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 allright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
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 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'll never be allright
So I'm
Breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight
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 allright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm 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
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
i won't waste myself on you
waste myself on you
you
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
everything from the inside
and just throw it all away
cause i swear / for the last time
i won't trust myself with you
Numb
[Chester]
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless
Lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure
Of walking in your shoes
[Mike] Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
[Chester]
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All i want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
[Chester]
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
[Mike] Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
[Chester] Every step that i take is another mistake to you
[Mike] Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow
[Chester] And every second i waste is more than I can take
[Chester]
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All i want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
[Chester]
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me
With someone disappointed in you
[Chester]
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
Become so tired
So much more aware
I'm becoming this
All i want to do
Is be more like me
And be less like you
[Chester]
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
[Tired of being what you want me to be]
I've
Become so numb
I can't feel you there
[Tired of being what you want me to be]
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 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 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
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 (2X)
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
Somewhere i belong
(When this began) I had nothing to say and I 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
that they can see the words revealed,Is the only real thing that
I got left to
feel,(Nothing to do)Just stuck hollow and alone,And the fault is
my own, And the
fault is my own...
Chorus
I want to heal, I want to feel,
What I thought was never real,I want to let go of the pain I've
felt so
long, (Erase all the pain until 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) Look at
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,Because I
can't justify the way
everyone is looking at me,(Nothing to lose)Nothing to gain I'm
hollow and
alone,And the fault is my own, And the fault is my own...
Chorus
I want to heal, I want to feel,
What I thought was never real,
I want to let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain until 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...
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 until I break
away from me,I will break away, I'll find myself today...
Chorus (repeat until end)
I want to heal, I want to feel,
What I thought was never real,
I want to let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain until 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...

Forfeit the game
before somebody else takes you out of the frame
and 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'd 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 only share what you’ve been through
(You live what you've learned)
You love the things I say I do
The way I hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, my pride, is broken
You'd 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 only share what you’ve been through
(You live what you've learned)
Forfeit the game
before somebody else takes you out of the frame
and 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
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 is that
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
I wasted it all
just to watch you go
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 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
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
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 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
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
Chorus:
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 they close their eyes
A face watches everytime they lie
A face that laughs everytime 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
[Chorus]
(the face inside is right beneath your skin 3x after chorus)
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
[Repeat Chorus 4x]
(The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me) said with chorus
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,
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,
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...(2x)
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...
One step closer
I cannot take this anymore Saying everything I’ve said before
All these words, they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
But you'll find that out anyway
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts, they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again (x5)
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
I'm about to break!
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe
And I'm about to break!
Break!
These are the places where I can't feel
Torn from my body, my flesh it heals
During this ride we can fall apart
Waiting alone I can not resist
Feeling this hate I have never missed
Please someone give me a reason to rip of my face
Blood is a pouring and pouring and pouring..
Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up! (blood is pouring)
Shut up! (blood is pouring)
Shut up! (blood is pouring)
Shut up when I'm talking to you!
Shut up! (blood is pouring)
Shut up! (blood is pouring)
Shut up! (blood is pouring)
Shut up! I’m about to break!
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
And I’m about to..
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..
