[LINKIN PARK].HKR >> Lyrics

sometimes i
need to remember just to breathe
sometimes i
need you to stay away from me
sometimes i'm
in disbelief i didn't know
somehow i
need you to go
sometimes i
feel like i trusted you too well
sometimes i
just feel like screaming at myself
sometimes i'm
in disbelief i didn't know
somehow i
need to be alone

don't stay
forget our memories
forget our possibilities
what you were changing me into
[just give me myself back and]
don't stay
forget our memories
forget our possibilities
take all your faithlessness with you
[just give me myself back and]
don't stay

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

with no apologies

Somewhere I Belong

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

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

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

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

I want to heal
I want to feel like I'm
Somewhere i belong

Lying from You

when i pretend
everything is what i want it to be
i look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
when i pretend
i can forget about the criminal i am
stealing second after second just cause i know i can / but
i can't pretend this is the way it will stay / i'm just
trying to bend the truth
i can't pretend i'm who you want me to be
so i'm
lying my way from you

[no / no turning back now]
i wanna be pushed aside
so let me go
[no / no turning back now]
let me take back my life
i'd rather be all alone
[no turning back now]
anywhere on my own
cause i can see
[no / no turning back now]
the very worst part of you
is me

i remember what they taught to me
remember condescending talk of who i ought to be
remember listening to all of that and this again
so i pretended up a person who was fitting in
and now you think this person really is me and i'm
[trying to bend the truth]
but the more i push
the more i'm pulling away
'cause i'm

lying my way from you

this isn't what i wanted to be
i never thought that what i said
would have you running from me
like this

the very worst part of you
the very worst part of you
is me

Hit the Floor

there are just too many
times that people
have have tried to look inside of me
wondering what i think of you
and i protect you out of courtesy
too many times that i've
held on when i needed to push away
afraid to say what was on my mind
afraid to say what i need to say
too many
things that you've said about me
when i'm not around
you think having the upper hand
means you've got to keep putting me down
but i've had too many stand-offs with you
it's about as much as i can stand
just wait until the upper hand
is mine
so many people like me
put so much trust in all your lies
so concerned with what you think
to just say what we feel inside
so many people like me
walk on eggshells all day long
all i know is that all i want
is to feel like i'm not stepped on
there are so many things you say
that make me feel like you've crossed the line
what goes up will surely fall
and i'm counting down the time
cause i've had so many stand-offs with you
it's about as much as i can stand
so i'm waiting until the upper hand
is mine

one minute you're on top
the next you're not
watch it drop
making your heart stop
just before you hit the floor
one minute you're on top
the next you're not
missed your shot
making your heart stop
you think you won

and then it's all gone

i know i'll never trust a single thing you say
you knew your lies would divide us
but you lied anyway
and all the lies have got you floating
up above us all
but what goes up has got to fall

Easier to Run

its easier to run
replacing this pain with something numb
its so much easier to go
than face all this pain here all alone
something has been taken
from deep inside of me
a secret i've kept locked away
no one can ever see
wounds so deep they never show
they never go away
like moving pictures in my head
for years and years they've played

if i could change i would
take back the pain i would
retrace every wrong move that i made i would
if i could
stand up and take the blame i would
if i could take all the shame to the grave i would

sometimes i remember
the darkness of my past
bringing back these memories
i wish i didn't have
sometimes i think of letting go
and never looking back
and never moving forward so
there would never be a past

just washing it aside
all of the helplessness inside
pretending i don't feel so misplaced
is so much simpler than change

its easier to run
replacing this pain with something numb
its so much easier to go
than face all this pain here all alone

Faint

i am
little bit of loneliness
a little bit of disregard
a handful of complaints
but i can't help the fact
that everyone can see these scars
i am
what i want you to want
what i want you to feel
but it's like
no matter what i do
i can't convince you
to just believe this is real
so i let go
watching you
turn your back like you always do
face away and pretend that i'm not
but i'll be here
cause you're all i got
i am
a little bit insecure
a little unconfident
cause you don't understand
i do what i can
but sometimes i don't make sense
i am
what you never want to say
but i've never had a doubt
it's like no matter what i do
i can't convince you
for once just to hear me out
so i let go
watching you
turn your back like you always do
face away and pretend that i'm not
but i'll be here
cause you're all i got

i can't feel
the way i did before
don't turn your back on me
i won't be ignored
time won't heal
this damage anymore
don't turn your back on me
i won't be ignored

no
hear me out now
you're gonna listen to me
like it or not
right now

Figure .09

nothing ever stops all these thoughts
and the pain attached to them
sometimes i wonder why this is happening
its like nothing i can do will distract me when
i think of how i shot myself in the back again
cause from the infinite words i could say / i
put all the pain you gave to me on display / but didn't
realize / instead of setting it free / i
took what i hated and made it a part of me
[it never goes away]

hearing your name / the memories come back again
i remember when it started happening
i'd see you in every thought i had and then
the thoughts slowly found words attached to them
and i knew as they escaped away i was
committing myself to them / and every day i
regret saying those things / cause now i see / that i
took what i hated and made it a part of me

[it never goes away]

and now
you've become a part of me
you'll always be right here
you've become a part of me
you'll always be my fear
i can't separate myself from what i've done
i've given up a part of me
i've let myself become you

get away from me
gimme my space back / you gotta just go
everything comes down to memories of you
i've kept it in but now i'm letting you know
i've let you go
GET AWAY FROM ME

i've let myself become you
i've let myself become lost inside these
thoughts of you
giving up a part of me
i've let myself become you

Breaking the Habit

memories consume
like opening the wound
i'm picking me apart again
you all assume
i'm safe here in my room
[unless i try to start again]
i don't want to be the one
the battles always choose
cause inside i realize
that i'm the one confused

i don't know what's worth fighting for
or why i have to scream
i don't know why i instigate
and say what i don't mean
i don't know how i got this way
i know it's not alright
so i'm
breaking the habit
tonight

clutching my cure
i tightly lock the door
i try to catch my breath again
i hurt much more
than anytime before
i had no options left again

i'll paint it on the walls
cause i'm the one at fault
i'll never fight again
and this is how it ends

i don't know what's worth fighting for
or why i have to scream
but now i have some clarity
to show you what i mean
i don't know how i got this way
i'll never be alright
so i'm
breaking the habit
breaking the habit
tonight

From the Inside

i don't know who to trust
no surprise
everyone feels so far away from me
heavy thoughts sift through dust
and the lies
trying not to break
but i'm so tired of this deceit
every time i try to make myself
get back up on my feet
all i ever think about is this
all the tiring time between
and how
trying to put my trust in you
just takes so much out of me

i take everything from the inside
and throw it all away
cause i swear / for the last time
i won't trust myself with you

tension is building inside
steadily
everyone feels so far away from me
heavy thoughts forcing their way
out of me

i won't trust myself with you
i won't waste myself on you
waste myself on you
you

Nobody's Listening

peep the style and the kids checking for it
the number one question is how could you ignore it
we drop right back in the cut
over basement tracks
with raps that got you backing this up like
[rewind that]
we're just rolling with the rhythm
rise from the ashes of stylistic division
with these non-stop lyrics of life living
not to be forgotten
but still unforgiven
but in the meantime there are those who wanna
talk this and that / so i suppose
that it gets to a that point feelings gotta get hurt
and get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
[it goes]
try to give you warning
but everyone ignores me
[told you everything loud and clear]
but nobody's listening
call to you so clearly
but you don't want to hear me
[told you everything loud and clear]
but nobody's listening

i got a
heart full of pain / head full of stress
handful of anger / held in my chest
and everything left is a waste of time
i hate my rhymes
[but hate everyone else's more]
i'm riding on the back of this pressure
guessing that it's better
that i can't keep myself together
because all of this stress
gave me something to write on
the pain gave me something i could set my sights on
you never forget the blood sweat and tears
the uphill struggle over years
the fear and trash talking
and the people it was to
and the people that started it
just like you

i got a
heart full of pain / head full of stress
handful of anger / held in my chest
uphill struggle / blood sweat and tears
nothing to gain / everything to fear

[coming at you]

Session

none

Numb

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless lost under the surface

Don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

Every step I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

[Chorus]

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

Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me

Holding too tightly afraid to lose control

Cause everything that you thought I would be

Has fallen apart right in front of you

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)

And every second I waste is more than I can take

[Chorus]

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

Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know

I may end up failing too

But I know

You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

[Chorus]

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

Is be more like me and be less like you

[Chorus]

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

Is everything what you want me to be

I've become so numb I can't feel you there

Is everything what you want me to be

HYBRID THEORY

Papercut

Why does it feel like night today?

Something in here's not right today.

Why am I so uptight today?

Paranoia's all I got left

I don't know what stressed me first

Or how the pressure was fed / but

I know just what it feels like

To have a voice in the back of my head

It's like a face that I hold inside

A face that awakes when I close my eyes

A face watches every time I lie

A face that laughs every time I fall

[And watches everything]

So I know that when it's time to sink or swim

That the face inside is hearing me / right underneath my skin

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

It's like a, whirlwind inside of my head

It's like I, can't stop what I'm hearing within

It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

I know I've got a face in me

points out all my mistakes to me

You've got a face on the inside too and

Your paranoia's probably worse

I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can't stand

Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is

I can't add up to what you can but

Everybody has a face that they hold inside

A face that awakes when I close my eyes

A face watches every time they lie

A face that laughs every time they fall

[And watches everything]

So you know that when it's time to sink or swim

That the face inside is watching you too / right inside your skin

The sun goes down

I feel the light betray me

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 fear is never ending

Controlling, I can't seem

To find myself again

My walls are closing in

(Without a sense of confindence, I'm convinced 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

Discompfort 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

(Without a sense of confindence, I'm convinced 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

*[In background]

(There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface consuming, confusing

This lack of self control I fear is never ending, controlling)

One Step Closer

I cannot take this anymore

I'm saying everything I've said before

All these words they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Less I hear the less you'll say

But you'll find that out anyway

Just like before...

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear

Wish I could find a way to disappear

All these thoughts they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Nothing seems to go away

Over and over again

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!

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

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 of the static / and put my cold feet on the floor

Forgot all about yesterday

Remembering I’m pretending to be where I’m not anymore

A little taste of hypocrisy

And I’m left in the wake of the mistake / slow to react

Even though you’re so close to me

You’re still so distant / And I can’t bring you back

It’s true / the way I feel

Was promised by your face

The sound of your voice

Painted on my memories

Even if you’re not with me

I’m with you

You / Now I see/ keeping everything inside

You / Now I see / Even when I close my eyes

I hit you and you hit me back

We fall to the floor / the rest of the day stands still

Fine line between this and that

When things go wrong I pretend the past isn’t real

Now I'm trapped in this memory

And I’m left in the wake of the mistake / slow to react

Even though you’re close to me

You’re still so distant / And I can’t bring you back

No matter how far we've come

I can't wait to see tomorrow

With you

Points Of Authority

Forfeit the game / Before somebody else

Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame

Cover up your face / You can't run the race

The pace is too fast / You just can't last

You love the way I look at you

While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through

You take away if I give in

My life

My pride is broken

You love the things I say I'll do-

The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you

You take away when I give in / my life

My pride is broken

Chorus:

You like to think you're never wrong

You want to act like you're someone

You want someone to hurt like you

You want to share what you've been through

(You live what you learn)

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 learn 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 wanna run away

Never say goodbye

I wanna know the truth

Instead of wondering why

I wanna know the answers

No more lies

I wanna shut the door

And open up my mind

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 wanna run away

Never say goodbye

I wanna know the truth

Instead of wondering why

I wanna know the answers

No more lies

I wanna shut the door

And open up my mind

I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye

(Gonna run away, gonna run away)

I'm gonna run away and never wonder why

(Gonna run away, gonna run away)

I'm gonna run away and open my mind

(Gonna run away, gonna run away)

I wanna run away

Never say goodbye

I wanna know the truth

Instead of wondering why

I wanna know the answers

No more lies

I wanna shut the door

And open up my mind

I wanna run away

And open up my mind

I wanna run away

And open up my mind

I wanna run away

And open up my mind

I wanna 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 façade but then

I just end up getting hurt again

By myself [myself]

I ask why, but in my mind

I find I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on

To what I want when I'm stretched so thin

It's all too much to take in

I can't hold on

To anything watching everything spin

With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I

Turn my back I'm defenseless

And to go blindly seems senseless

If I hide my pride and let it all go on / then they'll

Take from me 'till everything is gone

If I let them go I'll be outdone

But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun

If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer

Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

[by myself]

How do you think / I've lost so much

I'm so afraid / I'm out of touch

How do you expect / I will know what to do

When all I know / Is what you tell me to

Don't you know

I can't tell you how to make it go

No matter what I do, how hard I try

I can't seem to convince myself why

I'm stuck on the outside

In The End

It starts with

One thing I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme

To explain in due time

All I know

Time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

It's so unreal

Didn't look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on but didn't even know

Wasted it all just to

Watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard

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

You kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I

I 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 put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this

There's only one thing you should know

I 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

The sun doesn't give / life to the moon to assuming

The moon's going to owe it one

It makes me think of how you act to me / You do

Favors and then rapidly / You just

Turn around and start asking me / about

Things you want back from me

I'm sick of the tension / sick of the hunger

Sick of you acting like I owe you this

Find another place / to feed your greed -

While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place

I hate when you say you don't understand

[You'll see it's not meant to be]

I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy

A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you / and

Step on people like you do and / Run

Away the people I thought I knew

I remember back then who you were

You used to be calm / used to be strong

Used to be generous / but you should've known / That you'd

Wear out your welcome / now you see

How quiet it is / all alone / I'm 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

You try to take the best of me

Go away

Forgotten

From the top to the bottom

Bottom to top I stop

At the core I've forgotten

In the middle of my thoughts

Taken far from my safety

The picture is there

The memory won't escape me

But why should I care

There's a place so dark you can't see the end

[Skies cock back] and shock that which can't defend

The rain then sends dripping / an acidic question

Forcefully, the power of suggestion

Then with the eyes tightly shut / looking thought the rust and rot

And dust / a spot of light floods the floor

And pours over the rusted world of pretend

The eyes ease open and its dark again

In the memory you'll find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly

Until the sun rises up

Moving all around / screaming of the ups and downs

Pollution manifested in perpetual sound

The wheels go round and the sunset creeps past the

Street lamps, chain-link and concrete

A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats

On down the street till the wind is gone

The memory now is like the picture was then

When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again

Now you got me caught in the act

You bring the thought back

I'm telling you that

I see it right through you

Cure For The Itch

Folks, we have a very special guest for you tonight

Id like to introduce:

Mr. Hahn!

Lets hear it for the great Mr. Hahn

And now a lesson in rhythm management

lets begin

alright now, wasnt that fun....lets try something else

Pushing Me Away

I've lied / to you

The same way that I always do

This is / the last smile

That I'll fake for the sake of being with you

Pre-chorus:

[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 / to watch it

all unwind]

The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I never walked away

Why I played myself this way

Now I see your testing me pushes me away

I've tried /like you

To do everything you wanted too

This is / the last time

I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

HYBRID THEORY EP

And One

Where should I start?

Disjointed heart

I’ve got not commitment

To my own flesh

And I’m left all alone

Can’t find my home

No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart, I

Keep it locked up inside

I cannot express to the point I’ve regressed

If anger’s a gift, then I guess I’ve been blessed, I

Keep it locked up inside

Keep my distance from your lies

It’s too late to love me now

You helped me to show me

It’s too late to love me now

You don’t take a word in

Breaking a part of my heart to find release

Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (2x)

Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Break)

Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace (Me)

Breaking a part of my heart to find release (Too)

Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace

Pre chorus

Chorus (2x)

Keep my distance (4x)

Carousel

She can’t hide no matter how hard she tries

Her secret disguise behind her lies

And at night she cries away her pride

With eyes shut tight, staring at her inside

All her friends know why she can’t sleep at night

All her family asking if she’s all right

All she wants to do is get rid of this hell

But all she’s gotta do is stop kidding herself

She can only fool herself for so long (3x)

She can only fool herself

I’m too weak to face me

I never know just why you run

So far away, far away from me

I never know just why you run

So far away, far away from me

When it comes to how to live his life

He can’t be told

Says he’s got it all under control

Thinks he knows it’s not a problem he’s stuck with

But in reality, it’d be a problem to just quit

An addict and he can’t hold the reigns

The pain is worse ‘cause his friends have it the same

Tries to slow down the problem he’s got

But can’t get off the carousel

Until he makes it stop

He can only fool himself for so long (3x)

He can only fool himself

Chorus

Try to fly with the wings I gave you

Try to do what you believe and I’ll save you

Chorus (4x)

High Voltage

Just do something to tell you who I am, ya know?

It’s high voltage you can’t shake the shock

Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out (4x)

I’ve been taking into crates ever since I was livin’ in space

Before the rat-race, before monkeys had human traits

Mastered numerology and big-bang theology

Preformed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology

Invented the mic so I start blessin’ it

And chin-checkin’ kids to make my point like an impressionist

Many men have tried to shake us

But I twist mic cords to double helixes and show them what I’m made of

I buckle knees like leg braces

Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of the emcees that hate us

So try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on

From now to infinity let icons be bygones

I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this

I’ve tried threats but moved on to a promise

I stomp shit with or without an accomplish

(Mixed media)

The stamp of approval is on this

Chorus (2x)

Akira, put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones

Never satisfy my rhyme jones

Sprayin’ bright day over what you might say

Blood type carillon

Technicolor type A

On highways with road rage I’m patient to win

The cage and the tin to bounce all around

In surround sound devouring the scene

Subliminal gangrene paintings

Overall the same things sing songs karaoke copy madness

Break bones verbally to sticks and stone tactics

Fourth dimension, combat convention

Write rhymes at ease while the tracks stand at attention (Attention)

Meant to put you away with the pencil

Pistol, official, 16 line rhyme missile

Why you risk it all, I pick out of your flaws

Spin, blah-blah-blah-blah

You can say you saw

Chorus (4x)

Part Of Me

Part of me won’t go away

Everyday reminded how much I hate it

Weighted against the consequences

Can’t live without it so it’s senseless

Wanna cut it out of my soul

And just live with a gaping hole

Take control of my life

And wash out all the burnt taste

I made the problems in the first place

Hang my head low ‘cause it’s part of me

Ya hardly see right next to the heart of me

Heard of me the routine scar

New cuts cover where the old ones are

And now I’m sick of this

I can’t stand the sandpaper thoughts that grade away on my sanity

I rather not even be then the man that’s staring in the mirror through me

Cut myself free willingly

Stop just what’s killing me (4x)

I feel it everyday

I feel I made my way

I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside

Swallowing me

It can’t be frightening if you’ve never felt it

Once it’s been dealt with you feel like you’ve been touched by something angelic

And then melted down into a pool of peace

Cease to be the animal you used to be

Remove the broken parts you know were wrong

And feel the karma when the problem’s all gone

And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can’t let be

And that reason’ll last fight to free yourself

Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well

And now you know you can choose to lose the part in your heart

Where your insides bruise

You can live if you’re willing to

Put a stop to just what’s killing you

Pre chorus (4x)

Chorus

(Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams away silently

This part of me won’t go away, part of me won’t go away

Everywhere I look around I see how everyone aught to be

Every time I see myself I see there’s always something wrong with me)

Chorus (2x)

I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me (2x)

Step Up

Watch as the room rocks

Mentally moonwalk

Mixed media slang

Banging in your boom box verbal violence

Lyrical stylist

In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish

You can’t tempt me with rhymes that are empty

Rapping to a beat doesn’t make you an emcee

With your lack of skill and facility

You’re killing me

And a DJ in the group just for credibility

I heard that some of you are getting help with your rhymes

You’re not an emcee if someone else writes your lines

And rapping over rock doesn’t make you a pioneer

Cause rock and hip hop have collaborated for years

But now they’re getting randomly mixed and matched up

All after a fast buck and all the tracks suck

So how does it stack up? None of it’s real

You want to be an emcee you’ve got to study the skill

Who can rock a rhyme like this?

Bring it to you every time like this? (2x)

Step, step up, step, step up

So you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity

But mentally you don’t have the hip hop energy

With a tendency to make up stories

Sounding like the only hip hop you’ve heard is top 40

And your record company is completely missing it

All the kids are dissing it for not being legitimate

So in a battle you can't hack it

React with whack shit

And get smacked with verbal back flips

Get your ass kicked by fabulous battle catalysts

It's taken decades for emcees to establish this

You’re new to hip hop and welcome if your serious

But not on the mic

Leave that to the experienced

(Using the waves of sound the true master paralyzes his opponents, leaving him vulnerable to attack)

Chorus (2x)

(After years of pain staking research by the world's leading sound scientists, we here at the sound institute have

invented a reliable audio weapons system. Actual movement of musical sound in space used to carefully attack

and neutralize the cellular structure of the human body, and the question must be asked.)

Chorus (2x)

ONE STEP CLOSER

One Step Closer

I cannot take this anymore

I'm saying everything I've said before

All these words they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Less I hear the less you'll say

But you'll find that out anyway

Just like before...

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear

Wish I could find a way to disappear

All these thoughts they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Nothing seems to go away

Over and over again

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!

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

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!

My December

This is my December, This is my time of the year.

This is my December, This is all so clear.

This is my December, This is my snow covered home.

This is my December, This is me alone.

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 that I said to you.

And I'd, Give it all away, Just to have somewhere to go home to.

Give it all away, To have someone to come home to.

This is my December, This is my snow covered tree.

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 that 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 that I said to you.

And i'd, 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.

Give it all away, Just to have somewhere to go to.

Give it all away, To have someone to come home to.

Give it all away, Just to have somewhere to go to.

Give it all away, To have someone to come home to.

High Voltage (Remix)

You know what I mean

You could put a label on a life,

Put a label on a lifestyle

Sometimes...

You know

Put a label on how you wake up every morning

And go to bed at night

Hybrid

I’ve been diggin into crates ever since I was livin in space

Before the ratrace, before monkeys had human traits

I mastered numerology and bigbang theology

Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology

Invented the mic so I could start blessin it

Chincheckin kids to make my point like an impressionist

Many men have tried to shake us

But I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them what I’m made of

I buckle knees like leg braces

Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of you emcees who hate us

So you can try on,

Leave you without a shoulder to cry on

From now to infinity let icons be bygones

I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this

I tried threats but moved on to a promise

I stomp shit with or without an accomplice

And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this

High Voltage

The unforgettable sound

High Voltage

Bringing you up and taking you down

High Voltage

Coming at you from every side

High Voltage

Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

Akira, I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones

Never satisfy my rhyme jones

Sprayin bright day over what you might say

My Blood type's Krylon Technicolor type A

On highways ride with road rage

Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around

Surround sound

Devouring the scene

Subliminal gangrene paintings

Over while the same thing

Sing song karaoke copy bullshit

Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics

Fourth dimension, combat convention

Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention

Meant to put you away with the pencil

Pistol, official, 16 line a rhyme missile

While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws

Spin rah, blah blah blah

You can say you saw

High Voltage

The Unforgettable sound

High Voltage

Bringing you up and taking you down

High Voltage

The Unforgettable sound

Bringing you up and taking you down

High Voltage

Coming at you from every side

High Voltage

Making the rhythm and rhyme collide

And like the rock and rap

You know what i mean

People act like you know

Wow that’s a new invention

That shits brand new

We're constantly evolving

It is constantly changing

Sometimes...

There's a lot of change

Everybody's always up with labels

There ain’t no label for this shit

They're always gonna try to put a label on it

Try to create something

So they can water it down

Sometimes I feel like a prophet

Misunderstood

Under the gun like a new disease

Sometimes I feel like a prophet

Misunderstood

Under the gun like a new disease

High Voltage

The Unforgettable sound

Crawling (Demo)

Ahhhhh!

I hate you so much right now

Crawling in my skin

These wounds, they will not heal

Fear is powerful

Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface (beneath the surface)

Consuming (consuming) , confusing (confusing)

This lack of self control I found so overwhelming (so overwhelming)

Controlling (controlling), I can't seem

To find a strength within

My walls are closing in

(Without a sense of confidence and I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take...)

I've felt this way before

So insecure

Crawling in my skin

These wounds, they will not heal

Fear is powerful

Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly has laid itself upon me (itself upon me)

Distracting (distracting), reacting

Against my will I stand beside my own reflection (my own reflection)

It's haunting (it’s haunting) how I can't seem

To find a strength within

My walls are closing in

(Without a sense of confidence and I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take...)

I've felt this way before

So insecure...

Rain drops put the rhythm on the pavement

And drip from the blacktop into the basement

Traces of the rain pervade this

To erase your hate and take this from the fakeness (x4)

To find my strength again

My walls are closing in...

I've felt this way before

So insecure...

Crawling in my skin

These wounds, they will not heal

Fear is powerful

Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin

These wounds, they will not heal

Fear is powerful

Confusing what is real

Esaul (A Place For My Head)

Riding with a head full of bodies are red

And when this x is still stuck in my head

But misled doing the things I do would make you never wanna come back

But an all front attack, so you could never run from that

Being trapped in this beau, some that I never wanted to do

But through it all you've got to see that what I want to be

Is over the pen again letting it out of me

In the center of the day in the dream, seeing all my thoughts

Getting lost in between, realizing one that the way to the sea

And the killing and again are in the head with the screams

I wanna live in another place

Where no one can say that I live for them

I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy

A place for my head

We're gonna be crushed when it all falls apart

Going in the hollow, hoping that you won't know

The strain it puts to me, seeing what you've done

And consequently I've run away, just hitting again

Within the boundaries of an anguish

Want me to say this, but you're dragging me down

Lost in the chaos being tossed around

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

Adding to the panic of my confine

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

Adding to the panic of my confine

I wanna live in another place

Where no one can say that I live for them

I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy

A place for my head

You

Try to take the best of me

Go away

You

Try to take the best of me

Go away

You

Try to take the best of me

Go away

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 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

SHUT!!

UP!!

WHY!!

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

Adding to the panic of my confine

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

Adding to the panic of my confine

In The End (Demo)

It starts with one

And multiplies until you can taste the sun

And burn by the sky you try to take it from

But if it falls there’s no place to run

Crumbling down, it’s so unreal

They’re dealing you in to determine your end

And sending you back again to places you’ve been

And bending your will ‘til it breaks you within

And still they fill their eyes

With the twilight through the skylight

And the highlights on a frame of steel

See the brightness of your likeness

As I write this on a pad

The way I feel

Hear the screaming in my dreaming

As its seeming, that you played your part

Like your heartless take apart this

In the darkness, but I know

I’ve 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 look down the line and what’s there is not what ought to be

Held back by the battles they fought for me

Calling me to be part of their property

And now I see that I get no chance

I get no break

Fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes

And as the tight rope within

Slowly starts to thin

I can only hope that they close their eyes

To the twilight through the skylight

And the highlights on a frame of steel

See the brightness of your likeness

As I write this on a pad

To the way I feel

Hear the screaming in my dreaming

As its seeming, that you played your part

Like your heartless take apart this

In the darkness, but I know

I’ve 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 put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

And for all this

There’s only one thing you should know…

I put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

And for all this

There’s only one thing you should know…

I put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

And for all this

There’s only one thing you should know…

I’ve 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

Linkin Park and X-Ecutioners
It's Going Down

I knew I was being threatened

Do you think it's worth holding out?

I mean I've heard some pretty ugly things about those guys

Ugly stories

Watch them flee

Rap up

Watch them flee

Hip-Hop hits

And you do it like this

It's going down

The rhythm projects 'round the next sound

Reflects the complex hybrid dialect now

Detect the mesh of many elements compressed down

The melting pot of a super-future X-style

The combination of a vocal caress

With lungs that gasp for breath

From emotional stress

With special effects

And a distorted collage

Carefully lodged between beats of rhythmic barrage

[Pre-Chorus:]

It's going down

The logical progression on a the timeline

The separation narrowed down to a fine line

To blur the edges so they blend together properly

Take you on an audible odyssey

Now it's going down

The separation narrowed down to a fine line

To blur the edges so they blend together properly

Take u on a an audible odyssey

And you do it like this

It's going down

Put put it up

It said it go- go- goes like this

Once again it is

Composed sentences all together venomous

The four elements of natural force

Projected daily through the sound of the source

Everybody on board with this blend

The sword with the pen

The mightiest is the weapons

Swinging right from the chin

The elevate of mental states

Long gone with the wind

To defend men for shoddy imitation pretends

It's going down

Stalence emulation readily

Trekking through the weaponry

Of the pure pedigree

Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me

Whatever the weather be

We invent the steadily

It's going down to sub-terrestrial high

I rhyme regiment that's calling the shots

Execution of collaborative plots

Ready to bring the separation of style to a stop

[Pre Chorus:]

It's going down

Put it out for the world to see

Lp and X-men to the Tenth Degree

(it’s going down)

Nobody in the world is safe

When we melt down the wax in your record crate

(it’s going down)

Put it out for the world to see

Lp and X-men to the Tenth Degree

(it’s going down)

Nobody in the world is safe

When we melt down the wax in your record crate

(it's goin' down)

Put it on

Said it goes like this

And you do it like this

It’s going down

Once again it is

Composed sentences all together venomous

The four elements of natural force

Projected daily through the sound of the source

Everybody on board as we blend

The sword with the pen

The mightiest of weapons

Swinging right from the chin

To elevate mental states

Long gone with the wind

To defend men from shoddy imitation pretends

It’s going down

Style assilmilation

Readily

Trekkin' through the weaponry

Of a pure pedigree

Cleverly seeing through whatever is ahead of me

Whatever the weather be

We advance it steadily

It’s going down sub-terrestrial hot

A rhyme regiment that’s calling the shots

Execution of collaborative plots

Ready to bring the separation of style to a stop

It’s going down

A logical progression on the timeline

The separation narrowed down to a fine line

To blur the edges so they blend together properly

Take you on an audible odyssey

Now, it’s going down

Put it out for the world to see

Lp and X-men to the Tenth Degree

(it’s going down)

Nobody in the world is safe

When we melt down the wax in your record crate

(it’s going down)

Put it out for the world to see

Lp and X-men to the Tenth Degree

(it’s going down)

Nobody in the world is safe

When we melt down the wax in your record crate

(it’s going down)

X-men ‘bout to blast of world wide

And you do it like this

‘Bout to blast off

world wide

It's going down

Put it out for the world to see

Lp and X-men to the Tenth Degree

(it’s going down)

Nobody in the world is safe

When we melt down the wax in your record crate

(it’s going down)

Put it out for the world to see

Lp and X-men to the Tenth Degree

(it’s going down)

Nobody in the world is safe

When we melt down the wax in your record crate

(it’s going down)

It’s goin down

(It’s goin down)

It’s goin down

(It’s goin down)

It’s goin down

(It's goin down)

Put it on

Said it goes like this

(It's goin down)

And you do it like this

It’s going down

Put it on

Said it goes like this

(It's goin down)

And you do it like this

like this

Morning After

Caught up against the war again

Time to chill in the bar again

Never seize to amaze in minds

So I just sleep sleep sleep please don't

Wake me till the morning after [2x]

Cut my peace (?) by the flower again

Lick my wounds like a dove again

Is that a light at the end of the tunnel

That I see I see please let it be but don't

Wake me till the morning after [3x]

Oh I'm so tired there has got to be an end

to the pain I feel when I'm

awake and alive alive alive

alive and not dreamin'

Caught up against the war again

Time to chill in the bar again

Is that a light at the end of the tunnel

That I see I see please let it be but don't

Wake me till the morning after [3x]

Oh I'm so tired there has got to be an end

to the pain I feel when I'm

Awake and alive alive alive

Alive and not dreamin'

Part Of Me (Demo)

Part of me won’t go away,

everyday reminded how much i hate it,

Weighted against the consequences Can’’t live without it so it’’s senseless

Wanna cut it out of my soul

And just live with a gaping hole

find myself, take control of situation,

responisble for education

hang my head low cuz its part of me,

ya hardly see, right down to the heart of me,

Heard of me the routine scar

New cuts cover where the old ones are

And now I’m sick of this

I can’t stand the sandpaper thoughts that grain on my sanity

I rather not even be then the man that’s staring in the mirror through me

(Pre chorus)

Cut myself free willingly

Stop just what’’s killing me (4x)

(Chorus)I feel it everyday

I feel I made my way

I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside

Swallowing me

It can’’t be frightening if you’’ve never felt it

Once it’’s been dealt with you feel like you’’ve been touched by something angelic

And then melted down into a pool of peace

Cease to be the animal you used to be

reroute the pain and make the subsitution,

feel the rain of resolution,

And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can’’t let be

And that reason’’ll last fight to free yourself

Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well

And now you know you can choose to lose the part in your heart

Where your insides bruise

You can live if you’’re willing to

Put a stop to just what’’s killing you

(Pre chorus)

(Chorus)

This part of me won’t go away

Part of me won’t go away,

I feel it every day,

I feel it in my way,

I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swell up inside swallowing me,

(3x)

Super Xero (By Myself)

What do I do to ignore them behind me?

Do I follow my instincts blindly?

Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams

And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?

Do I sit here and try to stand it?

Or do I try to catch them red-handed?

Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness

Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?

Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin

I make the right moves but I'm lost within

I put on my daily facade but then

I just end up getting hurt again

By myself (myself)

I ask why, but in my mind

I find I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on

To what I want when I'm stretched so thin

It's all too much to take in

I can't hold on

To anything watching everything spin

With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I

Turn my back I'm defenseless

And to go blindly seems senseless

If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll

Take from me till everything is gone

If I let them go I'll be outdone

But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun

If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer

Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer

(By myself)

How do you think I've lost so much

I'm so afraid I'm out of touch

How do you expect I will know what to do

When all I know is what you tell me to

Don't you know

I can't tell you how to make it go

No matter what I do how hard I try

I can't seem to convince myself why

I'm stuck on the outside

Linkin Park feat. Chester B.
System

You fell away..What more can I say?

The feelings evolved,

I won't let it out

I can't replace

Your screaming face

Feeling the sickness inside

Why won't you die

Your blood in mine

We'll be fine

Then your body will be mine

So many words

Can't describe my fate

This feelings evolved

So soon to break out

I can't relate to a happy state

Feeling the blood run inside

Why won't you die

Your blood in mine

We'll be fine

Then your body will be mine

Why is everything so fucking hard for me

Keep me down to what you think I should be

Must you tempt me and provoke the ministry

Keep on trying and I die so easily.

Why is everything so fucking hard for me

Why won't you die

Your blood in mine

We'll be fine

Then your body will be mine

Why won't you die

Your blood in mine

We'll be fine
