one step closer
I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words, they make no sense
I've found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
You'll find that out anyway
Just like before
Everything you say to me
Take's me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to pray
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I've found the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts. they make no sense
I've found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before
Everything you say to me
Take's me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to pray
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Take's me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to pray
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to
BREAK (echo)
Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up!
Shut up when I'm talking to you!
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 pray
'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 pray
'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to
BREAK!
From The Inside
I don't know who to trust your surprise
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Happy 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)
Take everything from the inside
and throw it all away
Cuz 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)
Happy thoughts forcing their way out of me
(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)
Take everything from the inside
and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
I won't waste myself on you
You
Waste myself on you
You
I'll take everything from the inside
and throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
Everything from the inside
and just throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
You
No More Sorrow
Are you lost in your lies?
Do you tell yourself I don\'t realize
Your crusade\'s a disguise?
Replaced with freedom with fear
You trade money for lives
I\'m aware of what you\'ve done
No, no more sorrow
I\'ve paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be released
I see pain, I see need
I see liars and fiends
Abuse power with greed
I had hope, I believed
But I\'m beginning to think that I\'ve been decieved
You will pay for what you\'ve done
No, no more sorrow
I\'ve paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be released
Face it, hypocrite!
No, no more sorrow
I\'ve paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be released
No more sorrow
I\'ve paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be released
Your time has come to be erased
Given up
Wake in a sweat again
Another day\'s been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I\'ll never leave this place
There\'s no escape
I\'m my own worst enemy
I\'ve given up, I\'m sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I\'m suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me
I don\'t know what to take
Thought I was focused, but I\'m scared
I\'m not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help, somehow, somewhere
And no one cares
I\'m my own worst enemy
I\'ve given up, I\'m sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I\'m suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me
Put me out of my misery!
Put me out of my
Put me out of my fucking misery!
I\'ve given up, I\'m sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I\'m suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me
Linkin Park - Lying From You
When I pretend
everything is what I want it be
I looked exactly like what you always wanted to see
I can\'t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second
just cause I know I can, but
I can\'t pretend
this is they way it will stay, I\'m just
(Lying to defend the truth)
I can\'t pretend I\'m who you want me to be so
(I\'m lying my way from)
You
(Nah, no turning back now)
I wanna be closed inside so let me go
(Nah, no turning back now)
Let me take back my life
I\'d rather be all alone
(No turning back now)
And anywhere on my own, cause I can\'t see
(Nah, no turning back now)
The very worst part of you
IS ME
I remember what they taught to me,
Remember condescending talk of who it 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
(Trying to defend the truth )
But the more I push I\'m pulling away cause I\'m
(Lying my way from)
You
(Nah, no turning back now)
I wanna be closed inside so let me go
(Nah, no turning back now)
Let me take back my life
I`d rather be all alone
(No turning back now)
And anywhere on my own cause I can`t see
(Nah, no turning back now)
The very worst part of you
Say what
The very worst part of you
IS ME
This isn\'t what I wanted to be,
I never thought what I said
would have you running from me
LIKE THIS!
This isn\'t what I wanted to be,
I never thought what I said
would have you running from me
LIKE THIS!
This isn\'t what I wanted to be,
I never thought what I said
would have you running from me
LIKE THIS!
This isn\'t what I wanted to be,

Let me take back my life
I`d rather be all alone

And anywhere on my own cause I can`t see
(Nah, no turning back now)
The very worst part of you
Say again
The very worst part of you
IS ME
Hands Held High
Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something
Lightweights steppin\' aside when we come in
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping
People on the street then panic and start running
Words on loose leaf sheet, complete coming
I jump in my mind, I summon the rhyme I\'m dumping
Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
F*ck that, I wanna see some fists pumping
List something, take back what\'s yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for
\'Cause I\'m sick of being treated like I had before
Like it\'s stupid standing for what I\'m standing for
Like this war\'s really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn\'t cater to rich and abandon poor
Like they understand you, in the back of their jet
When you can\'t put gas in your tank, these fu*kers
Are laughing their way to the bank, and cashing their check
Asking you to have the passion and have some respect
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In the living room, laughing like, \'What did he say?\'
You with us
Are you with us right now
Leave Out All The Rest
I dreamed I was missing, you were so scared
But no one would listen, \'cause no one else cared
After my dreaming, I woke with this fear
What am I leaving when I\'m done here?
So if you\'re asking me, I want you to know
When my time comes, forget the wrong that I\'ve done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don\'t resent me, and when you\'re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest, don\'t be afraid
I\'ve taken my beating, I\'ve shared what I made
I\'m strong on the surface, not all the way through
I\'ve never been perfect, but neither have you
So if you\'re asking me, I want you to know
When my time comes, forget the wrong that I\'ve done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don\'t resent me, and when you\'re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside you\'ve learned to hide so well4]
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can\'t be who you are
When my time comes, forget the wrong that I\'ve done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
Don\'t resent me, and when you\'re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory, leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest
Forgetting all the hurt inside you\'ve learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come and save me from myself
I can\'t be who you are
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)
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
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
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
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
The Little Things Give You Away
Water came through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling there, like an ocean everywhere
Don\'t want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
All you\'ve ever wanted...
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water, I do...
Hope decays, generations disappear
Washed away, as a nation simply stares
Don\'t want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you, the little things give you away
But now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
All you\'ve ever wanted...
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water, I do...
All you\'ve ever wanted...
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet underground, now I...
Now I do...
Oh... Oh...
The little things give you away... the little things give you away
All you\'ve ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you
Breaking The Habit
Memories concern
Like opening the wound
I\'m picking me apart again
You all assume
I\'m safer in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don\'t want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz 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
I\'m breaking the habit tonight
Cultured my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I have no options left again
I dont want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz 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\'ll never be alright
So, I\'m breaking the habit
I\'m breaking the habit tonight
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
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
I\'m breaking the habit
I\'m breaking the habit tonight
Shadow Of The Day
I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren\'t so simple
Sometimes goodbye\'s the only way
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren\'t so simple
Sometimes goodbye\'s the only way
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
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 confidence and I'm convinced
That it'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
(Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
That it'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 fear is never ending
Controlling, confusing what is real
In the End
It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
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 explain in due time
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
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 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
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
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
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 too
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
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
What I've Done
In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done!!!
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
What I've done
Forgiving what I've done
:Numb/Encore
Can I get an encore
Do you want more?
Cooking raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
Now what the hell are you waiting for
After me there shall be no more
So for one last time nigga make some noise
Get them Jay
Who you know fresher than Hov'? Riddle me that
The rest of y'all know where I'm lyrically at
Can't none of y'all mirror me back
Yeah hearing me rap is like hearing G. Rap in his prime
I'm young H.O. rap's Grateful Dead
Back to take over the globe now break bread
I'm in Boeing jets Global Express
Out the country but the blueberry still connect
On the low but the yacht got a triple deck
But when you young, what the fuck you expect? Yep, yep
Grand opening grand closing
God your man Hov' cracked the can open again
Who you gon' find doper than him with no pen
Just draw off inspiration
Soon you gon' see you can't replace him with
Cheap imitations for DESE GENERATIONS
Can I get an encore
Do you want more
Cooking raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
So what the hell are you waiting for
After me there shall be no more
So for one last time nigga make some noise
Now what the hell are you waiting for
Look what you made me do, look what I made for you
Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you?
When you first come in the game they try to play you
Then you drop a couple of hits, look how they wave to you
From Marcy to Madison Square
To the only thing that matters in just a matter of years
As fate would have it Jay's status appears
To be at an all-time high, perfect time to say goodbye
When I come back like Jordan, wearing the 4-5
It ain't to play games witchu
It's to aim at you probably maim you
If I owe you I'm blowing you to smithereeens
Cocksucker take one for your team
And I need you to remember one thing (one thing)
I came I saw I conquered
From record sales to sold out concerts
So muh'fucker if you want this encore
I need you to scream 'til your lungs get sore
Make some noise
Jigga What-Faint
Motherfukkers wanna act loco, hit em wit, numerous
shots with the fo'-fo'
Faggots runnin to the Po-Po's, smoke em like cocoa
Fuck rap, coke by the boatload
Fuck dat, on the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
Left holes through some guy clothes
Stop your bullshittin, glock with the full clip
Motherfukkers better duck when the fool spit
One shot could make a * do a full flip
See the * layin shocked when the bullet hit
I hate my high youth, no niggaz wanna buy you
But see me I wanna fuck for free
Now I gotta let her take this ride, make you feel it
inside your belly, if it's tight get the K-Y Jelly
All night get you wide up inside the telly
Side to side, til you say Jay-Z you're too much for me
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
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 that I got
Got a condo with nothin but condoms in it
The same place where the rhymes is invented
So all I do is rap and sex, imagine how I stroke
See how I was flowin on my last cassette?
Rapid-fire like I'm blastin a Tec, never jam though
Never get high, never run out of ammo
Niggaz hatin and shit cause I slayed your bitch
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick
And now you're, actin raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your hoe, wanna marry your hoe
Now she's mad at me, causer Your Majesty, just happened to be a pimp
What a tragedy
She wanted, us to end, cause I fucked with friends
She gave me one more chance and I fucked her again
I seen her tears as she busted in, I said, "Shit.
there's a draft, shut the door bitch and come on in!"
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 wanna 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 that 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
Hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me
Like it or not
Right now
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
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
I can't feel
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Bleed It Out
Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw \'em up and let something shine
Going out of my fucking mind
Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from atop these roofs
Knot it tight so I won\'t get loose
Truth is, you can stop and stare
Run myself out and no one cares
Dug the trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up that\'ll reach somewhere
Yeah, someone pour it in
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away, just to throw it away
I bleed it out, go, stop the show
Drop your words and let sloppy flow
Shotgun, opera, lock and load
Cock it back and then watch it go
Mama, help me, I\'ve been cursed
Death is rollin\' in every verse
Candy paint on his brand new hearse
Can\'t contain him, he knows he works
Fuck, this hurts, I won\'t lie
Doesn\'t matter how hard I try
Half the words don\'t mean a thing
And I know that I won\'t be satisfied
So I try ignoring him
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away, just to throw it away
I bleed it out, I\'ve opened up these scars
I\'ll make you face this
I\'ve pulled myself so far
I\'ll make you face this now
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away, just to throw it away
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away, just to throw it away
I bleed it out
