lyrics Linkin Park

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


Breaking The Habit
Linkin Park


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 alright
so 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'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 alright
so i'm
breaking the habit
breaking the habit
tonight

In The End

[00:18]It starts with one thing
[00:20]I don't know why
[00:21]It doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind
[00:24]I designed this rhyme
[00:25]To explain in due time
[00:27]All I know
[00:28]Time is a valuable thing
[00:30]Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
[00:32]Watch it count down to the end of the day
[00:34]The clock ticks life away
[00:36]It's so unreal
[00:37]Didn't look out below
[00:39]Watch the time go right out the window
[00:41]Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
[00:43]Wasted it all just to watch you go
[00:47]I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
[00:50]What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when

[02:46][01:49][00:54]I tried so hard
[02:48][01:51][00:56]And got so far
[02:51][01:54][00:59]But in the end
[02:52][01:55][01:00]It doesn't even matter
[02:55][01:58][01:03]I had to fall
[02:57][02:00][01:05]To lose it all
[03:00][02:03][01:08]But in the end
[03:01][02:04][01:10]It doesn't even matter

[01:13]One thing, I don't know why
[01:15]It doesn’t even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind
[01:18]I designed this rhyme, to explain in due time
[01:22]I tried so hard
[01:23]In spite of the way you were mocking me
[01:25]Acting like I was part of your property
[01:27]Remembering all the times you fought with me
[01:30]I'm surprised it got so (far)
[01:32]Things aren't the way they were before
[01:34]You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
[01:36]Not that you knew me back then
[01:38]But it all comes back to me (in the end)
[01:42]You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
[01:45]What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I

Chorus

[02:28][02:09]I’ve put my trust in you
[02:32][02:14]Pushed as far as I can go
[02:36][02:18]And for all this
[02:39][02:21]There's only one thing you should know (2x) Chorus

One Step Closer

[00:20]I cannot take this anymore
[00:25]I'm saying everything I've said before
[00:30]All these words they make no sense
[00:32]I find bliss in ignorance
[00:35]Less I hear the less you'll say
[00:37]But you'll find that out anyway

[01:15][00:41]Just like before...

[02:21][02:11][01:29][01:18][00:44]Everything you say to me
[02:23][02:13][01:30][01:20][00:46]Takes me one step closer to the edge
[02:25][02:15][01:33][01:22][00:48]And I'm about to break
[02:27][02:17][01:34][01:24][00:49]I need a little room to breathe
[02:28][02:18][01:35][01:25][00:51]Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
[02:30][02:20][01:37][01:27][00:53]And I'm about to break

[00:54]I find the answers aren't so clear
[00:59]Wish I could find a way to disappear
[01:04]All these thoughts they make no sense
[01:06]I find bliss in ignorance
[01:09]Nothing seems to go away
[01:11]Over and over again

Chorus

[01:59][01:49]Shut up when I'm talking to you
[02:00][01:50]Shut up, shut up, shut up (2x)

[02:10]I’m about to break!

RUNAWAY:

Graffiti decorations
Underneath a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

Gonna run away...


Crawling

[02:43][02:24][01:27][00:23]Crawling in my skin
[02:47][02:29][01:32][00:28]These wounds, they will not heal
[02:51][02:33][01:36][00:32]Fear is how I fall
[02:56][02:37][01:41][00:37]Confusing what is real

[03:01][00:51]There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
[03:06][00:56]Consuming, confusing
[03:10][01:00]This lack of self control I fear is never ending
[03:15][01:05]Controlling

[01:07]I can't seem
[01:09]To find myself again
[01:12]My walls are closing in
[01:14](Without a sense of confidence I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take)
[01:19]I've felt this way before
[01:21]So insecure

Chorus

[01:46]Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
[01:50]Distracting, reacting
[01:55]Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
[02:00]It's haunting how I can't seem...

[02:04]To find myself again
[02:07]My walls are closing in
[02:08](Without a sense of confidence I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take)
[02:14]I've felt this way before
[02:16]So insecure

Chorus (Repeat until end)

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling (Whispered during chorus)

Papercut

[00:23]Why does it feel like night today?
[00:24]Something in here's not right today.
[00:26]Why am I so uptight today?
[00:28]Paranoia's all I got left
[00:29]I don't know what stressed me first
[00:31]Or how the pressure was fed
[00:32]But I know just what it feels like
[00:34]To have a voice in the back of my head
[00:36]It's like a face that I hold inside
[00:37]A face that awakes when I close my eyes
[00:39]A face watches every time I lie
[00:40]A face that laughs every time I fall
[00:42](And watches everything)
[00:43]So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
[00:45]That the face inside is hearing me
[00:47]Right underneath my skin

[01:40][01:27][00:48]It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
[01:42][01:30][00:51]It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
[01:46][01:33][00:54]It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
[01:49][01:36][00:57]It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

[01:01]I know I've got a face in me
[01:03]Points out all my mistakes to me
[01:04]You've got a face on the inside too and
[01:06]Your paranoia's probably worse
[01:08]I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can't stand
[01:10]Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
[01:12]I can't add up to what you can but
[01:14]Everybody has a face that they hold inside
[01:16]A face that awakes when I close my eyes
[01:17]A face watches every time they lie
[01:19]A face that laughs every time they fall
[01:20](And watches everything)
[01:21]So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
[01:23]That the face inside is watching you too
[01:26]Right inside your skin

Chorus

The face inside is right beneath your skin (3x)

[02:30][02:18][02:05]The sun goes down
[02:41][02:28][02:15]I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end)

By Myself

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)

Pre chorus:
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 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)

Pre chorus
Chorus

How do you think I've lost so much
I'm so afraid, I'm 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

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 covered 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

Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away

Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

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

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

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
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’ve got left to feel

(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long

(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna 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)
Looking 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
’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me

(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

[chorus]

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 till I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today

[chorus]

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong
