| By Myself What do I do to ignore them behind me? Do I follow my instincts blindly? Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams And give into 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 IÕm stretched so thin I make the right move but IÕm 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 find I canÕt rely on myself I can't hold on (To what I want when IÕm stretched so thin) ItÕs just too much to take in I canÕt hold on (To what I want when IÕm stretched so thin) ItÕs all too much to take in I can't hold on To anything watching every spin Without thoughts of failure sinking in If I Turn my back IÕm defenseless And 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 then IÕll be outdone But if I try to catch them then IÕll be outrun If IÕm killed by the questions a cancer Then IÕll be buried in the silence of the answer By my self IÕve lost so much IÕm so afraid And IÕm out of touch How do you expect I will know what to do When all I know Is what you tell me to? DonÕt you (know) I canÕt tell you how to make it (go) No matter what it do, how hard I (try) I canÕt seem to convince myself (why) IÕm stuck on the outside DonÕt you (know) I canÕt tell you how to make it (go) No matter what it do, how hard I (try) I canÕt seem to convince myself (why) IÕm stuck on the outside I canÕt hold on (To what I want when IÕm stretched so thin) ItÕs all too much to take in I canÕt hold on (To anything watching everything spin) With thoughts of failure sinking in I canÕt hold on (To what I want when IÕm stretched so thin) ItÕs all to much to take in I canÕt hold on (To anything watching everything spin) With thoughts of failure from where... |

| Crawling Crawling in my skin These wounds they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real ThereÕs something inside me that pulls beneath the surface Consuming/confusing This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending Controlling/I canÕt seem To find myself again My walls are closing in [Without a sense of confidence IÕm convinced that thereÕs just too much pressure to take] IÕve 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 ItÕs haunting How I canÕt seem To find myself again My walls are closing in [Without a sense of confidence IÕm convinced that thereÕs just too much pressure to take] IÕve 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... [ThereÕs 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 You 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 WHOOAAA 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 I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesn't even matter I put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There's only one thing you should know I'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 |

| Morning After Caught up against the wall again, Time to chill in the bar again, Never cease to amaze my mind, So I just sleep, i sleep, i sleep, please don't, Wake me till the morning after Wake me till the morning after Cutting wounds by the fog again Lick my wounds like a dog 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 Wake me till the morning after I'm so tired there has got to be an end To the pain I feel when I'm awake and alive Alive, alive, alive and not dreamin' Caught up against the wall again Time to chill at the bar again Is that a light at the end of the tunnel That I see, I see, please let it be but don't Wake me till the morning after Wake me till the morning after Wake me till the morning after I'm so tired there has got to be an end To the pain I feel when I'm awake and alive Alive, alive, alive, and not dreamin' |

| My December This is my December. This is my time of the year. This is my December. This is all so clear. This is my December. This is my snow covered home. This is my December. This is me alone. And I... Just wish that I didn't feel. Like there was something I missed. And I... Take back all the things I said. To make you feel like that. And I... Just wish that I didn't feel. Like there was something I missed. And I... Take back all the things that I said to you. And I'd give it all away. Just to have somewhere to go to. Give it all away. To have someone to come home to. This is my December. These are my snow coloured trees. This is me pretending. This is all I need. And I... Just wish that I didn't feel. Like there was something I missed. And I... Take back all the things I said. To make you feel like that. And I... Just wish that I didn't feel. Like there was something I missed. And I... Take back all the things that I said to you. And I'd give it all away. Just to have somewhere to go to. Give it all away To have someone to come home to. This is my December. This is my time of the year. This is my December. This is all so clear. And I'd give it all away... Just to have somewhere to go to. Give it all away.... To have someone to come home to. And I'd give it all away... Just to have somewhere to go to. Give it all away.... To have someone to come home to. |

| One Step Closer I cannot take this anymore Saying everything I've said before All these words they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Less I hear the less you'll say, you'll find that out anyway Just like before... Everything you say to me Takes me one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I need a little room to breathe Cause I'm one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I find the answers aren't so clear Wish I could find a way to disappear All these thoughts they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Nothing seems to go away Over and over again Just like before... Everything you say to me Takes me one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I need a little room to breathe Cause I'm one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break Everything you say to me Takes me one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I need a little room to breathe Cause I'm one step closer to the edge And I'm about to...break! Shut up when i'm talking to you! Shut up Shut up Shut up Shut up when i'm talking to you! Shut up Shut up Shut up Shut up I'm about to break! Everything you say to me Takes me one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I need a little room to breathe Cause I'm one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break Everything you say to me Takes me one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I need a little room to breathe Cause I'm one step closer to the edge And I'm about to....break! |
| Papercut Why does it feel like night today? Something in hereÕs not right todayÉ Why am I so uptight today? ParanoiaÕs all I got left I donÕt 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 ItÕs 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 itÕs time to sink or swim That the face inside is hearing me / right underneath my skin ItÕs like IÕm / paranoid lookinÕ over my back ItÕs like a / whirlwind inside of my head ItÕs like I / canÕt stop what IÕm hearing within ItÕs like the face inside is right beneath my skin I know IÕve got a face in me points out all my mistakes to me YouÕve got a face on the inside too and Your paranoiaÕs probably worse I donÕt know what set me off first but I know what I canÕt stand Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is I canÕt 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 every time they lie A face that laughs every time they fall (And watches everything) So you know that when itÕs time to sink or swim That the face inside is watching you too / right inside your skin The sun goes down I feel the light betray me |

| Part Of Me Part of me won't go away Everyday reminded how much I hate it Weighted against the consequences Can't live without it so it's senseless Wanna cut it out of my soul And just live with a gaping hole Take control of my life And wash out all the burnt taste I made the problems in the first place Hang my head low cause it's part of me You hardly see right next to the heart of me Hurting me, the routine scar New cuts cover where the old ones are And I'm sick of this I can't stand the sandpaper thoughts that grate 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 (freedom can 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 will 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 aught to be Every time I see myself I see 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 Swallowing me I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me |

| With You I woke up in a dream today To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floor Forgot all about yesterday Remembering IÕm pretending to be where IÕm not anymore A little taste of hypocrisy And IÕm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react Even though youÕre so close to me YouÕre still so distant and I canÕt bring you back Chorus ItÕs true the way I feel Was promised by your face The sound of your voice Painted on my memories Even if youÕre not with me IÕm with you You know I see keeping everything inside With you You know I see even when I close my eyes I hit you and you hit me back We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still Fine line between this and that When things go wrong I pretend the past isnÕt real Now I'm trapped in this memory And IÕm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react Even though youÕre close to me YouÕre still so distant and I canÕt bring you back Chorus No No matter how far we've come I can't wait to see tomorrow No matter how far we've come I can't wait to see tomorrow With You You know I see keeping everything inside With You You know I see even when I close my eyes (Repeat) |

| 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 that 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'm 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'm 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'm 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 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 |

| Breaking the Habit Memories consume Like opening the wound IÕm picking me apart again You all assume IÕm safe here in my room (unless I try to start again) I donÕt want to be the one The battles always choose ÔCause inside I realize That IÕm the one confused I donÕt know whatÕs worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I donÕt know why I instigate And say what I donÕt mean I donÕt know how I got this way I know itÕs not alright So IÕm 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 IÕll paint it on the walls ÔCause IÕm the one at fault IÕll never fight again And this is how it ends I donÕt know whatÕs worth fighting for Or why I have to scream But now I have some clarity To show you what I mean I donÕt know how I got this IÕll never be alright So IÕm Breaking the habit Breaking the habit Tonight |
