Linkin Park Lyrics Xero Sampler Tape

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
And crys out yellow light as it passes it by
A small black figure sits in front of a box
Inside a box a rock with the needles on top

Nothing stops in this land of the chain


When brains lose not knowing they were part of the
XERO SAMPLER TAPE (1997) game
And the insides go but the box stays the same
In shame, shovel up the pieces to the pain
You could try to hide yourself in the world of pretend
1. Rhinestone When the paper's crumbled up it can't be perfect again

From the top to the bottom From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton At the core of the rotton
Stop and just what I thought Stop and just what I thought
The sun has escaped us The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try Look at why did try

From the top to the bottom From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop Bottom to top I stop
At the core of the rotton At the core of the rotton
Stop and just what I thought Stop and just what I thought
The sun has escaped us The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky So I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from rapist And I'm far from rapist
Look at why did try Look at why did try

From the thread to the needle, middle to end In a minute you'll find me
When skies C-ock back and shock that which couldn't Eyes burn me up
defend You say you'll never forget me
The rain then sends dripping acidic questions But the lies have piled up
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust Yeah I got you got in the act
and rotten dust You better step back
A spot of light floods the floor Telling me that
And pours itself upon a world of pretend I'm seein right through you
Then the eyes ease open and its dark again
Yeah I got you got in the act
From the top to the bottom You better step back
Bottom to top I stop Telling me that
At the core of the rotton I'm seein right through you
Stop and just what I thought
The sun has escaped us Yeah I got you got in the act
So I'm bright in the sky You better step back
And I'm far from rapist Telling me that
Look at why did try I'm seein right through you

From the top to the bottom Yeah I got you got in the act
Bottom to top I stop You better step back
At the core of the rotton Telling me that
Stop and just what I thought I'm seein right through you
The sun has escaped us
So I'm bright in the sky Yeah I got you got in the act
And I'm far from rapist You better step back
Look at why did try Telling me that
I'm seein right through you
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up Yeah I got you got in the act
You say you'll never forget me You better step back
But the lies have piled up Telling me that

Xero Sampler Tape Linkin Park Lyrics

I'm seein right through you


Why not
Yeah I got you got in the act What a keep
You better step back
Telling me that Why not
I'm seein right through you What a keep

In a minute you'll find me Why not


Eyes burn me up What a keep
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up Why not give me what I came to deserve
Why not give me what I came to believe
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up Why not give me what I came to deserve
You say you'll never forget me Why not give me what I came to believe
But the lies have piled up
Reading my eyes will say it in many ways
Losing my pride will save it in many days

2. Reading my eyes
The Microphone Molesta' 3. Fuse
The chevy undresser
Stupid dope fresh tight shit resurrector Of course you know what a fuse is...
Top gun man mod best of the besta' It's a long piece of cord impregnated with gun powder
The living MC peace and resta' When you strike a match and light it
Still tested the flexed gunna' It burns, fitfully, spiralling to its end
The make funna the appisary make runna' At which there is, a little surprise
Make summa cold with rhymes that spit
Get gifted, lifted, deliquent 'wit From the planet of Krypton, short suit MCs you'll be
I be the prophet, in my hand ripped on
Top it, stop it, felt like rockin when I rock it You fell off and it's my lyric sheet you slipped on
Locked it down with this perverse verse Get gone, spit on mic's made in Hong Kong
Every fuckin' curse I burst to hurt Rock on, sing songs mightier than King King
Room crowds physical fitness rhymes or Donkey (Kong), you think you want me or want this?
Coke heads couldn't do my lines You want some? hold your reputation for Ransom
Decorated like christmas pines with Italian rocks With these here, handsomely crafted tactics
MCs become silohetes in shock To break a snake and see like a cheap prophylactic
Galactic, space now yeah that grabs attention
Reading my eyes will say it in many ways Crack heads nodded like a pest can't even mention
Losing my pride will save it in many days Right a pat traps gas tracks in sections
Kid says this? he'll need witness protection!
Hit the dirt
Because the words I spit will do more than just rip your Try to see what I
shirt Can’t be seeing
I'll bitch slap your soul I'll be here
Track the track control
You coming at me? Try to see what I
You can't hack it though Can’t be seeing
So rediculous I'll be here
Watching my crew get sick of this
Wickedness Yo dig this, (dig this),yo it's the junkyard crooked letter
Pitchin this C-I-entific
Lyrical brichisness Duck us, the ruckus I'll bring stings your eardrum
To crews and cliques Hear one, lalala loose frind me fearsome
Maiden, men, and mistresses Opposing troops on my home front shall be gone
This is my life Testing the eight-hundred, eighteenth battalion
The twilight, the fight night Shallow the one who's run like rebels
And trying to see nothing but the highlights Enola gay rhymes kicked the notch up a level
When I write In intensity, send back the tax that you sent to me
These eyes on horizons Blow up your spot with grenades that were meant for
Top of Mike, start cries on to Krylon me
Fire on, rude men telekenetically MP3 versus R33 MCs, swiss change your gear putting
As aterically beats become a clarity shrapnel in the breeze
Feel averity's heroism, and heracy We're MCs with enemy companies with my hand full of
And severe every MC I see with Neverity lyrics talking 'bout you want these?
Please! Don’t even speak the name of channels and low
Reading my eyes will say it in many ways gadget mic shit put it down like pens
Losing my pride will save it in many days

Linkin Park Lyrics Xero Sampler Tape

For my friends and my fam let them dodge it around Full metal jacket fully auto rhyme pattern
this mic shot through the back of an MCs hand
With the strength that he had a bridge you don't want And I see what I have, I want you
that close body fields in hand to hand combat To be with me or Stick n' Move
Battle cats, it's like the sectional speech warfare words Now I see what I had, and I want you
flashing at cord icy To be with me or Stick n' Move
Can be affording whenever the shots get lit, don't
question my intention when your butt gets kicked Stick it, rock your whole clique and I'm wicked,
Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it
Try to see what I
Cant be seeing Stick it, rock your whole clique and I'm wicked,
I'll be here Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it
Tech broke italic syllabalic attacks
Try to see what I Stick it, rock your whole clique and I'm wicked,
Cant be seeing Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it
I'll be here
You want these MCs with lyrical back smacks! Stick it, rock your whole clique and I'm wicked,
Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it
(Whispered) Go ahead! suit yourself!
And I see what I have, I want you
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself! To be with me or Stick n' Move
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself! Now I see what I had, and I want you
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself! To be with me or Stick n' Move
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!

Try to see what I


Can’t be seeing
I'll be here
Tech broke italic syllabalic attacks
Try to see what I
Can’t be seeing
I'll be here
You want these MCs with lyrical back smacks!

4. Stick n’ move
This is how it's done going for the title and crown
Renowned MC's surround as the beat breaks down
In 2 elements clobbin' up those took the best of us,
The M-I see the way it ought to be finessed
and yes, yes am I the one to keep you on your toes?
(most) Definitely in my b-boy pose, the-a electric
pulling you in with a slight twist,
Touch your chin to your chest to the rhythm like this

And I see what I have, I want you


To be with me or Stick n' Move
Now I see what I had, and I want you
To be with me or Stick n' Move

MC's dogging me since the first day I grabbed the mic


Now it's like Sit! Stay!
Cobra path lifestyles I’m kickin'
Stickin' MC's real quick 'cause times tickin'
At the drop of the defense, I let loose the venom
Sendin', a tribal verbal heat up in em'
The ending will come, if you dont grab your family and
run
Apocalyptic rhyme pattern taking shots at the sun
Record industry rule, four-thousand-eighty -one
Question my intentions and your whole world is done
Like wars to Rome, turn your eyeballs into Saturn

Linkin Park Lyrics Hybrid Theory Demo CD

Adding to the panic in my confine

I wanna live in another place


Where no one can say that I live for them
(Start seeing it's not meant to be for me)
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
[x8]

I wanna live in another place


Where no one can say that I live for them
Start seeing it's not meant to be for me
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
HYBRID THEORY DEMO CD (1999) A place for my head

Shut...up...why

1. Esául (A place for my head) 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
Riding with the head full of bodies of red Adding to the panic in my confine
And when this X is still stuck in my head
But mis-led thinking the things I do Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Would make you never wanna come back Hope that some day you'll regret this
But an on-front attack Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
So you could never run from that Adding to the panic in my confine
Being trapped in this but you
Some that I never wanted to do
But through it all you've got to see
That where I want to be
Is over the pen again 2. Super Xero (By myself)
Letting it out of me
In the center of the day What do I do to ignore what's behind me?
In a dream Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Seeing all my thoughts Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams?
Getting lost in between And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Realizing one Do I let it go and try to stand it?
Not the way that it seems Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
And the killing and the killer with a head full of screams Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust none and live in loneliness?
I wanna live in another place Because sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
Where no one can say that I live for them I make the right moves but I'm lost within
(Start seeing its not meant to be for me) I put on my daily facade but then
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy I just end up getting hurt again
A place for my head
By myself (myself)
We're gonna be crushed I ask why, but in my mind
When it all falls apart I find
Knowing no matter how low I can't rely on myself
Hoping that you won't know (myself)
The strain it puts to me, seeing what you've done I ask why, but in my mind
And consequently I've run away, just hidden again I find
Within the boundaries of an anguish I can't rely on myself
Don't Want me to say this
But you're dragging me down I can't hold on
Lost in the chaos To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
Being tossed around It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic To anything watching everything spin
Hope that some day you'll regret this With thoughts of failure sinking in
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine If I
Turn my back I'm defenseless
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic And to give in to fate seems senseless
Hope that some day you'll regret this If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time Take from me till everything is gone

Hybrid Theory Demo CD Linkin Park Lyrics

If I let them go I'll be outdone


But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find
I can't rely on myself
(myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find
I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

How do you think I've lost so much


I'm so afraid I'm now 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
[x2]

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
[x2]

2. Technique (Short)

You must exercise the proper technique.

3. Step up
Yeah

Watch as the room rocks


HYBRID THEORY EP (1999) Mentally moonwalk
Mixed media slang
Banging in your boom box verbal violence
Lyrical stylist
1. Carousel In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You can’t tempt me with rhymes that are empty
She can't hide no matter how hard she tries Rapping to a beat doesn’t make you an emcee
Her secret disguised behind the lies With your lack of skill and facility
And at night she cries away her pride You’re killing me
With eyes shut tight staring at her inside And a DJ in the group just for credibility
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night I heard that some of you are getting help with your
All her family asking is she alright rhymes
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell You’re not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
Well all she's got to do is stop kidding herself And rapping over rock doesn’t make you a pioneer
She can only fool herself for so long Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years
She can only fool herself for so long But now they’re getting randomly mixed and matched
She can only fool herself for so long up
I'm too weak to face me All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck
(She can only fool herself) So how does it stack up? None of it’s real
You want to be an emcee you’ve got to study the skill
I never know just why you run so far away
far away from me Who can rock a rhyme like this?
I never know just why you run so far away Bring it to you every time like this?
far away from me Who can rock a rhyme like this?
Step, step up, step, step up
When it comes to how to live his life he can't be told
Says he got everything under control So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
Thinks he knows he's not a problem he's stuck with But mentally you don’t have the hip hop energy
But in reality it would be a problem to just quit With a tendency to make up stories
An addict and he can't hold the reigns Sounding like the only hip hop you’ve heard is top 40
The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same And your record company is completely missing it
Tries to slow down the problem he's got All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate
But can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop So in a battle you can't hack it
He can only fool himself for so long React with whack ***
He can only fool himself for so long And get smacked with verbal back flips
He can only fool himself for so long Get your *** kicked by fabulous battle catalysts
I'm too weak to face me It's taken decades for emcees to establish this
(He can only fool himself) You’re new to hip hop and welcome if your serious
But not on the mic
I never know just why you run Leave that to the experienced
so far away far away from me
I never know just why you run (Using the waves of sound the true master paralyzes
so far away far away from me his opponents, leaving him
vulnerable to attack)
[Background stuff]
I never know just why you run so far away Who can rock a rhyme like this?
far away from me Bring it to you every time like this?
I never know just why you run so far away Who can rock a rhyme like this?
far away from me Step, step up, step, step up
I never know just why you run so far away
far away from me Who can rock a rhyme like this?
I never know just why you run so far away Bring it to you every time like this?
far away from me Who can rock a rhyme like this?

Hybrid Theory EP Linkin Park Lyrics

Step, step up, step, step up Keep my distance


Keep my distance
(After years of pain staking research by the world's Keep my distance
leading sound scientists, we here at the sound institute
have invented a reliable audio weapons system. Actual [slows to rap solo]
movement of musical sound in space used to carefully
attack and neutralize the cellular structure of the Spit drips from the jaw of the witless witness
human body, and the question must be asked.) Cryptic colloquialism shifts your midriff
Dark all I do embark the shadows
Who can rock a rhyme like this? Involved with my thought catalogue, analogue, rap
Bring it to you every time like this? catalogue
Who can rock a rhyme like this? Keep my distance, and fear resistance, hurt by
Step, step up, step, step up persistence
The twisted web of tangled lies
Who can rock a rhyme like this? Strangles my hope to waste and numbs the taste
Bring it to you every time like this? And I'm forced to face these hate crimes
Who can rock a rhyme like this? Against the state of being
Step, step up, step, step up Feeling the weight-less-ness pressed between the
ceiling
Reeling around room
Riding a bubble of sound proof
It's the frequency making you
4. And one Sha-Shake with every boom
Involuntary muscle contraction
Where should I start Ignoring and drinking musical gas field euphoria
Disjointed heart The sound pounds to make the dead flush
I’ve got no commitment To have you a head rush with red thoughts and said
To my own flesh and blood stuff
Left all alone
Far from my home
No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart, I

Keep it locked up inside


5. High voltage

Cannot express Just do something to tell you who I am, ya know?


To the point I’ve regressed
If anger’s a gift, then I guess I’ve been blessed, I It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Keep it locked up inside Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
Keep my distance from your lies It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's too late to love me ma It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
You helped me to show me Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's to late to love me ma
You don't even know me I've been taking into crates ever since I was livin in
space
Breaking a part of my heart to find release Before the retrace, before monkeys had human traits
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Mastered numerology and big bang theology
Breaking a part of my heart to find release Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
And chincheckin kids to make my point like an
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break) impressionist
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me) Many men have tried to shake us
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too) But I twist mic cords to double helixes and show them
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace what I'm made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Keep it locked up inside Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of the
Keep my distance from your lies emcees that hate us
So try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break) From now to infinity let icons be bygones
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me) I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too) I've tried threats but moved on to a promise
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace I stomp **** with or without an accomplish
Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Mixed media)
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace The stamp of approval is on this
Breaking a part of my heart to find release
Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
Keep my distance It's high voltage you cant shake the shock

Linkin Park Lyrics Hybrid Theory EP

Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out


Cut myself free willingly
Akira, put a kink in the backbones of clones with Stop just what’s killing me
microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones Cut myself free willingly
Sprayin bright day over what you might say Stop just what’s killing me
Blood type krylon
Technicolor type A Cut myself free willingly
On highways ripe with road rage I'm patient to win Stop just what’s killing me
The cage and the tin to bounce all around
In surround sound devouring the scene I feel it everyday
Subliminal gangrene paintings I feel I made my way
Overall the same things sing songs karaoke copy I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
madness Swallowing me
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention It can’t be frightening if you’ve never felt it
Write rhymes at ease while the tracks stand at Once it’s been dealt with you feel like you’ve been
attention (Attention) touched by something angelic
Meant to put you away with the pencil And then melted down into a pool of peace
Pistol, official, 16 line rhyme missile Cease to be the animal you used to be
While you risk it all, I pick out of your flaws Remove the broken parts you know were wrong
Spin, blah blah blah blah And feel the karma when the problem’s all gone
You can say you saw And then you start to see another piece of yourself that
you can’t let be
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock And that reason’ll last fight to free yourself
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock And now you know you can choose to lose the part in
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out your heart
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Where your insides bruise
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out You can live if you’re willing to
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Put a stop to just what’s killing you
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
Cut myself free willingly
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Stop just what’s killing me
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Cut myself free willingly
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out Stop just what’s killing me
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out Cut myself free willingly
It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Stop just what’s killing me
Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what’s killing me

I feel it everyday
6. Part of me I feel I made my way
After this song there is static for awhile and eventually I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
a secret instrumental part. Swallowing me

Part of me won’t go away (Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams away
Everyday reminded how much I hate it silently
Weighted against the consequences This part of me won’t go away, part of me won’t go
Can’t live without it so it’s senseless away
Wanna cut it out of my soul Everywhere I look around I see how everyone ought to
And just live with a gaping hole be
Take control of my life Every time I see myself there’s always something
And wash out all the burnt taste wrong with me
I made the problems in the first place Everywhere I look around I see how everyone ought to
Hang my head low ‘cause it’s part of me be
Ya hardly see right next to the heart of me Every time I see myself there’s always something
Heard of me the routine scar wrong with me)
New cuts cover where the old ones are
And now I’m sick of this I feel it everyday
I can’t stand the sandpaper thoughts that grade away I feel I made my way
on my sanity I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
I rather not even be then the man that’s staring in the Swallowing me
mirror through me
I feel it everyday
Cut myself free willingly I feel I made my way
Stop just what’s killing me I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside

Linkin Park Lyrics Hybrid Theory

the face inside is right beneath my skin


the face inside is right beneath my skin

The sun goes down


I feel the light betray me

The sun goes down


I feel the light betray me

The sun
It’s like I’m / paranoid lookin’ over my back
It’s like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I feel the light betray me

The sun
HYBRID THEORY (2000) 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
I feel the light betray me
1. Papercut It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within
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 2. One step closer
I don’t know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed / but
I know just what it feels like I cannot take this anymore
To have a voice in the back of my head I'm saying everything I've said before
It’s like a face that I hold inside All these words they make no sense
A face that awakes when I close my eyes I find bliss in ignorance
A face watches every time I lie Less I hear the less you'll say
A face that laughs every time I fall But you'll find that out anyway
(And watches everything) Just like before...
So I know that when it’s time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me / right beneath my Everything you say to me
skin Takes me one step closer to the edge
It’s like I’m / paranoid lookin’ over my back And I'm about to break
It’s like a / whirlwind inside of my head I need a little room to breathe
It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin And I'm about to break
I know I’ve got a face in me
points out all the mistakes to me I find the answers aren't so clear
You’ve got a face on the inside too and Wish I could find a way to disappear
Your paranoia’s probably worse All these thoughts they make no sense
I don’t know what set me off first but I know what I I find bliss in ignorance
can’t stand Nothing seems to go away
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is Over and over again
I can’t add up to what you can but Just like before...
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when they close their eyes Everything you say to me
A face watches every time they lie Takes me one step closer to the edge
A face that laughs every time they fall And I'm about to break
(And watches everything) I need a little room to breathe
So you know that when it’s time to sink or swim Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
That the face inside is watching you too / right inside And I'm about to break
your skin Everything you say to me
It’s like I’m / paranoid lookin’ over my back Takes me one step closer to the edge
It’s like a / whirlwind inside of my head And I'm about to break
It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within I need a little room to breathe
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
It’s like I’m / paranoid lookin’ over my back Break break break break break
It’s like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I / can’t stop what I’m hearing within shut up when I'm talking to you
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin shut up shut up shut up
shut up when I'm talking to you
the face inside is right beneath my skin shut up shut up shut up shut up

Hybrid Theory Linkin Park Lyrics

I’m about to break I can't wait to see tomorrow


No, no matter how far we've come I
Everything you say to me I can't wait to see tomorrow
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break With you
I need a little room to breathe You, now I see, keeping everything inside
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge with you
And I'm about to break You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
Everything you say to me With you
Takes me one step closer to the edge You, now I see, keeping everything inside
And I'm about to break with you
I need a little room to breathe You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to
break
4. Points of authority
Forfeit the game / Before somebody else
3. With you Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face / You can’t run the race
I woke up in a dream today The pace is too fast / You just won't last
To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the
floor You love the way I look at you
Forgot all about yesterday While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not through
anymore You take away if I give in
A little taste of hypocrisy My life
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react My pride is broken
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant You like to think you’re never wrong
And I can't bring you back (You live what you’ve learned)
You have to act like you’re someone
It's true the way I feel (You live what you’ve learned)
Was promised by your face You want someone to hurt like you
The sound of your voice (You live what you’ve learned)
Painted on my memories You want to share what you’ve been through
Even if you're not with me (You live what you’ve learned)
I'm with you
You love the things I say I’ll do
You, now I see, keeping everything inside The way I’ll hurt myself again just to get back at you
with you You take away when I give in / my life
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes My pride is broken

I hit you and you hit me back You like to think you’re never wrong
We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still (You live what you’ve learned)
Fine line between this and that You want to act like you’re someone
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real (You live what you’ve learned)
I'm trapped in this memory You want someone to hurt like you
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react (You live what you’ve learned)
So even though you're close to me You want to share what you’ve been through
You're still so distant (You live what you’ve learned)
And I can't bring you back
Forfeit the game / Before somebody else
It's true the way I feel Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame
Was promised by your face Cover up your face / You can’t run the race
The sound of your voice The pace is too fast / You just won't last
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me Forfeit the game / Before somebody else
I'm with you Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face / You can’t run the race
You, now I see, keeping everything inside The pace is too fast / You just won't last
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes You like to think you’re never wrong
With you (You live what you’ve learned)
You, now I see, keeping everything inside You want to act like you’re someone
with you (You live what you’ve learned)
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you’ve learned)
No, no matter how far we've come You want to share what you’ve been through

Linkin Park Lyrics Hybrid Theory

(You live what you’ve learned) 6. Runaway


You like to think you’re never wrong / forfeit the game
(You live what you’ve learned) Graffiti decorations
You want to act like you’re someone / forfeit the game Under a sky of dust
(You live what you’ve learned) A constant wave of tension
You want someone to hurt like you / forfeit the game On top of broken trust
(You live what you’ve learned) The lessons that you taught me
You want to share what you’ve been through I learn were never true
(You live what you’ve learned) Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)

5. Crawling I wanna run away


Never say goodbye
crawling in my skin I wanna know the truth
these wounds they will not heal Instead of wondering why
fear is how I fall I wanna know the answers
confusing what is real No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
there's something inside me that pulls beneath the
surface Paper bags and angry voices
consuming/confusing Under a sky of dust
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending Another wave of tension
controlling/I can't seem Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
to find myself again Now I find myself in question
my walls are closing in (They point the finger at me again)
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that Guilty by association
there's just too much pressure to take) (You point the finger at me again)
I've felt this way before
so insecure I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
crawling in my skin I wanna know the truth
these wounds they will not heal Instead of wondering why
fear is how I fall I wanna know the answers
confusing what is real No more lies
I wanna shut the door
discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me And open up my mind
distracting/reacting
against my will I stand beside my own reflection I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
it's haunting how I can't seem... (gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away
gonna run away)
to find myself again I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
my walls are closing in (gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that gonna run away)
there's just too much pressure to take) I'm gonna run away and open my mind
I've felt this way before (gonna run away/mind gonna run away gonna run
so insecure away/mind mind gonna run away mind gonna run
away/mind gonna run away gonna run away gonna run
crawling in my skin away/mind)
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall I wanna run away
confusing what is real Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
crawling in my skin Instead of wondering why
these wounds they will not heal I wanna know the answers
fear is how I fall No more lies
confusing confusing what is real I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
there's something inside me that pulls beneath the
surface I wanna run away
consuming/confusing what is real and open up my mind
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending I wanna run away
controlling/confusing what is real and open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind

Hybrid Theory Linkin Park Lyrics

I wanna run away


and open up my mind 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
7. By myself
I can’t hold on
What do I do to ignore them behind me? To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
Do I follow my instincts blindly? It’s all too much to take in
Do I hide my pride / from these bad dreams I can’t hold on
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening? To anything watching everything spin
Do I / sit here and try to stand it? With thoughts of failure sinking in
Or do I / try to catch them red - handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness, I can’t hold on
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness? To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
Because I can’t hold on / when I’m stretched so thin It’s all too much to take in
I make the right moves but I’m lost within I can’t hold on
I put on my daily façade but then To anything watching everything spin
I just end up getting hurt again With thoughts of failure sinking...

by myself [myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on myself
8. In the end
[myself]
I ask why, but in my mind (It starts with)
I find I can’t rely on myself One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
I can’t hold on Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin To explain in due time
It’s all too much to take in All I know
I can’t hold on time is a valuable thing
To anything watching everything spin Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
With thoughts of failure sinking in Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
If I It’s so unreal
Turn my back I’m defenseless Didn’t look out below
And to go blindly seems senseless Watch the time go right out the window
If I hide my pride and let it all go on / then they’ll Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know
Take from me ‘till everything is gone Wasted it all just to
If I let them go I’ll be outdone Watch you go
But if I try to catch them I’ll be outrun I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all
If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer fell apart
Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory /
of a time when I tried
[by myself] so hard
[myself]
I ask why, but in my mind And got so far
I find I can’t rely on myself But in the end
[myself] It doesn't even matter
I ask why, but in my mind I had to fall
I find I can’t rely on myself To lose it all
But in the end
I can’t hold on It doesn't even matter
To what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s all too much to take in One thing / I don’t know why
I can’t hold on It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
To anything watching everything spin Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
With thoughts of failure sinking in To remind myself how
I tried so hard
How do you think / I’ve lost so much In spite of the way you were mocking me
I’m so afraid / I’m out of touch Acting like I was part of your property
How do you expect / I will know what to do Remembering all the times you fought with me
When all I know / Is what you tell me to I’m surprised it got so (far)
Don’t you (know) Things aren’t the way they were before
I can’t tell you how to make it (go) You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
No matter what I do, how hard I (try) Not that you knew me back then
I can’t seem to convince myself (why) But it all comes back to me
I’m stuck on the outside In the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it Sick of you acting like I owe you this
all fell apart Find another place / to feed your greed
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / While / I find a place to rest
of a time when I
I tried so hard I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
And got so far (You’ll see it's not meant to be)
But in the end I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
It doesn’t even matter A place for my head
I had to fall
To lose it all You
But in the end try to take the best of me
It doesn’t even matter Go away
[x8]
I’ve put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go I want to be in another place
And for all this I hate when you say you don’t understand
There’s only one thing you should know (You’ll see it's not meant to be)
I’ve put my trust in you I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
Pushed as far as I can go A place for my head
And for all this
There’s only one thing you should know Shut...up
I tried so hard
And got so far I’m so sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
But in the end Sick of you acting like I owe you this
It doesn’t even matter Find another place / to feed your greed
I had to fall While I find a place to rest
To lose it all
But in the end I’m so sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
It doesn’t even matter Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

9. A place for my head

I watch how the


10. Forgotten
Moon sits in the sky / in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun From the top to the bottom
The sun doesn't give / light to the moon assuming Bottom to top I stop
The moon’s going to owe it one At the core I’ve forgotten
It makes me think of how you act to me / You do In the middle of my thoughts
favours and then rapidly / You just Taken far from my safety
Turn around and start asking me / about The picture is there
Things you want back from me The memory won’t escape me
I’m sick of the tension / sick of the hunger But why should I care
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed From the top to the bottom
While I find a place to rest Bottom to top I stop
At the core I’ve forgotten
I want to be in another place In the middle of my thoughts
I hate when you say you don’t understand Taken far from my safety
(You’ll see it's not meant to be) The picture is there
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy The memory won’t escape me
A place for my head But why should I care

Maybe someday I’ll be just like you / and There’s a place so dark you can’t see the end
Step on people like you do and / Run (Skies cock back) and shock that which can’t defend
Away the people I thought I knew The rain then sends dripping / an acidic question
I remember back then who you were Forcefully, the power of suggestion
You used to be calm / used to be strong Then with the eyes shut / looking though the rust and
Used to be generous / but you should’ve known / That rot
you’d And dust / a spot of light floods the floor
Wear out your welcome / now you see And pours over the rusted world of pretend
How quiet it is / all alone / I’m so The eyes ease open and its dark again
Sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this From the top to the bottom
Find another place / to feed your greed Bottom to top I stop
While / I find a place to rest / I’m so At the core I’ve forgotten
Sick of the tension / sick of the hunger In the middle of my thoughts

Hybrid Theory Linkin Park Lyrics

Taken far from my safety I see it right through you


The picture is there
The memory won’t escape me Now you got me caught in the act
But why should I care You bring the thought back
I’m telling you that
In the memory you’ll find me I see it right through you
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly In the memory you’ll find me
Until the sun rises up Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Moving all around / screaming of the ups and downs Until the sun rises up
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go round and the sunset creeps behind In the memory, you will find me
Street lamps, chain-link and concrete Eyes burning up
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats The darkness holding me tightly
On down the street till the wind is gone Until the sun rises up
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the paper’s crumpled up it can’t be perfect again

From the top to the bottom


Bottom to top I stop
11. Cure for the itch
At the core I’ve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts Instrumental song
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory won’t escape me
But why should I care
12. Pushing me away
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop I’ve lied / to you
At the core I’ve forgotten The same way that I always do
In the middle of my thoughts This is / the last smile
Taken far from my safety That I’ll fake for the sake of being with you
The picture is there
The memory won’t escape me Everything falls apart / even the people who never
But why should I care frown / eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
In the memory you’ll find me Everything has to end / you’ll soon find we’re out of
Eyes burning up time left / to watch it all unwind
The darkness holding me tightly The sacrifice is never knowing
Until the sun rises up Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now you got me caught in the act Now I see your testing me pushes me away
You bring the thought back Why I never walked away
I’m telling you that Why I played myself this way
I see it right through you Now I see your testing me pushes me away
I’ve tried / like you
Now you got me caught in the act To do everything you wanted too
You bring the thought back This is / the last time
I’m telling you that I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
I see it right through you
Everything falls apart / even the people who never
Now you got me caught in the act frown / eventually break down
You bring the thought back The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
I’m telling you that Everything has to end / you’ll soon find we’re out of
I see it right through you time left / to watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing
Now you got me caught in the act Why I never walked away
You bring the thought back Why I played myself this way
I’m telling you that Now I see your testing me pushes me away
I see it right through you Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now you got me caught in the act Now I see your testing me pushes me away
You bring the thought back
I’m telling you that Were all out of time / this is how we learn how it all
I see it right through you unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Now you got me caught in the act Were all out of time / this is how we learn how it all
You bring the thought back unwinds
I’m telling you that The sacrifice is never knowing why...

You love the way, I look at you Park...
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me Then in the middle came Motion Man...
through And at the end of it all it was Kutmasta Kut wit a remix
You take away if I give in [echo]
My life, my pride, is broken
one thing I don't know why
You like to think you're never wrong it doesn't even matter how hard you try
(You like to think you're never wrong) keep that in mind I designed this rhyme when I was
You have to act like you're someone obsessed with time
(You have to act like you're someone) all I know, time was just slipping way
You want someone to hurt like you and I watched it count down till the end of the day
(You want someone to hurt like you) watched it watch me and the words that I say
You wanna share what you've been through the echo of the clock rhythm in my veins
(You live what you've learned) I know that I didn't look out below
Learned, learned, learned, learned, learned(echo fade) and I watched the time go right out the window
trying to grab hold, trying not to watch
You love the things, I say I'll do I wasted it all on the hands of the clock
The way I hurt myself again, just to get back at you but in the end no matter what I pretend
You take away, when I give in the journey is more important than the end or the start
My life, my pride, is broken and what it meant to me will eventually be
a memory of the time when I tried so hard
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong) I tried so hard
You have to act like you're someone and got so far
(You have to act like you're someone) but in the end
You want someone to hurt like you it doesn’t even matter
(You want someone to hurt like you) I had to fall
You wanna share what you've been through to lose it all

but in the end 4. [Chali]


it doesn’t even matter

yo one thing, one thing I don't know why What’s up evich? Glad you could keep me uhh detailed
it doesn't even matter how hard you try Please enter your pa..
keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain the
due time First message
all I know, time to so-socialize like the host of the party Yo Mike; this is Chali 2na, what’s up man?
all for shake and made eye contact I'm just trying to catch up witch ya so we can go on
party control showing all that here and get this song on the roll, pop a d... Ha-ha.
northeast, southwest coast Call me back
stand 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 5. Frgt/10
like the imaginary man of your dreams
well, you would always seem to make it worth it (featuring Alchemist, Chali 2na)
a sleek skin I never nerved you
you felt lovin, I never applied a room From the top to the bottom
without bringing the plan Bottom to top I stop
by any means and means of leaving you teens, At the core I've forgotten
of all those teenage scenes, I tried so hard In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
I tried so hard The picture's there
and got so far The memory won't escape me
but in the end
it doesn’t even matter [Mike]
I had to fall We're stuck in a place so dark, you could hardly see
to lose it all A manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
but in the end And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
it doesn’t even matter I block out the sight of the powers that be
Duck away into the darkness, times up
Linkin park, remix, Mo Mo Mo Motion Man I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
Linkin park, in the end, Kutmasta Kutmasta Kut So tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
Kutmasta Kurt And the eyes ease open and it's dark again
Linkin park, remix, Mo Mo Motion Man
Linkin park, in the end, Kutmasta Kurt From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
one thing I don't know how At the core I've forgotten
it doesn't even matter when you look at it now In the middle of my thoughts
because when I designed this rhyme I was scared of it Taken far from my safety
all The picture's there
scared to fall, I hadn't even tried to crawl The memory won't escape me
and I was forced to run, with you mocking me But why should I care
stopping me, back stabbing me constantly
remembering all those times you fought with me [Chali 2na]
watch the clock now chop full of hypocrisy In the memory you'll find me
and now your mouth wishes it could inhale Eyes burning up
every single little thing you said and make it expel The darkness holding me tightly
every single word you sputter just to get your piece, Until the sun rises up
but it really doesn't matter to me
because from the start to the end no matter what I [Mike]
pretend Listen to the sound, dizzy from the ups and downs
the journey is more important than the end or the start And nauseated by the polluted rock that's all around
and what it meant to me will eventually be Watchin the wheels of cars that pass
a memory of the time when I tried so hard I look past to the last of the light and the long shadows
it casts
I tried so hard A window grows and captures the eye
and got so far And cries out yellow light as it passes me by
but in the end And a young, shadowy figure sits in front of a box
it doesn’t even matter Inside a building of rocks with antennas on top
I had to fall Now, nothing can stop in this land of the pain
to lose it all The same lose, not knowing they were part of the game
but in the end And while the insides change, the box stays the same
it doesn’t even matter.. And the figure inside could bear anybody's name
in the end 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

Reanimation Linkin Park Lyrics

I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night,


shining with the light from the sun
the sun doesn’t give light to the moon
assuming the moons gonna owe it one
and makes think of how you act to me
9. H! Vltg3
you do favors that rapidly (featuring Evidence, DJ Babu, Pharoahe Monch)
you just turn around and start asking me about things
you want back from me Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes....
I’m sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
sick of you acting like I owe you this Hybrid
find another place to feed your greed I've been diggin in crates ever since I was livin in space
while I find a place to rest Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits
I’m sick of the tension, sick of the hunger I mastered numerology, big band theology, performed
sick of you acting like I owe you this lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
find another place to feed your greed Invented the mic to so I can start blessin it
while I find a place to rest. Chin-checkin' kids to make my point like an
impressionist
[Chester] Many men have tried to shake us
I wanna be in another place But I twist mic chords like double helixes to show them
I hate when you say you don’t understand what I'm made of
I wanna be in the energy, right with the enemy I buckle knees like leg braces
a place for my head. cast a spell of instrumentalist on all of you MC's who
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna hate us
So you can try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry
[Zion] on
Two, Two, Three, Three, Ya, Ya, Ya, Gimme ??? From now to infinite, let icon be bygones
I fire bombs, ghostly notes haunt this
[Chester] I tried threats, but moved on to a promise
I wanna be in another place I stomp **** with or without an accomplice
I hate when you say you don’t understand And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
I wanna be in the energy, right with the enemy
a place for my head. High voltage
You try to get the best of me This is the unforgettable sound
go away, go away, go away High voltage
you try to take the best of me, go away (x8) Bringin you up and takin you down
you try to take the best of me. High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
8. X-ecutioner style
Akira, I've put a kink in the backbones, of clones, with
From the top [being scratched over and over] microphones
Shut up [x3] Never satisfied my rhymes Jones
Shut up (when I’m talking to you) Spraying bright day over what you might say
Shut up [x4] My blood types krylon, Technicolor type A
I'm about to... On highways write with road rage
Wasn’t that fun, lets try something else Cages a win, cages a tin, that bounce all around
Forty five caliber killa but outta the filla Surround sound
Dela villa gonna show yall brothers how you not a Devouring the scenes

Smooth talking fully automatic weapon concilla Sing songs karaoke copy bull****
Taste thriller, break thriller, lets hit em' with the bounce Break bones verbally with sticks and stones tactics

Filthy stinkin standin on solid ground Write rhymes with ease while the track stands at
Still be sinkin submerging and the parks attention
Still be Linkin pluck beef when its starts, fuck what your Meant to put you away, with the pencil
thinking, its not a mirage Pistol, official, sixteen line, a rhyme missile
I’m in a mother fuckin tractor from out of the garage While you risk your all
With an if through the duck, but its hard to dodge I pick out at your flaws
In the back of that spine where my dogs' lie Singing rah blah, blah, blah you can say you saw

This is the unforgettable sound Come on!


High voltage
Bringin you up and takin you down I woke up in a dream today
High voltage To the cold of the static
Comin at you from every side And put my cold feet on the floor
High voltage Forgot all about yesterday
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not
anymore
Who's the man, the man in your hand over your land A little taste of hypocrisy
Roving over man's bolding when he's jammin your And I'm left in the wake of the mistake
plans ova Slow to react
I am vics clorousos, the most ferocious Even though you're so close to me
When I spy my third eye, it's extremely high voltage You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back
That's why I need ruby quartz glasses, cause when I
glance at the chest It's true, the way I feel
Then I might blast the masses Was promised by your face
Subliminals transmitted through piano The sound of your voice
Integrated in flow, calculated in nano Painted on my memories
My IU skills are when I mean plea sees the rhyme Even if you're not with me
I hear when I bleed when I proceed through time I'm with you
I walk through the walls and the inanimate obstacles (You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
While educed to the reduction of cells and molecules With you
I bring the knowledge the you swallow like the state of (You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
hologram With you
I bot your head, fat your lip like collagen (You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
A telepath of the another verse with no postage With you
Mike Shinoda, we are high voltage (You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
High voltage Ughhhh!
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage I hit you and you hit me back
Bringin you up and takin you down And we fall to the floor
High voltage The rest of the day stands still
Comin at you from every side Fine line between this and that
High voltage But when things go wrong, I pretend the past isn't real
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide Now I'm trapped in this memory
High voltage And I'm left in the wake of the mistake
This is the unforgettable sound Slow to react
High voltage Even though you're close to me
Bringin you up and takin' you down You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back
High voltage
Comin at you from every side It's true, the way I feel
High voltage Was promised by your face
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide The sound of your voice

(No) Whenever I call nobody's responding at all


No I'm not upset, no I'm not angry But I don't who I could trust they screaming my name
I know love is love and love sometimes, it doesn't pay I need somebody to help me out of the flame
me all I’m tryin to do is just master me all I want to do is
(No) smoke a blaster beat
I'm never without you, I'll always be with you but something keeps talking to me consciously
You'll never forget me, I'm keeping you with me responsibly it keeps haunting me
(No) From dusk till dawn
I wont let you take me to the end of my row Everything has something for ya
Or keep burning and torching my soul That voice inside of your head got to projected,
(No) Paranoia
No I'm not your puppet cold sweat.
And no, no, no, I wont let you go Shining on your face exposing your purpose and if I
ripped off your skin I’d probably find another verse
No, no matter how far we've come Its nothin worse than trying to bring yourself up back
I can't wait to see tomorrow from the dead
No matter how far we've come so I advise you listen to that voice in the back of your
I, I can't wait to see tomorrow head

With you [CHORUS]

With you the face inside is right beneath your skin [4x]
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes) The sun goes down
With you I feel the light betray me [3x]

Graffiti decorations under a sky of grey


This constant apprehension still giving me away
13. PPr:Kut The lessons I've forgotten
Inside of all I've learned
Why does it feel like night today Now I find myself in question
Something in here’s not right today (point the finger at me again)
Why I am so uptight today Guilty by association
Paranoia’s all I got left (point the finger at me again)
I don't know what stressed me first I wanna runaway
Or how the pressure was fed (I wanna runaway)
But I know just what it feels like to I wanna know the truth
have a voice in the back of my head (I wanna know the truth)
Like a face that I hold inside I wanna know the answers
A face that awakes when I close my eyes (I wanna know the answers)
Face that watches everytime I lie I wanna shut the door
Face that laughs everytime I fall (And open up my mind)
and watches everything And open up my mind
So I know that when its time to sink or swim (And open up my mind)
The face inside is hearing me right beneath my skin
Paper bags and angry voices under a sky of grey
[CHORUS] This constant apprehension won't seem to go away
Its like I’m paranoid looking over my back All my talk of starting over
Its like a whirlwind inside of my head These words were never true
Its like I can't stop what I’m hearing within Now I find myself in question
Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin (point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
hey yo, here we go again with the pain I feel isn't real (point the finger at me again)
but in my mind
But I find myself in places with names, but not faces I wanna runaway
My memory races at speeds hundred degrees (I wanna runaway)
My soul (it bleeds?) devil must’ve planted the seed I wanna know the truth
Now it feels like my backs against the wall, I'm taking (I wanna know the truth)
the fall I wanna know the answers

Let me spit it to y'all who said I wasn't gonna make it Take back all the things I said to make you feel like
Every time I blaze it, ya'll the first to hate it that
My team rains supreme and stays strong And I, give it all away
Every 2 series son, they scared to put us on Just to have somewhere to go to
Can't get with the high prince, get off your hatis Give it all away
Too many of y'all is dyin' for us so I gotta blaze it To have someone to come home to
I'm still reppin BK, Brooklyn D and on
Hell fire and family alienation This is my December, This is my time of the year
Banging hits in the backyard This is my December, This is all so clear
Out on the episode
I'm a little kid named Give it all away
Phoenix Orion Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
I wanna runaway To have someone to come home to

I wanna know the truth Give it all away

I wanna know the answers Give it all away

missed Do I follow my instincts blindly
And I Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
Take back all the things I said to make you feel like And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening
that Do I sit here and try to stand it
Or do I try to catch them red-handed
And I, give it all away Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Just to have somewhere to go to Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness
Give it all away Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
To have someone to come home to I make the right moves but I'm lost within

Folks we have a very special guest for you tonight
If I turn my back I'm defenseless (echo fade)
And to go blindly seems senseless BREAK IT DOWN! Cut it up! Using the waves of sound.
If I hide my pride and let it all go on A true master paralyzes his opponent leaving him
Then they'll take from me till everything is gone vulnerable to attack...
If I let them go I'll be outdone Mr. Hahn..
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer (Let's hear it for the great Mr. Hahn)
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer And now for a lesson in r-r-rhythm m-m-m-
management...
By myself (myself) L-l-l-let's begin
I ask why All right now, wasn't that fun?

Don't you(being said repeatedly in the background) I cannot take this anymore
Don't you (know) Saying everything I've said before
I cant tell you how to make it (go) All these words, they make no sense
No mater what I do, how hard I (try) I found bliss in ignorance
I cant seem to convince myself (why) Less I hear, the less you say
I'm stuck on the outside But you'll find that out anyway

And I'm about to


Break! [echo] There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the
surface
These are the places where I can feel Consuming, confusing
Torn from my body, my flesh it peels This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
During this ride, we can cut up what we like Controlling, I cant seem
Waiting alone, I cannot resist To find myself again
Feeling this hate I have never missed My walls are closing in
Please someone give me a reason to rip off my face (Without a sense of confidence, and I’m convinced that
Blood is a pouring there’s just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure...
Blood is pouring [x10]
Crawling in my skin
Shut up when I'm talking to you! These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Shut up! Confusing what is real
Blood is pouring! [x3]
Discomfort endlessly as pulled itself upon me
Shut up when I'm talking to you! Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
Shut up! Its haunting how I cant seem
Blood is pouring! [x3] To find myself again
My walls are closing in
Shut up! (Without a sense of confidence, and I'm convinced that
I'm about to break! there’s just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure...
Everything you say to me
I'm about to break! Without a sense of confidence, confidence...
I need a little room to breathe Without a sense of confidence, confidence...
I'm about to break! Without a sense of confidence, and I’m convinced that
Everything you say to me there’s just too much pressure to take
I'm about to break! Without a sense of confidence, confidence...
I need a little room to breathe Without a sense of confidence, confidence...
And I'm about to- Without a sense of confidence, and I’m convinced that
Everything you say to me there’s just too much pressure to take
Takes me one step closer to the edge To find myself again, my walls are closing in
I'm about to break! (Without a sense of confidence, and I’m convinced that
I need a little room to breathe there’s just too much pressure to take)
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge I've felt this way before, so insecure...
and I'm about to break!
Everything you say to me Crawling in my skin
Takes me one step closer to the edge These wounds, they will not heal
and I'm about to break! Fear is how I fall
I need a little room to breathe Confusing what is real
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge Crawling in my skin
And I'm about to These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence, confidence, confidence...
Consuming, confusing
Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence and I’m convinced that
there’s just too much pressure to take
There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the
surface

I'm crawling in my skin

Fear is how I fall

Confusing, confusing what is real
Confusing what is real...

To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame

Forgot all about yesterday The pace is too fast / You just can't last
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not [x2]
anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy You love the way I look at you
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me
Even though you're so close to me through
You're still so distant You take away if I give in
And I can't bring you back My life
My pride is broken
It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face You like to think you're never wrong
The sound of your voice (You live what you learn)
Painted on my memories You want to act like you're someone
Even if you're not with me (You live what you learn)
I'm with you You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you learn)
You, now I see, keeping everything inside You want to share what you've been through
with you (You live what you learn)
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
You love the things I say I'll do
I hit you and you hit me back The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still You take away when I give in
Fine line between this and that My life
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real My pride is broken
I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react You like to think you're never wrong
So even though you're close to me (You live what you learn)

LP Underground 2.0 Linkin Park Lyrics

Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame You'd lose your grip
Cover up your face / You can't run the race Probably eventually flip
The pace is too fast / You just can't last So let it be known
[x2] The only reason that we do this
Is so you can pick it up
You like to think you're never wrong And just bang your head to it
(You live what you learn) While emcees fight to see who could be the commonest
You want to act like you're someone We float overhead like a space odyssey monolith
(You live what you learn) Overseeing the game
You want someone to hurt like you Over being part of the same
(You live what you learn) Old thing it's all gonna change
You want to share what you've been through In a hurricane of darkness and pain
(You live what you learn) In acidic rain and promises you won't do it again
Meanwhile I just grip my mic
You like to think you're never wrong And hope me and my team make it through alright
(Forfeit the game) Because say what you will
(You live what you learn) And say what you might
You want to act like you're someone But don't ignore who it's for
(Forfeit the game) At the end of the night
(You live what you learn)
You want someone to hurt like you Because this is dedicated to the kids
(Forfeit the game) Dedicated to wherever music lives
(You live what you learn) Dedicated to those tired of the same old same
You want to share what you've been through And dedicated to the people advancing the game
(Forfeit the game) What's real is the kids who know that something's
(You live what you learn) wrong
What's real is the kids who think they don't belong
What's real is the kids who have nowhere to run
Who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun
4. Dedicated (demo 1999) Pulling me close the shadow is warm inside
This is where I feel at home this is my place to hide
I have a dream Pulling me close the shadow is warm inside
Of a scene between the green hills This is where I feel at home this is my place to hide
Clouds pull away and the sunlight's revealed
People don't talk about keeping it real This is dedicated to the kids
It's understood that they actually will Dedicated to wherever music lives
And intoxicated and stimulated emcees Dedicated to those tired of the same old same
Staring in the trees And dedicated to the people advancing the game
Paranoid What's real is the kids who know that something's
Are gone in the breeze wrong
Watch them flee What's real is the kids who think they don't belong
Hip hop heads What's real is the kids who have nowhere to run
Take a walk with me Who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun
And what you'll see is a land
Where the sand's made of crushed up wax This is dedicated to the kids
And the sky beyond you is krylon blue Dedicated to wherever music lives
And everybody speaks in a dialect of rhyme Dedicated to those tired of the same old same
Emcees have left materialism behind them And dedicated to the people advancing the game
Meanwhile I just grip my mic What's real everybody who doesn't feel safe
And hope me and my team make it through alright What's real everybody who knows they're out of place
Because say what you will What's real everybody with nowhere to run
And say what you might Who will hide from the shadows waiting for the sun?
But don't ignore who it's for
At the end of the night

Because this is dedicated to the kids


Dedicated to wherever music lives 5. High voltage (live)
Dedicated to those tired of the same old same
And dedicated to the people advancing the game Lyric not available
What's real is the kids who know that something's
wrong
What's real is the kids who think they don't belong
What's real is the kids who have nowhere to run
Who are hiding in the shadows waiting for the sun
6. My december

I've seen a lot of shit This is my December


I've talked to a bum out on sunset strip This is my time of the year
He asked me how would you feel This is my December
If everybody acted like you didn't exist This is all so clear

Linkin Park Lyrics LP Underground 2.0

This is my December To have someone


This is my snow covered home To come home to
This is my December
This is me alone And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
And I To go to
Just wish that Give it all away
I didn't feel To have someone
Like there was To come home to
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 snow covered dreams
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
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 December
This is all so clear

And I give it all away


Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away

Linkin Park Lyrics Meteora

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
Don’t stay
Don’t stay

METEORA (2003) 3. Somewhere I belong


When this began
I had nothing to say
1. Foreword And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
Instrumental song And I'd let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
Inside of me
When all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
2. Don't stay Nothing to loose
Just stuck, hollow and alone
Sometimes I, need to remember just to breathe And the fault is my own and the fault is my own
Sometimes I, need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know I wanna heal
Somehow I need you to go I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
Don’t stay I want to let go of the pain I felt so long
Forget our memories Erase all the pain till its gone
Forget our possibilities I wanna heal
What you were changing me into I wanna feel
Just give me myself back and Like I’m close to something real
Don’t stay I want to find something I've wanted all along
Forget our memories Somewhere I belong
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you And I've got nothing to say
Just give me myself back and I can't believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
Don’t stay I was confused
Looking everywhere only to find
Sometimes I, feel like I trusted you too well That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
Sometimes I, just feel like screaming at myself So what am I
Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know What do I have but negativity
Somehow I need to be alone Cause I cant justify the way everyone is looking at me
Nothing to loose
Don’t stay Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
Forget our memories And the fault is my own and the fault is my own
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into I wanna heal
Just give me myself back and I wanna feel
Don’t stay What I thought was never real
Forget our memories I want to let go of the pain I felt so long
Forget our possibilities Erase all the pain till its gone
Take all your faithlessness with you I wanna heal
Just give me myself back and I wanna feel
Don’t stay Like I’m close to something real
I want to find something I’ve wanted all along
I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignored Somewhere I belong
I don’t need one more day of you wasting me away
I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignored I will never know
I don’t need one more day of you wasting me away Myself until I do this on my own
With no apologies And I will never feel
Anything else, until my wounds are healed
Don’t stay I will never be anything

Meteora Linkin Park Lyrics

till I break away from me This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that
I will break away what I said would
I'll find myself today have you running from me
Like This
I wanna heal This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that
I wanna feel what I said would
What I thought was never real have you running from me
I want to let go of the pain I felt so long Like This
Erase all the pain till it's gone This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that
I wanna heal what I said would
I wanna feel have you running from me
Like I’m close to something real Like This
I want to find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong (You)
No turning back now
I wanna heal (I wanna be pushed aside so let me go)
I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong No no turning back now
(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone)
I wanna heal No turning back now
I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong (Anywhere on my own cuz I can see)
No no turning back now
Somewhere I belong (The very worst part of you)
(The very worst part of you is me)

4. Lying from you


5. Hit the floor
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see There are just too many times that people have tried to
When I pretend, I can’t forget about the criminal I am look inside of me
Stealing second after second just cause I know I can Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of
but courtesy
I can’t pretend this is the way it’ll stay I’m just Too many times that I’ve held on what I needed to
(Lying to bend the truth) push away
I can’t pretend I’m who you want me to be, so I’m Afraid to say what was on my mind afraid to say what I
need to say
(Lying my way from you) Too many things that you said about me when I’m not
No no turning back now around
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go) You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep
No no turning back now putting me down
(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone) But I’ve had too many standoffs with you it’s about as
No turning back now much as I can stand
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see) So I’m waiting until the upper hand is mine
No no turning back now
(The very worst part of you is me) (One minute you're on top)
Next you're not watch you drop
I remember what they taught to me (Making your heart stop)
Remember condescending talk for who I ought to be Just before you hit the floor
Remember listening to all of that and this again (One minute you're on top)
So I pretended up a person who was fittin’ in Next you're not missed a shot
And now you think this person really is me and I’m (Making you're heart stop)
(Trying to bend the truth) You think you've won
Cuz the more I push the more I’m pulling away cuz I’m (And then it's all gone)

(Lying my way from you) So many people like me put so much trust in all your
No no turning back now lies
(I wanna be pushed aside so let me go) So concerned with what you think to just say what we
No no turning back now feel inside
(Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone) So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
No turning back now All I know is that all I want is to feel like I’m not
(Anywhere on my own cuz I can see) stepped on
No no turning back now There are so many things you say that make me feel
(The very worst part of you) you crossed the line
(The very worst part of you is ME) What goes up will surely fall and I’m counting down the
time
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that Cause I’ve had so many standoffs with you it’s about as
what I said would much as I can stand
have you running from me So I’m waiting until the upper hand is mine
Like This

Linkin Park Lyrics Meteora

(One minute you're on top) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
Next you're not watch you drop (If I could take all the shame to the grave I would)
(Making your heart stop) (If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
Just before you hit the floor (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(One minute you're on top) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
Next you're not missed a shot (I would take all my shame to the grave)
(Making you're heart stop)
You think you've won Just watching in the sun
(And then it's all gone) All of my helplessness inside
(And then he’s all gone) Pretending I don’t feel misplaced
(And then it's all gone) It’s so much simpler to change
(And then he’s all gone)
(Now it’s all gone) It’s easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
I know I’ll never trust a single thing you say It’s so much easier to go
You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway Than face all this pain here all alone
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
But what goes up has got to fall It’s easier to run
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
(One minute you're on top) (Retrace every wrong move that I made)
Next you're not watch you drop It’s easier to go
(Making your heart stop) (If I could change I would take back the pain I would)
Just before you hit the floor (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)
(One minute you're on top) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would)
Next you're not missed a shot (I would take all my shame to the grave)
(Making you're heart stop)
You think you've won
(And then it's all gone)
(And then he’s all gone)
(And then it's all gone) 7. Faint
(And then he’s all gone)
(Now it’s all gone) I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can’t help the fact that
everybody 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,
6. Easier to run to just believe this is real
So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you
It’s easier to run always do
Replacing this pain with something more Face away and pretend that I'm not
It’s so much easier to go But I'll be here cause you want what I've got
Than face all this pain here all alone
(I can't feel the way I did before)
Something has been taken from deep inside of me (Don't turn your back on me)
The secret I’ve kept locked away no one can ever see (I won't be ignored)
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away (Time won't heal this damage anymore)
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years (Don't turn your back on me)
they’ve played (I won't be ignored)

(If I could change I would take back the pain I would) I am a little bit insecure a little unconfident
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) Cause you don't understand I do what I can but
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would) sometimes I don't make sense
(If I could take all the shame to the grave I would) I say what you never wanna say but I've never had a
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would) doubt
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for
(If I could stand up and take the blame I would) once just to hear me out
(I would take all my shame to the grave) So I let go watching you turn your back like you always
do
It’s easier to run Face away and pretend that I'm not
Replacing this pain with something numb But I'll be here 'cause you’re all that I've got
It’s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone (I can't feel the way I did before)
(Don't turn your back on me)
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past (I won't be ignored)
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn’t have (Time won't heal this damage anymore)
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back (Don't turn your back on me)
And never moving forward so there’d never be a path (I won't be ignored)

(If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Now)
(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (Hear me out now)

Meteora Linkin Park Lyrics

(You're gonna listen to me, like it or not) (Giving up a part of me)


(Right now) (I've let myself become you)
(Hear me out now)
(You're gonna listen to me, like it or not) (Never goes away)
(Right now) (Never goes away)
(Never goes away)

(And then)
8. Figure.09 (You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here)
Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain (You've become a part of me)
attached to them (You'll always be my fear)
Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin' (I can't separate)
It's like nothing I can do would distract me when (Myself from what I've done)
I think of how I shot myself in the back again (Giving up a part of me)
Cuz from the infinite words I can say I (I've let myself become you)
Put all pain you gave to me on display (I've let myself become you)
But didn't realize instead of setting it free I (I've let myself become)
Took what I hated and made it a part of me (lost inside these thoughts of you)
(giving up a part of me)
(Never goes away) (I've let myself become you)
(Never goes away)

(And now)
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be right here) 9. Breaking the habit
(You've become a part of me)
(You'll always be my fear) Memories consume
(I can't separate) Like opening the wound
(Myself from what I've done) I'm picking me apart again
(Giving up a part of me) You all assume
(I've let myself become you) I'm safer in my room
Unless I try to start again
Hearing your name the memories come back again
I remember when it started happening I don't want to be the one
I see you n’ every thought I had and then Who battles always choose
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them Cuz inside I realize
And I knew as they escaped away That I'm the one confused
I was committing myself to em n’ everyday
I regret saying those things cuz now I see that I I don't know what's worth fighting for
Took what I hated and made it a part of me Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
(Never goes away) And say what I don't mean
(Never goes away) I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
(And now) So I'm breaking a habit
(You've become a part of me) I'm breaking a habit tonight
(You'll always be right here)
(You've become a part of me) Cultured my cure
(You'll always be my fear) I tightly lock the door
(I can't separate) I try to catch my breath again
(Myself from what I've done) I hurt much more

Linkin Park Lyrics Meteora

Than anytime before I won’t waste myself on you


I have no options left again You
You
I don’t want to be the one Waste myself on you
Who battles always choose You
Cuz inside I realize You
That I'm the one confused
I’ll take everything from the inside and throw it all
I don't know what's worth fighting for away
Or why I have to scream Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with
I don't know why I instigate you
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way Everything from the inside and just throw it all away
I'll never be alright Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with
So, I'm breaking a habit you
I'm breaking a habit tonight You
You
I'll paint it on the walls
Cuz I'm the one that falls
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
11. Nobody's listening
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
But now I have some clarity The number one question is how could you ignore it
to show you what I mean And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
I don't know how I got this way Rap stack got you back in the sub black
I'll never be alright Rewind that we just rolling with the rhythm
So, I'm breaking a habit Rise from the ashes of stylist division
I'm breaking the habit With these non-stop lyrics of life living
I'm breaking a habit tonight 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
10. From the inside And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt it goes

I don’t know who to trust (Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
your surprise Told you everything loud and clear
(Everyone feels so far away from me) (But nobody’s listening)
Happy thoughts sift through dust (Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear
and the lies me)
(Trying not to break but I’m so tired of this deceit) Told you everything loud and clear
(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my (But nobody’s listening)
feet)
(All I ever think about is this) I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
(All the tiring time between) Head full of anger, held in my chest
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so And everything left’s a waste of time
much out of me) I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else’s more
I’m riding on the back of this pressure
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away Guessing that it’s better I can’t keep myself together
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with Because all of this stress gave me something to write
you on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Tension is building inside steadily Never forget the blood sweat and tears
(Everyone feels so far away from me) The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Happy thoughts forcing their way Trash talking and the people it was to
out of me And the people that started it just like you
(Trying not to break but I’m so tired of this deceit)
(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my (Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me)
feet) Told you everything loud and clear
(All I ever think about is this) (But nobody’s listening)
(All the tiring time between) (Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so me)
much out of me) Told you everything loud and clear
(But nobody’s listening)
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
you Head full of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle

Meteora Linkin Park Lyrics

Blood sweat n tears afraid to lose control


Nothing to gain cause everything that you thought I would be
Everything to fear has fallen apart
right in front of you
Heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest (C aught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow)
Uphill struggle Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Blood sweat n tears (C aught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow)
Nothing to gain And every second I waste is more than I can take
Everything to fear
I've
Heart full of pain become so numb
I can't feel you there
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me) become so tired
Told you everything loud and clear so much more aware
(But nobody’s listening) I'm becoming this
(Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear all I want to do
me) is be more like me
Told you everything loud and clear and be less like you
(But nobody’s listening)
And I know
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress I may end up failing too
(Nobody’s listening) But I know
Head full of anger, held in my chest You were just like me with someone disappointed in
(Nobody’s listening) you
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat n tears I've
(Nobody’s listening) become so numb
Nothing to gain I can't feel you there
Everything to fear become so tired
(Nobody’s listening) so much more aware
I'm becoming this
Scratching Conclusion (Cu-coming at you from every all I want to do
side) is be more like me
and be less like you

I've become so numb


I can't feel you there
12. Session Is everything what you want me to be
I've become so numb
Instrumental song I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be

13. 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

(C aught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow)


Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(C aught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow)

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

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 it, 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 grown-up for real

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

It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and B.U.N.B-B-B
Hahaha, wasting your talent Randy!
Yeah, you're ready?

It's like I'm paranoid, lookin' over my back


It's like a whirlwind inside of my head 3. Jigga what/Faint
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right Uh, uh, Jigga What?
Uh, uh, Jigga Who?
Come on! Uh, uh, Jigga What?
Uh, uh, Jigga Who?
Why does it feel like night today? Uh, uh, Jigga What?
Something in here is not right today
Why am I so uptight today? You gonna need a vocal here right?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first Motherfuckers wanna act loco, hit 'em wit', numerous
Or how the pressure was fed shots with the fo'-fo'
But I know just what it feels like Faggots runnin' to the Po-Po's, smoke 'em like cocoa
To have a voice in the back of my head Fuck rap, coke by the boatload
It's like a face that I hold inside Fuck dat, on the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
A face that awakes when I close my eyes Left holes through some guy clothes
A face that watches everytime they lie Stop your bullshittin', glock with the full clip
A face that laughs everytime they fall Motherfuckers better duck when the fool spit
(And watches everything) One shot could make a nigga do a full flip
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim See the nigga layin' shocked when the bullet hit
That face inside is hearing me And hey ma, how you, know nigga'z wanna buy you
Right underneath my skin But see me I wanna fuck for free, like Akinyele
Take this ride 'til you feel it inside ya belly
It's like I'm paranoid, lookin' over my back If it's tight get the K-Y Jelly
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head All night get you wide up inside the telly
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within Side to side, 'til you say Jay-Z you're too much for me
It's like the face inside is right
I am
You know I - thug 'em, fuck 'em, love 'em, leave 'em A little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard
Cause I don't fuckin' need em Handful of complaints but I can’t help the fact
Take 'em out the hood, keep 'em lookin' good That everybody can see these scars
But I don't fuckin' feed 'em I am
First time they fuss I'm breezin' What I want you to want what I want you to feel
Talkin 'bout, "What's the reasons?" But it's like no matter what I do I can't convince you
I'm a pimp in every sense of the word, bitch To just believe this is real
Better trust than believe' em So I
In the cut where I keep 'em Let go watching you turn your back like you always do
'til I need a nut, 'til I need to beat the guts Face away and pretend that I'm not
Then it's, beep beep and I'm pickin' 'em up But I'll be here cause your all that I've got
Let 'em play with the dick in the truck
Many chicks wanna put Jigga fist in cuffs Got a condo with nuttin' but condoms in it
Divorce him and split his bucks The same place where the rhymes is invented
Just because you got good head, I'm a break bread So all I do is rap and sex, imagine how I stroke
So you can be livin' it up? Shit I.. See how I was flowin' on my last cassette?
Parts with nothin', y'all be frontin' Rapid-fire like I'm blastin a tec, never jam though
Me give my heart to a woman? Never get high, never run out of ammo
Not for nothin', never happen Nigga'z hatin' 'n' shit cause I slayed your bitch
I'll be forever mackin' You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
Heart cold as assassins, I got no passion And now you're, actin' raw but you never had war
I got no patience Don't know how to carry your hoe, wanna marry your
And I hate waitin'... hoe
Hoe get yo' ass in Now she's mad at me, cause your majesty, just
And let's ri-i-i-i-i-ide... check 'em out now happened to be
ri-i-i-i-i-ide, yeah A pimp with a tragedy
And let's ri-i-i-i-i-ide... check 'em out now She wanted, us to end, cause I fucked her friend
ri-i-i-i-i-ide, yeah She gave me one more chance and I fucked her again
I seen her tears as she busted in, I said
We doin'... big pimpin', we spendin' G's "Shit there's a draft, shut the door bitch and come on
Check 'em out now in!"
Big pimpin', on B.L.A.D.'s
We doin'... big pimpin' up in N.Y.C. I am
It's just that Jigga Man, Pimp C, and B.U.N.B A little bit insecure a little unconfident
Yo yo yo... big pimpin', spendin' G's Cause you don't understand I do what I can

Linkin Park Lyrics Collision Course

But sometimes I don't make sense


I am Who you know fresher than Hov'? Riddle me that
What you never wanna say but I've never had a doubt The rest of y'all know where I'm lyrically at
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you Can't none of y'all mirror me back
For once just to hear me out Yeah hearin me rap is like hearin G. Rap in his prime
So I I'm, young H.O., rap's Grateful Dead
Let go watching you turn your back like you always do Back to take over the globe, now break bread
Face away and pretend that I'm not I'm in, Boeing jets, Global Express
But I'll be here 'cause you’re all that I've got Out the country but the blueberry still connect
On the low but the yacht got a triple deck
I can't feel the way I did before But when you Young, what the f*** you expect? (Yep,
Don't turn your back on me yep)
I won't be ignored Grand openin, grand closin
Time won't heal this damage anymore God your man Hov' cracked the can open again
Don't turn your back on me Who you gon' find doper than him with no pen
I won't be ignored just draw off inspiration
Soon you gon' see you can't replace him
Now with cheap imitations for DESE GENERATIONS
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me, like it or not
Right now [Repeat Chorus]
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me, like it or not
Right now {What the hell are you waiting forrrr?}

I can't feel the way I did before


Don't turn your back on me [JAY-Z: Verse Two]
I won't be ignored
{*sighs*} Look what you made me do, look what I
I can't feel the way I did before made for you
Don't turn your back on me Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you
I won't be ignored When you first come in the game, they try to play you
Time won't heal this damage anymore Then you drop a couple of hits, look how they wave to
Don't turn your back on me you
I won't be ignored From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years
I can't feel (yea)
Don't turn your back on me As fate would have it, Jay's status appears
I won't be ignored to be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye
Time won't heal When I come back like Jordan, wearin the 4-5
Don't turn your back on me It ain't to play games witchu
I won't be ignored It's to aim at you, probably maim you
If I owe you I'm blowin you to smithereeens
c***sucker take one for your team
And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)
I came, I saw, I conquered
4. Numb/Encore From record sales, to sold out concerts
So muh'f***er if you want this encore
[JAY-Z] I need you to scream, 'til your lungs get sore

Thank you, thank you, thank you, you're far too kind
[LINKIN PARK: Verse]

[JAY-Z: Chorus] I'm tired of being what you want me to be


Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Now can I get an encore, do you want more Don't know what you're expecting of me
Cookin raw with the Brooklyn boy But under the pressure of walking in your shoes
So for one last time I need y'all to roar.. (yeah, whoo!) (Caught in the undertone, just caught in the undertone)
Now what the hell are you waitin for Every step that I take is another mistake to you
After me, there shall be no more (Caught in the undertone, just caught in the undertone)
So for one last time, nigga make some noise And every second I waste is more than I can take

[MIKE SHINODA] [LINKIN PARK: Chorus]

Get 'em J.. I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I've become so tired, so much more aware
I've becoming this, all I want to do
[JAY-Z: Verse One] Is be more like me and be less like you

Collision Course Linkin Park Lyrics

To explain in due time


[LINKIN PARK] All I know
Time is a valuable thing
I've become so numb.. Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
[JAY-Z] It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Can I get an encore, do you want more (more more Watch the time go right out the window
more).. Trying to hold on and didn’t even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all
[LINKIN PARK] fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a
I've become so numb.. time when
I tried so

[JAY-Z] H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A


LP, Jay-Z, Help me out
So for one last time I need y'all to roar We'll have a good old time out there

Fo' shizzle my nizzle used to dribble down in VA He's got the rap patrol on the gat patrol
Was herbin' 'em in the home of the terrapins Foes that wanna make sure his casket's closed
Got it dirt cheap for them Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes"
Plus if they was short wit' cheese I would work wit'
He's from the hood stupid what type of facts are those
them
If you grew up with holes in your zapitos
Boy and we got rid of that dirt for them
You'd celebrate the minute you was havin' doe
Wasn't born hustlers I was burpin' 'em
So fuck critics you can kiss our whole assholes
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
You don't like our lyrics you can press fast forward
Fo' sheezy my neezy keep my arms so freezy
Got beef with radio if we don't play they show
Can't leave rap alone the game needs me
They don't play our hits well we don't give a shit, so
Haters want me clapped and chromed it ain't easy
All these mags trying to use our ass
Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in
So advertisers can give em more cash for ads...fuckers
But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky
I don't know what you take us as
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A
Or understand the intellegence that Jay-Z has
Not guilty, he who does not feel me is not real to me

Therefore he doesn't exist We got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one
So poof... vamoose son of a bitch Hit me!

That's the anthem get'cha damn hands up
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw
Not guilty ya'll gotta feel me In my rear view mirror is the mother fuckin' law
H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A (Check it out) I got two choices ya'll pull over the car or
Yo, It starts with one thing... Bounce on the devil put the pedal to the floor
Now i ain't tryin to see no highway chase with jake

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme And i heard "Son do you know why i'm stoppin' you

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

Half-a-mil for bail 'cause i'm African
All because ths fool was harrasin' them
Tryin to play the boy like hes saccarin'

Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology That shits brand new

Chincheckin kids to make my point like an impressionist It is constantly changing

But I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them Sometimes...

Leave you without a shoulder to cry on Try to create something

Its going down Wake me till the morning after
Once again it is
Composed sentences all together venomous Cut my peace by the flower again
The four elements of natural force Lick my wounds like a dove again
Projected daily through the sound of the source Is that a light at the end of the tunnel

Wake me till the morning after 5. Karma killer (Cyclefly)


Oh I'm so tired there has got to be an end (featuring Chester Bennington)
to the pain I feel when I'm
awake and alive alive alive I spread through the morning
alive and not dreamin' I'm kicking in the twilight as she comes
Time waits at a darling
Caught up against the war again Spooning the thickness and feeding our open mouths
Time to chill in the bar again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel The price you pay is always
That I see I see please let it be but don't
Too high, or too familiar
Wake me till the morning after Sunshine, Karma Killer
Wake me till the morning after
Wake me till the morning after Time waits at the darling
When your following the animals around (around)
Oh I'm so tired there has got to be an end I spread through the morning
to the pain I feel when I'm Feeding our open mouths and spooning the thickness
Awake and alive alive alive out
Alive and not dreamin'
The price you pay is always

Too high, or too familiar

4. Wonderful (Stone temple pilots)
(featuring Chester Bennington) Too high, or too familiar

If I were to die this mornin'
Would you tell me things that you wouldn't have? My eyes are weary now
Would you be my navigator? My eyes are weary
Would you take me to a place we could hide? My eyes are weary now

As I'm fallin' out Too high, or too familiar


I wonder what I lost Sunshine, Karma Killer
Must be movin' on Too high, or too familiar
Know I'll be safe but not alone Sunshine, Karma Killer

I wanna ask you to forgive me Karma Killer


I haven't been the best with all that I had Will I ever miss you?
Wish I'd only laid beside you
I think I spread myself a little too thin

As I'm fallin' out 6. System (Chester Bennington)


I wonder what I lost
Must be movin' on (Queen of the damned OST)
Know I'll be safe but not alone
Sys...tem...
You're the everything Sys...tem...
That led me to believe, Sys...tem...
"Hold on, hold on"
You're the wonder in everything You fell away
That's wonderful What more can I say?
The feelings evolved
As I'm fadin' out I won't let it out
I don't feel anything at all I can't replace
Must be movin' on Your screaming face
Know you'll be safe but not alone Feeling the sickness inside

You're the everything Why won't you die?


That led me to believe, Your blood in mine
"Hold on, hold on" Will be fine
You're the wonder in everything Then your body will be mine
That's wonderful
So many words
Know you'll be safe but not alone Can't describe my face
This feeling's evolved
So soon to great bounds
I can't relate
to a happy state
Feeling the blood run inside

I find I can´t rely on myself


Why won't you die? In my mind I find
Your blood in mine
Will be fine I can't hold on
Then your body will be mine To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
Why is everything so fucking hard for me? I can't hold on
Keep me down to watch you... To anything watching everything spin
Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry? With thoughts of failure sinking in
Keep on trying, I'm not done so easily (I will not die)
How do you think
Why is everything so fucking hard for me? (I will not I've lost so much
die) I'm so afraid
Why is everything so fucking hard for me? (I will not I'm out of to uch
die) How do you expect
I will know what to do
Why won't you die? When all I know
Your blood in mine Is what you tell me to
Will be fine
Then your body will be mine Don't you know
Why won't you die? I can't tell you how to make it go
Your blood in mine No matter what I do, how hard I try
Will be fine I can't seem to convince myself why
Then your body will be mine I'm stuck on the outside

Don't you know


I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
7. By myself (Marylin Manson remix) I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside
What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly? I can't hold on
Do I hide my pride / from these bad dreams To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening? It's all too much to take in
Do I / sit here and try to stand it? I can't hold on
Or do I / try to catch them red - handed? To anything watching everything spin
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness, With thoughts of failure sinking in
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on / when I'm stretched so thin I can't hold on
I make the right moves but I'm lost within To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
I put on my daily façade but then It's all too much to take in
I just end up getting hurt again I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
By myself [myself] With thoughts of failure sinking in
I ask why [myself]
I can't rely on myself [myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can´t rely on myself

I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
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]
I ask why [myself]
I can't rely on myself [myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
