Linkin-Park forever!

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 (2x)

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 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

Pre chorus:
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

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

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 redhanded?
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 fasade 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

Graffiti decorations
Underneath 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

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

ThereТs something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling I canТt seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
[Without a sense of confidence IТm convinced
there’s just too much pressure to take]
IТve felt this way before
So insecure

Forfeit the game Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face You canТt run the race
The pace is too fast You just won’t last

You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life
My pride is broken

You like to think youТre never wrong
You have to act like youТre someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what youТve been through

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 IТm pretending to be where IТm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And IТm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
Even though youТre so close to me
YouТre still so distant And I canТt bring you back

ItТs true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if youТre not with me
IТm with you
You Now I see keeping everything inside
(With you)
You Now I see Even when I close my eyes

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…

Chorus (2x)

shut up when I’m talking to you

Chorus (2x)

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
