Linkin Park Lyrics
Xero Sampler Tape
Moving all around Screaming of the ups and downs Pollution manifested in perpetual sound And as wheels go round the sunset creeps past the Street lamps, cars, chain-links, and concrete A window then grows and captures the eye And crys out yellow light as it passes it by A small black figure sits in front of a box Inside a box a rock with the needles on top
1. Rhinestone
Nothing stops in this land of the chain When brains lose not knowing they were part of the game And the insides go but the box stays the same In shame, shovel up the pieces to the pain You could try to hide yourself in the world of pretend When the paper's crumbled up it can't be perfect again
From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core of the rotton Stop and just what I thought The sun has escaped us So I'm bright in the sky And I'm far from rapist Look at why did try
From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core of the rotton Stop and just what I thought The sun has escaped us So I'm bright in the sky And I'm far from rapist Look at why did try
From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core of the rotton Stop and just what I thought The sun has escaped us So I'm bright in the sky And I'm far from rapist Look at why did try
From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core of the rotton Stop and just what I thought The sun has escaped us So I'm bright in the sky And I'm far from rapist Look at why did try
From the thread to the needle, middle to end When skies C-oc C -ockk back and shock that which couldn't defend The rain then sends dripping acidic questions Forcefully, the power of suggestion Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust and rotten dust A spot of light floods the floor And pours itself upon a world of pretend Then the eyes ease open and its dark again
In a minute you'll find me Eyes burn me up You say you'll never forget me But the lies have piled up
XERO SAMPLER TAPE (1997)
From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core of the rotton Stop and just what I thought The sun has escaped us So I'm bright in the sky And I'm far from rapist Look at why did try From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core of the rotton Stop and just what I thought The sun has escaped us So I'm bright in the sky And I'm far from rapist Look at why did try In a minute you'll find me Eyes burn me up You say you'll never forget me But the lies have piled up

Linkin Park Lyrics
Why not What a keep Why not What a keep Why not What a keep Why not give me what I came to deserve Why not give me what I came to believe Why not give me what I came to deserve Why not give me what I came to believe Reading my eyes will say it in many ways Losing my pride will save it in many days
2. Reading my eyes The Microph Micro phone one Molesta' The chevy undresser Stupid dope fresh tight shit resurrector Top gun man mod best of the besta' The living MC peace and resta' Still tested the flexed gunna' The make funna the appisary make runna' Make summa cold with rhymes that spit Get gifted, lifted, deliquent 'wit I be the prophet, in my hand Top it, stop it, felt like rockin when I rock it Locked it down with this perverse verse Every fuckin' curse I burst to hurt Room crowds physical fitness rhymes Coke heads couldn't do my lines Decorated like christmas pines with Italian rocks MCs become silohetes in shock Reading my eyes will say it in many ways Losing my pride will save it in many days Hit the dirt Because the words I spit will do more than just rip your shirt I'll bitch slap your soul Track the track control You coming at me? You can't hack it though So rediculous Watching my crew get sick of this Wickedness Pitchin this Lyrical brichisness To crews and cliques Maiden, men, and mistresses This is my life The twilight, the fight night And trying to see nothing but the highlights When I write These eyes on horizons Top of Mike, start cries on to Krylon Fire on, rude men telekenetically telekenetically As aterically beats become a clarity Feel averity's heroism, and heracy And severe every MC I see with Neverity Reading my eyes will say it in many ways Losing my pride will save it in many days

3. Fuse Of course you know what a fuse is... It's a long piece of cord impregnated with gun powder When you strike a match and light it It burns, fitfully, spiralling to its end At which there is, a little surprise From the planet of Krypton, short suit MCs you'll be ripped on You fell off and it's my lyric sheet you slipped on Get gone, spit on mic's made in Hong Kong Rock on, sing songs mightier than King King or Donkey (Kong), you think you want me or want this? You want some? hold your reputation for Ransom With these here, handsomely crafted tactics To break a snake and see like a cheap prophylactic Galactic, space now yeah that grabs attention Crack heads nodded like li ke a pest can't even mention Right a pat traps gas tracks in sections Kid says this? he'll need witness protection! Try to see what I Can’t be seeing I'll be here Try to see what I Can’t be seeing I'll be here Yo dig this, (dig this),yo it's the junkyard crooked letter C-I-entific Duck us, the ruckus I'll bring stings sting s your eardrum Hear one, lalala loose frind me fearsome Opposing troops on my home front shall be gone Testing the eight-hundred, eighteenth battalion Shallow the one who's run like rebels Enola gay rhymes kicked the notch up a level In intensity, send back the tax that you sent to me Blow up your spot with grenades that were meant for me MP3 versus R33 MCs, swiss change your gear putting shrapnel in the breeze We're MCs with enemy companies with my hand full of lyrics talking 'bout you want these? Please! Don’t even speak the name of channels and low gadget mic shit put it down like pens
By Gelu
Linkin Park Lyrics For my friends and my fam let them dodge it around this mic shot through the back of an MCs hand With the strength that he had a bridge you don't want that close body fields in hand to hand combat Battle cats, it's like the sectional speech warfare words flashing at cord icy Can be affording whenever the shots get lit, don't question my intention when your butt gets kicked Try to see what I Cant be seeing I'll be here Tech broke italic syllabalic attacks Try to see what I Cant be seeing I'll be here You want these MCs with lyrical back smacks! (Whispered) Go ahead! suit yourself! Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself! Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself! Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself! Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself! Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself! Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself! Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself! Why wait, I shouldn't of told myself!
Xero Sampler Tape Full metal jacket fully auto rhyme pattern And I see what I have, I want you To be with me or Stick n' Move Now I see what I had, and I want you To be with me or Stick n' Move Stick it, rock your whole clique and I'm wicked, Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it Stick it, rock your whole clique and I'm wicked, Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it Stick it, rock your whole clique and I'm wicked, Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it Stick it, rock your whole clique and I'm wicked, Move it, moving all the tunes and you groove it And I see what I have, I want you To be with me or Stick n' Move Now I see what I had, and I want you To be with me or Stick n' Move

4. Stick n’ move This is how it's done going for the title and crown Renowned MC's surround as the beat breaks down In 2 elements clobbin' up those took the best of us, The M-I see the way it ought to be finessed and yes, yes am I the one to keep you on your toes? (most) Definitely Definite ly in my b-boy pose, the-a electric electri c pulling you in with a slight twist, Touch your chin to your chest to the rhythm like this And I see what I have, I want you To be with me or Stick n' Move Now I see what I had, and I want you To be with me or Stick n' Move MC's dogging me since the first day I grabbed the mic Now it's like Sit! Stay! Cobra path lifestyles I’m kickin' Stickin' MC's real quick 'cause times tickin' At the drop of the defense, I let loose the venom Sendin', a tribal verbal heat up in em' The ending will come, if you dont grab your family and run Apocalyptic rhyme pattern taking shots at the sun Record industry rule, four-thousand-eight four-thousand-eightyy -one Question Question my intentions and your whole world is i s done Like wars to Rome, turn your eyeballs into Saturn

Linkin Park Lyrics
Hybrid Theory Demo CD Adding to the panic in my confine I wanna live in another place Where no one can say that I live for them (Start seeing it's not meant to be for me) I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy A place for my head You try to take the best of me Go away [x8]
HYBRID THEORY DEMO CD (1999)
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
1. Esául (A place for my head) Riding with the head full of bodies of red And when this X is still stuck in my head But mis-led thinking the things I do Would make you never wanna come back But an on-front on- front attack So you could never run from that Being trapped in this but you Some that I never wanted to do But through it all you've got to see That where I want to be Is over the pen again Letting it out of me In the center of the day In a dream Seeing all my thoughts Getting lost in between Realizing one Not the way that it seems And the killing and the killer with a head full of screams I wanna live in another place Where no one can say that I live for them (Start seeing its not meant to be for me) 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 Knowing no matter how low Hoping that you won't know The strain it puts to me, seeing what you've done And consequently I've run away, just hidden again Within the boundaries of an anguish Don't 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 in 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

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 in 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 in my confine
2. Super Xero (By myself) What do I do to ignore what's behind me? Do I follow my fate to escape blindly? Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams? And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening? Do I let it go 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 none and live in loneliness? Because sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men 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 give in to fate seems senseless If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they'll Take from me till everything is gone

Linkin Park Lyrics
If I let them go I'll be outdone But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer By myself (myself) I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself (myself) I ask why, but in my mind I find I can't rely on myself I can't hold on To what I want when I'm stretched so thin It's all too much to take in I can't hold on To anything watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in How do you think I've lost so much I'm so afraid I'm now out of touch How do you expect I will know what to do When all I know is what you tell me to Don't you know I can't tell you how to make it go No matter what I do how hard I try I can't seem to convince myself why I'm stuck on the outside [x2] I can't hold on To what I want when I'm stretched so thin It's all too much to take in I can't hold on To anything watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in [x2]

HYBRID THEORY EP (1999) 1. Carousel She can't hide no matter how hard she tries Her secret disguised behind the 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 is she alright All she wants to do is get rid of this hell Well all she's got to do is stop kidding herself She can only fool herself for so long She can only fool herself for so long She can only fool herself for so long I'm too weak to face me (She can only fool herself) I never know just why you y ou 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 got everything under control Thinks he knows he's not a problem he's stuck with But in reality reality it would 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 He can only fool himself for so long He can only fool himself for so long I'm too weak to face me (He can only fool himself) 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 [Background stuff] 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 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

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 e mcee 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? Who can rock a rhyme like this? Step, step up, step, step up So you pick up a pen and write yourself yoursel f a new identity 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 *** And get smacked with verbal back flips Get your *** 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) Who can rock a rhyme like this? Bring it to you every time like this? Who can rock a rhyme like this? Step, step up, step, step up Who can rock a rhyme like this? Bring it to you every time like this? Who can rock a rhyme like this?

4. And one Where should I start Disjointed heart I’ve got no commitment To my own flesh and blood Left all alone Far from my home No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart, I Keep it locked up inside 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 ma You helped me to show me It's to late to love me ma You don't even know me Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace 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 Keep it locked up inside Keep my distance from your lies 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 Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Breaking a part of my heart to find release Taking you out of my blood to bring me peace Keep my distance

Linkin Park Lyrics Keep my distance Keep my distance Keep my distance [slows to rap solo] Spit drips from the jaw of the witless witness Cryptic colloquialism shifts your midriff Dark all I do embark the shadows Involved with my thought catalogue, analogue, rap catalogue Keep my distance, and fear resistance, hurt by persistence The twisted web of tangled lies Strangles my hope to waste and numbs the taste And I'm forced to face these hate crimes Against the state of being Feeling the weight-less-ness pressed between the ceiling Reeling around around room Riding a bubble of sound proof It's the frequency making you Sha-Shake with every boom Involuntary muscle contraction Ignoring and drinking musical gas field euphoria The sound pounds to make the dead flush To have you a head rush with red thoughts and said stuff
5. High voltage Just do something to tell you who I am, ya know? It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out I've been taking into crates ever since I was livin in space Before the retrace, before monkeys had human traits Mastered numerology and big bang theology Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology Invented the mic so I could start blessin it And chincheckin 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 **** with or without an accomplish (Mixed media) The stamp of approval is on this It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out It's high voltage you cant shake the shock

Linkin Park Lyrics Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out 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 krylon Technicolor type A On highways ripe 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 with 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 While you risk it all, I pick out of your flaws Spin, blah blah blah blah You can say you saw It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out It's high voltage you cant shake the shock Because nobody wants it to stop, check it out
6. Part of me After this song there is static for awhile and eventually a secret instrumental part. Part of me won’t go away Everyday reminded how much I hate it Weighted against the 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

Cut myself free willingly Stop just what’s killing me Cut myself free willingly Stop just what’s killing me Cut myself free willingly Stop just what’s killing me 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 Cut myself free willingly Stop just what’s killing me Cut myself free willingly Stop just what’s killing me Cut myself free willingly Stop just what’s killing me Cut myself free willingly Stop just what’s killing me I feel it everyday I feel I made my way I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside Swallowing me (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 ought to be Every time I see myself there’s always something wrong with me Everywhere I look around I see how everyone ought to be Every time I see myself there’s always something wrong with me) I feel it everyday I feel I made my way I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside Swallowing me I feel it everyday I feel I made my way I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside

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 beneath 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 the 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 they close close their 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 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 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 the face inside is right beneath my skin

Linkin Park Lyrics I can't wait to see tomorrow No, no matter how far we've come I 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 With you You, now I see, keeping kee ping everything inside with you You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
4. Points of authority 3. With you yo u 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
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 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 you’re never wrong (You live what you’ve learned) You have to act like you’re someone (You live what you’ve learned) You want someone to hurt like you (You live what you’ve learned) You want to share what you’ve been through (You live what you’ve learned)
You, now I see, keeping everything inside with you You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
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
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 I'm trapped in this memory And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react So even though you're close to me You're still so distant And I can't bring you back
You like to think you’re never wrong (You live what you’ve learned) You want to act like you’re someone (You live what you’ve learned) You want someone to hurt like you (You live what you’ve learned) You want to share what you’ve been through (You live what you’ve learned)
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 With you 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

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 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 (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 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/ controll ing/confusing confusing what is real

Hybrid I've been diggin in crates ever since I was livin in space Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits I mastered numerology, big band theology, performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology Invented the mic to so I can start blessin it Chin-checkin' kids to make my point like an impressionist Many men have tried to shake us But I twist mic chords like double helixes to show them what I'm made of I buckle knees like leg braces cast a spell of instrumentalist on all of you MC's who hate us So you can try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on From now to infinite, let icon be bygones I fire bombs, ghostly notes haunt this I tried threats, but moved on to a promise I stomp **** with or without an accomplice And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this High voltage This is the unforgettable sound High voltage Bringin you up and takin you down High voltage Comin at you from every side High voltage Making the rhythm and rhyme collide Akira, I've put a kink in the backbones, of clones, with microphones Never satisfied my rhymes Jones Spraying bright day over what you might say My blood types krylon, Technicolor type A On highways write with road rage Cages a win, cages a tin, that bounce all around Surround sound Devouring the scenes Subliminal gangrene paintings, over all the same things Sing songs karaoke copy bull**** Break bones verbally with sticks and stones tactics Forth dimension, compact convention Write rhymes with ease while the track stands at attention Meant to put you away, with the pencil Pistol, official, sixteen line, a rhyme missile While you risk your all I pick out at your flaws Singing rah blah, blah, blah you can say you saw High voltage This is the unforgettable sound High voltage Bringin you up and takin you down High voltage Comin at you from every side High voltage Making the rhythm and rhyme collide High voltage

Reanimation Come on! 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) With you (You, now I see, even when I close my eyes) With you (You, now I see, keeping everything inside) With you (You, now I see, even when I close my eyes) With you Ughhhh! I hit you and you hit me back And we fall to the floor The rest of the day stands still Fine line between this and that But 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) With you (You, now I see, keeping everything inside) With you (You, now I see, even when I close my eyes) Ughhhh! (No) I wont let you control my fate While I'm holding the weight of the world on my conscience (No) I wont just sit here and wait while you weighin your options Your makin a fool of me (No) You didn't dare to try and say you don't care And solemnly swear not to follow me there (No) It aint like me to beg on my knees Or, please oh baby please That's not how I'm doin things

Reanimation Reanimation (No) No I'm not upset, no I'm not angry I know love is love and love sometimes, it doesn't pay me (No) I'm never without you, I'll always be with you You'll never forget me, I'm keeping you with me (No) I wont let you take me to the end of my row Or keep burning and torching my soul (No) No I'm not your puppet And no, no, no, I wont let you go No, no matter how far we've come I can't wait to see tomorrow No matter how far we've come I, 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) With you (You, now I see, keeping everything inside) With you (You, now I see, even when I close my eyes) Ughhhhh!
Linkin Park Lyrics Whenever I call nobody's responding at all But I don't who I could trust they screaming my name I need somebody to help me out of the flame all I’m tryin to do is just master me all I want to do is smoke a blaster beat but something keeps talking to me consciously responsibly it keeps haunting me From dusk till dawn Everything has something for ya That voice inside of your head got to projected, Paranoia cold sweat. Shining on your face exposing your purpose and if I ripped off your skin I’d probably find another verse Its nothin worse than trying to bring yourself up back from the dead so I advise you listen to that voice in the back of your head [CHORUS] the face inside is right beneath your skin [4x] The sun goes down I feel the light betray me [3x] [CHORUS 2x]

13. PPr:Kut PPr:Ku t Why does it feel like night today Something in here’s here’s not right today Why I am so uptight today 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 Like a face that I hold inside A face that awakes when I close my eyes Face that watches everytime I lie Face that laughs everytime I fall and watches everything So I know that when its time to sink or swim The face inside is hearing me right beneath my skin [CHORUS] Its like I’m paranoid looking over my back Its like a whirlwind inside of my head Its like I can't stop what I’m hearing within Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin hey yo, here we go again with the pain I feel isn't real but in my mind But I find myself in places with names, but not faces My memory races at speeds hundred degrees My soul (it bleeds?) devil must’ve planted the seed Now it feels like my backs against the wall, I'm taking the fall

Lying from you When I pretend everything everything is what I want it to be I look exactly like what you always wanted to see When I pretend, 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 the way it’ll stay I’m just (Lying 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 cuz 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 for who I ought to be Remember listening to all of that and this again So I pretended up a person who was fittin’ in And now you think this person really is me and I’m (Trying to bend the truth) Cuz the more I push the more I’m pulling away cuz 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 cuz I can see) No no turning back now (The very worst part of you) (The very worst part of you is ME) This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would have you running from me Like This

Linkin Park Lyrics This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would have you running from me Like This This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would have you running from me Like This This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would have you running from me Like This (You) 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 cuz I can see) No no turning back now (The very worst part of you) (The very worst part of you is me)
5. Hit the floor There are just too many times that people 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 what 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 said about me when I’m not around You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down But I’ve had too many standoffs 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) Next you're not watch you drop (Making your heart stop) Just before you hit the floor (One minute you're on top) Next you're not missed a shot (Making you're heart stop) You think you've won (And then it's all gone) 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 you crossed the line What goes up will surely fall and I’m counting down the time Cause I’ve had so many standoffs with you it’s about as much as I can stand So I’m waiting until the upper hand is mine

Linkin Park Lyrics (One minute you're on top) Next you're not watch you drop (Making your heart stop) Just before you hit the floor (One minute you're yo u're on top) Next you're not missed a shot (Making you're heart stop) You think you've won (And then it's all gone) (And then he’s all gone) (And then it's all gone) (And then he’s all gone) (Now 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 (One minute you're on top) Next you're not watch you drop (Making your heart stop) Just before you hit the floor (One minute you're on top) Next you're not missed a shot (Making you're heart stop) You think you've won (And then it's all gone) (And then he’s all gone) (And then it's all gone) (And then he’s all gone) (Now it’s all gone)
6. Easier to run It’s easier to run run Replacing this pain with something more It’s so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone Something has been taken from deep inside of me The secret I’ve kept locked away no one can ever see Wounds so deep they never show they never go away 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) (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) (I would take all my shame to the grave) It’s easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It’s so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone
Meteora (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (If I could take all the shame to the grave I would) (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) (I would take all my shame to the grave) Just watching in the sun All of my helplessness inside Pretending I don’t feel misplaced It’s so much simpler to change It’s easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It’s so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone It’s easier to run (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made) It’s easier to go (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) (I would take all my shame to the grave)
7. Faint I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard Handful of complaints but I can’t help the fact that everybody can see these scars I am what I want you to want what I want you to feel But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, 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 want what I've 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) 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 say 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've got
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’d never be a path
(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)
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)

8. Figure.09 Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin' It's like nothing I can do would distract me when I think of how I shot myself in the back again Cuz from the infinite words I can say I Put all 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 (Never goes away) (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) (Giving up a part of me) (I've let myself become you) Hearing your name the memories come back again I remember when it started happening I see you n’ 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 em n’ everyday I regret saying those things cuz now I see that I Took what I hated and made it a part of me (Never goes away) (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) fear) (I can't separate) (Myself from what I've done)

9. Breaking the habit Memories consume 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 a habit I'm breaking a habit tonight Cultured my cure I tightly lock the door I try to catch my breath again I hurt much more

10. From the inside in side 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 (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

11. Nobody's listening Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it The number one question is how could you ignore it And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks Rap stack got you back in the sub black Rewind that we just rolling with the rhythm Rise from the ashes of stylist division With these non-stop lyrics of life living Not to be forgotten but still unforgiving But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt it goes (Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me) Told you everything loud and clear (But nobody’s listening) (Called 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 Head full of anger, held in my chest And everything left’s 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 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 sig hts on 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 (Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me) Told you everything loud and clear (But nobody’s listening) (Called 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 Head full of anger, held in my chest Uphill struggle

Linkin Park Lyrics 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 and didn’t even know I wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so H to the izz-O, izz- O, V to the izz-A LP, Jay-Z, Help me out We'll have a good old time out there It starts with H to the izz-O, izz- O, V to the izz-A LP, Jay-Z, Help me out We'll have a good old time out there It starts with H to the izz-O, izz- O, V to the izz-A LP, Jay-Z, Help me out Yeah, yeah, yes it's here ladys and gentleman

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 retrace, before before monkeys had human traits I mastered numerology and big bang 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 **** 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 yo u 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 bull**** 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 flaws Spin rah, blah blah blah You can say you saw

2. It's going down (The X-Ecutioners) (featuring Mr. Hahn & Mike Shinoda) 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 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-futureesque 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 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 A logical progression on the timeline The separation narrowed down to a fine line To blur the edges so they blend together properly Take u on a an audible odyssey Now it’s going down Put put put it up It said it goes like this And you do it like this It’s going down Put put it up It said it go- go- goes like this And you do it like this Its going down Once again it is Composed sentences all together venomous The four elements of natural force Projected Proje cted 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 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 after Wake me till the morning after 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 Wake me till the morning after

4. Wonderful (Stone temple pilots)
I spread through the morning I'm kicking in the twilight as she comes Time waits at a darling Spooning the thickness and feeding our open mouths The price you pay is always Too high, or too familiar Sunshine, Karma Killer Time waits at the darling When your following the animals around (around) I spread through the morning Feeding our open mouths and spooning the thickness out The price you pay is always Too high, or too familiar Sunshine, Karma Killer
(featuring Chester Bennington)
Too high, or too familiar Sunshine, Karma Killer
If I were to die this mornin' Would you tell me things that you wouldn't have? Would you be my navigator? Would you take me to a place we could hide?
My eyes are weary now My eyes are weary My eyes are weary now
As I'm fallin' out I wonder what I lost Must be movin' on Know I'll be safe but not alone
Too high, or too familiar Sunshine, Karma Killer Too high, or too familiar Sunshine, Karma Killer
I wanna ask you to forgive me I haven't been the best with all that I had Wish I'd only laid beside you I think I spread myself a little too thin
Karma Killer Will I ever miss you?
As I'm fallin' out I wonder what I lost Must be movin' on Know I'll be safe but not alone
6. System (Chester Bennington)
You're the everything That led me to believe, "Hold on, hold on" You're the wonder in everything That's wonderful As I'm fadin' out I don't feel anything at all Must be movin' on Know you'll be safe but not alone You're the everything That led me to believe, "Hold on, hold on" You're the wonder in everything That's wonderful Know you'll be safe but not alone

(Queen of the damned OST) Sys...tem... Sys...tem... Sys...tem... 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 Will be fine Then your body will be mine So many words Can't describe my face This feeling's evolved So soon to great bounds I can't relate to a happy state Feeling the blood run inside

7. By myself (Marylin Manson remix) 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 [myself] I can't rely on myself [myself] I ask why, but in my mind I find I can´t rely on myself
Linkin Park Lyrics I find I can´t rely on myself In my mind I find 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 to uch 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 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 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
I can't hold on To what I want when I'm stretched so thin It's all too much to take in I can't hold on To anything watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in If I Turn my back I'm defenseless And to go blindly seems senseless If I hide my pride and let it all go on / then they'll Take from me 'till everything is gone If I let them go I'll be outdone But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer By myself [myself] I ask why [myself] I can't rely on myself [myself] I ask why, but in my mind
