Papercut~~Why does it feel like night today ~ Something in here's not right today ~ Why am I so uptight today ~ Paranoia's all I got left ~ I don't know what stressed me first ~ Or how the pressure was fed ~ But I know just what it feels like ~ To have a voice in the back of my head ~ It's like a face that I hold inside ~ A face that awakes when I close my eyes ~ A face that watches every time I lie ~ A face that laughs every time I fall ~ It watches everything ~ So I know that when it's time to sink or swim ~ That the face inside is hearing me ~ Right beneath my skin ~ It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back ~ It's like a whirlwind inside of my head ~ It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within ~ It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin ~ I know I've got a face in me ~ Points out all my mistakes to me ~ You've got a face on the inside too ~ Your paranoia's probably worse ~ I don't know what set me off first ~ But I know what I can't stand ~ Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is ~ I can't add up to what you can but ~ Everybody has a face that they hold inside ~ A face that awakes when I close my eyes ~ A face that watches every time they lie ~ A face that laughs every time they fall ~ It watches everything ~ So you know that when it's time to sink or swim ~ That the face inside is watching you too ~ Right inside your skin ~ It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back ~ It's like a whirlwind inside of my head ~ It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within ~ It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin ~ It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back ~ It's like a whirlwind inside of my head ~ It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within ~ It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin ~ The face inside is right beneath your skin ~ The face inside is right beneath your skin ~ The face inside is right beneath your skin ~ The sun goes down, I feel the light betray me ~ The sun goes down, I feel the light betray me ~ The sun goes down, I feel the light betray me ~ The sun goes down, I feel the light betray me ~ It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back ~ It's like a whirlwind inside of my head ~ It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within ~ It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin~~

One Step Closer~~I cannot take this anymore ~ Saying everything I've said before ~ All these words they make no sense ~ I find bliss in ignorance ~ Less I hear the less you'll say ~ You'll find that out anyway ~ Just like before ~ Everything you say to me takes me one step closer ~ To the edge and I'm about to break ~ I need a little room to breathe cause I'm one step closer ~ To the edge and I'm about to break ~ I find the answers aren't so clear ~ Wish I could find a way to disappear ~ All these thoughts they make no sense ~ I find bliss in ignorance ~ Nothing seems to go away ~ Over and over again ~ Just like before ~ Everything you say to me takes me one step closer ~ To the edge and I'm about to break ~ I need a little room to breathe cause I'm one step closer ~ To the edge and I'm about to break ~ Everything you say to me takes me one step closer ~ To the edge and I'm about to break ~ I need a little room to breathe cause I'm one step closer ~ To the edge and I'm about to break, break, break, break ~ Shut up when I'm talking to you ~ Shut up, shut up, shut up ~ Shut up when I'm talking to you ~ Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up ~ I'm about to break ~ Everything you say to me takes me one step closer ~ To the edge and I'm about to break ~ I need a little room to breathe cause I'm one step closer ~ To the edge and I'm about to break ~ Everything you say to me takes me one step closer ~ To the edge and I'm about to break ~ I need a little room to breathe cause I'm one step closer ~ To the edge and I'm about to break~~

With You~~I woke up in a dream today ~ To the cold and the static ~ And put my cold feet on the floor ~ Forgot all about yesterday ~ Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore ~ A little taste of hypocrisy ~ And I�m left in the wake of the mistake ~ Slow to react ~ Even though you're so close to me ~ You're still so distant ~ And I can't bring you back ~ It's true, the way I feel ~ Was promised by your face ~ The sound of your voice ~ Painted on my memories ~ Even if you're not with me ~ I'm with you ~ You, now I see, keeping everything inside ~ With you, you, now I see, even when I close my eyes ~ I hit you and you hit me back ~ We fall to the floor ~ The rest of the day stands still ~ Fine line between this and that ~ When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real ~ Now I'm trapped in this memory ~ And I'm left in the wake of the mistake ~ Slow to react ~ Even though you're close to me ~ You're still so distant ~ And I can't bring you back ~ It's true, the way I feel ~ Was promised by your face ~ The sound of your voice ~ Painted on my memories ~ Even if you're not with me ~ I'm with you ~ You, now I see, keeping everything inside ~ With you, you, now I see, even when I close my eyes ~ You, now I see, keeping everything inside ~ With you, you, now I see, even when I close my eyes ~ No, no matter how far we've come ~ I can't wait to see tomorrow ~ With you ~ You, now I see, keeping everything inside ~ With you, you, now I see, even when I close my eyes ~ You, now I see, keeping everything inside ~ With you, you, now I see, even when I close my eyes~~

Crawling~~Crawling in my skin ~ These wounds they will not heal ~ Fear is how I fall ~ Confusing what is real ~ There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface ~ Consuming, confusing ~ This lack of self control I feel is never ending ~ Controlling, I can't seem to find myself again ~ My walls are closing in ~ Doubt and sense and confidence ~ I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take ~ I've felt this way before, so insecure ~ Crawling in my skin ~ These wounds they will not heal ~ Fear is how I fall ~ Confusing what is real ~ Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me ~ Distracting, reacting ~ Against my will I stand beside my own reflection ~ It's haunting how I can't seem to find myself again ~ My walls are closing in ~ Doubt and sense and confidence ~ I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take ~ I've felt this way before, so insecure ~ Crawling in my skin ~ These wounds they will not heal ~ Fear is how I fall ~ Confusing what is real ~ Crawling in my skin ~ These wounds they will not heal ~ Fear is how I fall ~ Confusing, confusing what is real ~ There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface ~ Consuming, confusing what is real ~ This lack of self control I feel is never ending ~ Controlling, confusing what is real~~

Runaway~~Graffiti decorations ~ Under a sky of dust ~ A constant wave of tension ~ On top of broken trust ~ The lessons that you taught me ~ I learned were never true ~ Now I find myself in question ~ They point the finger at me again ~ Guilty by association ~ You point the finger at me again ~ I want to run away, never say good-bye ~ I want to know the truth instead of wondering why ~ I want to know the answers, no more lies ~ I want to shut the door and open up my mind ~ Paper bags and angry voices ~ Under a sky of dust ~ Another wave of tension ~ Has more than filled me up ~ All my talk of taking action ~ These words were never true ~ Now I find myself in question ~ They point the finger at me again ~ Guilty by association ~ You point the finger at me again ~ I want to run away, never say good-bye ~ I want to know the truth instead of wondering why ~ I want to know the answers, no more lies ~ I want to shut the door and open up my mind ~ I'm going to run away and never say goodbye ~ Going to run away, going to run away, going to run away, going to run away ~ I'm going to run away and never wonder why ~ Going to run away, going to run away, going to run away, going to run away ~ I'm going to run away and open up my mind ~ Going to run away, going to run away, going to run away, going to run away ~ Going to run away, going to run away, going to run away, going to run away ~ I want to run away, never say good-bye ~ I want to know the truth instead of wondering why ~ I want to know the answers, no more lies ~ I want to shut the door and open up my mind ~ I want to run away and open up my mind ~ I want to run away and open up my mind ~ I want to run away and open up my mind ~ I want to run away and open up my mind~~

By Myself~~What do I do to ignore them behind me ~ Do I follow my instincts blindly ~ Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams ~ And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening ~ Do I sit here and try to stand it ~ Or do I try to catch them red handed ~ Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness ~ Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness ~ Because I can't hold on ~ When I'm stretched so thin ~ I make the right moves but I'm lost within ~ I put on my daily facade but then ~ I just end up getting hurt again ~ By myself, myself ~ I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself ~ 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, 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 out of touch ~ How do you expect I will know what to do ~ When all you know is what you tell me to ~ Don't you know ~ I can't tell you how to make it no ~ No matter what I do, how hard I try ~ I can't seem to convince myself why ~ I'm stuck on the outside ~ Don't you know ~ I can't tell you how to make it no ~ No matter what I do, how hard I try ~ I can't seem to convince myself why ~ I'm stuck on the outside ~ I can't hold on to what I want when I'm stretched so thin ~ It's all too much to take in ~ I can't hold on to anything, watching everything spin ~ With thoughts of failure sinking in ~ I can't hold on to what I want when I'm stretched so thin ~ It's all too much to take in ~ I can't hold on to anything, watching everything spin ~ With thoughts of failure sinking~~

In the End~~It starts with one ~ One thing, I don't know why ~ It doesn't even matter how hard you try ~ Keep that in mind ~ I designed this rhyme to explain in due time ~ All I know ~ Time is a valuable thing ~ Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings ~ Watch it count down to the end of the day ~ The clock ticks life away ~ It's so unreal ~ Didn't look out below ~ Watch the time go right out the window ~ Trying to hold on, but didn't even know ~ I wasted it all just to watch you go ~ And even though I tried, it all fell apart ~ What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when ~ I tried so hard and got so far ~ But in the end, it doesn't even matter ~ I had to fall to lose it all ~ But in the end, it doesn't even matter ~ One thing, I don't know why ~ It doesn't even matter how hard you try ~ Keep that in mind ~ I designed this rhyme to remind myself how I tried so hard ~ In spite of the way you were mocking me ~ Acting like I was part of your property ~ Remembering all the times you fought with me ~ I'm surprised it got so far ~ Things aren't the way they were before ~ You wouldn't even recognize me anymore ~ Not that you knew me back then ~ But it all comes back to me in the end ~ And even though I tried, it all fell apart ~ What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when ~ I tried so hard and got so far ~ But in the end, it doesn't even matter ~ I had to fall to lose it all ~ But in the end, it doesn't even matter ~ I've put my trust in you ~ Pushed as far as I can go ~ For all this, there's only one thing you should know ~ I've put my trust in you ~ Pushed as far as I can go ~ For all this, there's only one thing you should know ~ I tried so hard and got so far ~ But in the end, it doesn't even matter ~ I had to fall to lose it all ~ But in the end, it doesn't even matter~~

A Place for My Head~~I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night ~ Shining with the light from the sun ~ But the sun doesn't give the light to the moon assuming ~ The moon's going to owe it one ~ It makes me think of how you act to me ~ You do favors then rapidly ~ You just turn around and start asking me ~ About things that you want back from me ~ I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger ~ Sick of you acting like I owe you this ~ Find another place to feed your greed ~ While I find a place to rest ~ I want to be in another place ~ I hate when you say you don't understand ~ You'll see it's not meant to be ~ I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy ~ A place for my head ~ Maybe someday I'll be just like you ~ And step on people like you do ~ And run away all the people I thought I knew ~ I remember back then who you were ~ You used to be calm, used to be strong, used to be generous ~ You should've known that you'd wear out your welcome ~ And now you see how quiet it is all alone ~ I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger ~ Sick of you acting like I owe you this ~ Find another place to feed your greed ~ While I find a place to rest ~ I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger ~ Sick of you acting like I owe you this ~ Find another place to feed your greed ~ While I find a place to rest ~ I want to be in another place ~ I hate when you say you don't understand ~ You'll see it's not meant to be ~ I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy ~ A place for my head ~ You try to take the best of me, go away ~ You try to take the best of me, go away ~ You try to take the best of me, go away ~ You try to take the best of me, go away ~ You try to take the best of me, go away ~ You try to take the best of me, go away ~ You try to take the best of me, go away ~ You try to take the best of me, go away ~ I want to be in another place ~ I hate when you say you don't understand ~ You'll see it's not meant to be ~ I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy ~ A place for my head ~ Shut up, why ~ I am so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger ~ Sick of you acting like I owe you this ~ Find another place to feed your greed ~ While I find a place to rest ~ I'm so sick of the tension ~ Sick of the hunger ~ Sick of you acting like I owe you this ~ Find another place to feed your greed ~ Get away from me ~ While I find a place to rest~~

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

Pushing Me Away~~I've lied to you the same way that I always do ~ This is the last smile ~ That I'll fake for the sake of being with you ~ Everything falls apart ~ Even the people who never frown eventually break down ~ The sacrifice of hiding in a lie ~ Everything has to end ~ You'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind ~ The sacrifice is never knowing ~ Why I never walked away ~ Why I played myself this way ~ Now I see your testing me pushes me away ~ Why I never walked away ~ Why I played myself this way ~ Now I see your testing me pushes me away ~ I've tried, like you, to do everything you wanted to ~ This is the last time, I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you ~ Everything falls apart ~ Even the people who never frown eventually break down ~ The sacrifice of hiding in a lie ~ Everything has to end ~ You'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind ~ The sacrifice is never knowing ~ Why I never walked away ~ Why I played myself this way ~ Now I see your testing me pushes me away ~ Why I never walked away ~ Why I played myself this way ~ Now I see your testing me pushes me away ~ We're all out of time this is how we find how it all unwinds ~ The sacrifice of hiding in a lie ~ We're all out of time this is how we find how it all unwinds ~ The sacrifice is never knowing ~ Why I never walked away ~ Why I played myself this way ~ Now I see your testing me pushes me away ~ Why I never walked away ~ Why I played myself this way ~ Now I see your testing me pushes me away ~ Pushes me away~~
