all But what goes up has got to fall

Easier To Run

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

Something has been taken From deep inside of me A secret I've kept locked away No one can ever see Wounds so deep they never show They never go away Like moving pictures in my head For years and years they've played

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

Sometimes I remember The darkness of my past Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have Sometimes I think of letting go And never looking back And never moving forward so There would never be a past

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

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

Faint I am Little bit of loneliness A little bit of disregard A handful of complaints But I can't help the fact That everyone can see these scars I am What I want you to want What I want you to feel But it's like No matter what I do I can't convince you To just believe this is real So I let go Watching you Turn your back like you always do Face away and pretend that I'm not But I'll be here 'Cause you're all I got I am A little bit insecure A little unconfident 'Cause you don't understand I do

what I can But sometimes I don't make sense I am What you never want to say But I've never had a doubt It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you For once just to hear me out So I let go Watching you Turn your back like you always do Face away and pretend that I'm not But I'll be here 'Cause you're all I got I can't feel The way I did before Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored Time won't heal This damage anymore Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored No Hear me out now You're gonna listen to me Like it or not Right now

Figure 09

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts And the pain attached to them Sometimes I wonder why this is happening It's like nothing I can do will distract me when I think of how I shot myself in the back again 'Cause from the infinite words I could say / I Put all the pain you gave to me on display / but didn't Realize / instead of setting it free / I Took what I hated and made it a part of me

[It never goes away]

Hearing your name / The memories come back again I remember when it started happening I'd see you in every thought I had and then The thoughts slowly found words attached to them And I knew as they escaped away I was Committing myself to them / And every day I Regret saying those things / 'cause now I see / that I Took what I hated and made it a part of me

[It never goes away]

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

Get away from Me Gimme my space back / You gotta just Go Everything comes down to memories of You I've kept it in but now I'm letting you Know I've let you go Get away frm me

I've let myself become you I've let myself become lost inside these Thoughts of you Giving up a part of me I've let myself become you

Breaking The Habit

Memories consume Like opening the wound I'm picking me apart again You all assume I'm safe here in my room [Unless I try to start again]

I don't want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I know it's not alright So I'm Breaking the habit 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'll paint it on the walls 'Cause I'm the one at fault I'll never fight again And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream But now I have some clarity To show you what I mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So I'm Breaking the habit Breaking the habit Tonight

From The Inside

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

I 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

I won't trust myself with you I won't waste myself on you Waste myself on you You

Nobody's Listening

Peep the style and the kids checking for it The number one question is how could you ignore it We drop right back in the cut Over basement tracks

With raps that got you backing this up like [Rewind that] We're just rolling with the rhythm Rise from the ashes of stylistic division With these non-stop lyrics of life living Not to be forgotten But still unforgiven But in the meantime there are those who wanna Talk this and that / So I suppose It gets to a that point feelings gotta get hurt And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt [It goes]

Try to give you warning But everyone ignores me [Told you everything loud and clear] But nobody's listening Call to you so clearly But you don't want to hear me [Told you everything loud and clear] But nobody's listening

I got a Heart full of pain / Head full of stress Handful of anger / Held in my chest And everything left is a waste of time I hate my rhymes [But hate everyone else's more] I'm riding on the back of this pressure Guessing that it's better I can't keep myself together Because all of this stress Gave me something to write on The pain gave me something I could set my sights on You never forget the blood sweat and tears The uphill struggle over years The fear and trash talking And the people it was to And the people that started it Just like you

I got a Heart full of pain / Head full of stress Handful of anger / Held in my chest Uphill struggle / Blood sweat and tears Nothing to gain / Everything to fear

[Coming at you]

Numb

I'm tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless Lost under the surface I don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure Of walking in your shoes

[Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow] Every step that I take is another mistake to you

I've Become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired So much more aware I'm becoming this All I want to do Is be more like me And be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me Holding too tightly Afraid to lose control 'Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you

[Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow] Every step that I take is another mistake to you [Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow] And every second I waste is more than I can take

But I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me With someone disappointed in you

HYBRID THEORY

Papercut

Why does it feel like night today? Something in here's not right today Why am I so uptight today? Paranoia's all I got left I don't know what stressed me first Or how the pressure was fed / but I know just what it feels like To have a voice in the back of my head It's like a face that I hold inside A face that awakes when I close my eyes A face watches every time I lie A face that laughs every time I fall [And watches everything] So I know that when it's time to sink or swim That the face inside is hearing me / right underneath my skin

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

I know I've got a face in me Points out all my mistakes to me You've got a face on the inside too and Your paranoia's probably worse I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can't stand Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is I can't add up to what you can But everybody has a face that they hold inside A face that awakes when they close their eyes A face watches every time they lie A face that laughs every time they fall [And watches everything] So you know that when it's time to sink or swim That the face inside is watching you too / right inside your skin

The sun goes down I feel the light betray me

One Step Closer

I cannot take this anymore I'm saying everything I've said before All these words they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Less I hear the less you'll say But you'll find that out anyway

Just like before...

Everything you say to me Takes me one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I need a little room to breathe 'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear Wish I could find a way to disappear All these thoughts they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Nothing seems to go away Over and over again

Shut up when I'm talking to you

With You

I woke up in a dream today To the cold of the static / and put my cold feet on the floor Forgot all about yesterday Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore A little taste of hypocrisy And I'm left in the wake of the mistake / slow to react Even though you're so close to me You're still so distant / And I can't bring you back

It's true / the way I feel Was promised by your face The sound of your voice Painted on my memories Even if you're not with me I'm with you

You / Now I see / Keeping everything inside You / Now I see / Even when I close my eyes

I hit you and you hit me back We fall to the floor / the rest of the day stands still Fine line between this and that When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real Now I'm trapped in this memory And I'm left in the wake of the mistake / slow to react Even though you're close to me You're still so distant / And I can't bring you back

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

Points of Authority

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 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

Chorus: You like to think you're never wrong You want to act like you're someone You want someone to hurt like you You want to share what you've been through (You live what you learn)

Crawling

Crawling in my skin Consuming all I feel 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 and I'm convinced That there's just too much pressure to take] I've felt this way before So insecure

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...

Runaway

Graffiti decorations Underneath a sky of dust A constant wave of tension On top of broken trust The lessons that you taught me I learned were never true

Now I find myself in question [They point the finger at me again] Guilty by association [You point the finger at me again]

Paper bags and angry voices Under a sky of dust Another wave of tension Has more than filled me up All my talk of taking action These words were never true

I wanna run away Never say good-bye I wanna know the truth Instead of wondering why I wanna know the answers

No more lies I wanna shut the door And open up my mind

Gonna run away

By Myself

What do I do to ignore them behind me? Do I follow my instincts blindly? Do I hide my pride / from these bad dreams And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening? Do I / sit here and try to stand it? Or do I / try to catch them red-handed? Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness, Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness? Because I can't hold on / when I'm stretched so thin I make the right moves but I'm lost within I put on my daily facade but then I just end up getting hurt again By myself [myself] I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself

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]

How do you think / I've lost so much I'm 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

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

In The End

It starts with One thing / I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To explain in due time All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It's so unreal Didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on / but didn't even know Wasted it all just to Watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when

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

One thing / I don't know why Doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me / I'm surprised It got so [far] Things aren't the way they were before You wouldn't even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me In the end You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I

I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go And for all this There's only one thing you should know...

A Place For My Head

I watch how the Moon sits in the sky / in the dark night Shining with the light from the sun The sun doesn't give life to the moon assuming The moon's gonna owe it one It makes me think of how you act to me / you do Favors and then rapidly / you just Turn around and start asking me / about Things that you want back from me I'm sick of the tension / sick of the hunger Sick of you acting like I owe you this Find another place / to feed your greed - While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place I hate when you say you don't understand [You'll see it's not meant to be] I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you / and Step on people like you do and Run away the people I thought I knew I remember back then who you were You used to be calm / used to be strong Used to be generous / but you should've known That you'd Wear out your welcome / now you see How quiet it is / all alone / I'm soSick 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

You try to take the best of me Go away

Forgotten

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 tightly shut / looking through the rust and rot And dust / a spot of light floods the floor And pours over the rusted world of pretend The eyes ease open and it's 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 past the 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 it right through you

Cure For The Itch

Folks, we have a very special guest for you tonight.

I'd like to introduce... Mr. Hahn!

Let's hear it for the great Mr. Hahn!

And now a lesson in rhythm management. Let's begin...

Alright now, wasn't that fun? Let's try something else.

Pushing Me Away

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 a lie [Everything has to end / you'll soon find we're out of time left To watch it all unwind] The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I 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
