turn my
mic up louder i got to say something
lightweights step it aside when we come in
feel it in your chest / the syllables get pumping
people on the street they panic and start running
words on loose leaf sheet complete coming
i jump in my mind and summon the rhyme i'm dumping
healing the blind i promise to let the sun in
sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and
jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
fuck that / i wanna see some fists pumping
risk something / take back what's yours
say something that you know they might attack you for
cause i'm sick of being treated like i have before
like it's stupid standing for what i'm standing for
like this war's really just a different brand of war
like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
like they understand you in the back of the jet /
when you
can't put gas in your tank / and these fuckers are
laughing their way to the bank / cashing the check
asking you to have compassion / have respect
for a leader so nervous in an obvious way
stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
and the rest of the world
watching at the end of the day
in their living room laughing like
what did he say

in my living room watching
/ i am not laughing / cause
when it gets tense i know what might happen
the world is cold / the bold men make action
have to react or get blown into fractions
ten years old / it's something to see / another
kid my age drug under a jeep
taken and bound / and found later under a tree
i wonder if he had thought the next one could be me
do you see / the soldiers / they're out today they
brush the dust from bulletproof vests away
it's ironic / at times like this you pray
but a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
there's bombs on the busses / bikes / roads
inside your market / your shops
/ your clothes / my dad
he's got a lot of fear i know
but enough pride inside not to let that show
my brother had a book he would hold with pride
a little red cover with a broken spine
on the back / he hand wrote a quote inside:
'when the rich wage war it's the poor who die'
and meanwhile / the leader just talks away
stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
both scared and angry like
what did he say
with hands held high into a sky so blue
as the ocean opens up to swallow you

Альбом: Minutes to Midnight

In this farewell
There is no blood
There is no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away

What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out
What I've become
Erase myself
And let go of
What I've done

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away

What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out
What I've become
Erase myself
And let go of
What I've done

For what I've done
I'll start again
And whatever thing
May come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving

What I've done

I'll face myself
To cross out
What I've become
Erase myself
And let go of
What I've done

What I've done

Forgiving what I've done

Альбом: Minutes to Midnight

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
sometimes solutions aren't so simple
sometimes goodbye's the only way

and the sun will set for you
the sun will set for you
and the shadow of the day
will embrace the world in grey
and the sun will set for you

in cards and flowers on your window
your friends all plead for you to stay
sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
sometimes goodbye's the only way

and the shadow after day
will embrace the world in grey
and the sun will set for you

Альбом: Minutes to Midnight

here we go for the hundredth time
hand grenade pins in every line
throw 'em up and let something shine
going out of my fuckin mind
filthy mouth / no excuse
find a new place to hang this noose
string me up from atop these roofs
knot it tight so I won't get loose
truth is / you can stop and stare
bled myself out and no one cares
dug the trench out / laid down there
with a shovel up out of reach somewhere
yeah / someone pour it in
make it a dirt dance floor again
say your prayers and stomp it out
when they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out
digging deeper just to throw it away
just to throw it away
I bleed it out

I bleed it out / go / stop the show
choppy words and a sloppy flow
shotgun opera / lock and load
cock it back and then watch it go
mama help me / i've been cursed
death is rolling in every verse
candy paint on his brand new hearse
can't contain him / he knows he works
fuck this hurts / I won't lie / doesn't matter how
hard I try
half the words don't mean a thing and I know i
won't be satisfied
so why try ignoring him
make it a dirt dance floor again
say your prayers and stomp it out
when they bring that chorus in

I open up these scars
i'll make you face this I pull myself apart
i'll make you face this
I open up these scars
i'll make you face this now

Альбом: Minutes to Midnight

I dreamed i was missing
you were so scared
but no one would listen
cause no one else cared
after my dreaming
i woke with this fear
what am i leaving
when I'm done here
so if you're asking me i want you to know

when my time comes
forget the wrong that I've done
help me leave behind some
reasons to be missed
don't resent me
and when you're feeling empty
keep me in your memory
leave out all the rest
leave out all the rest

don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what i made
I'm strong on the surface
not all the way through
I've never been perfect
but neither have you
so if you're asking me i want you to know

forgetting / all the hurt inside
you learned to hide so well
pretending / someone else can come
and save me from myself
I can't be who you are

Альбом: Minutes to Midnight

wake in a sweat again
another day's been laid to waste
in my disgrace
stuck in my head again
feels like i'll never leave this place
there's no escape
i'm my own worst enemy

i've given up
i'm sick of living
is there nothing you can say
take this all away
i'm suffocating
tell me what the fuck is wrong with me

i don't know what to take
thought i was focused but i'm scared
i'm not prepared
i hyperventilate
looking for help somehow somewhere
and you don't care
put me out of my misery

Filthy stinkin standin on solid ground
Still be sinkin submerging and the parks
Still be Linkin pluck beef when its starts, fuck what your thinking,

Im in a mother fuckin tractor from out of the garage
With an if through the duck, but its hard to dodge
In the back of that spine where my dogs' lie
Gonna flip it straight up rippin apart ya squad
X to the ecutioner style, cuts and blends
Like a syringe hangin you from each of ya limbs
See me comin through ya party hard
Without no bodyguard
Smoking something stompin on each of ya Tims
Im the B to the L the A the C king
And when it come to planning the thought to keep thinking man
Shut up [x8]

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 concience
(No)
I wont just sit here and wait while you weighin your options
Your makin a fool of me
(No)
You didnt dare to try and say you dont care
And salamly swear not to follow me there
(No)
It aint like me to beg on my knees
Or, please oh baby please
Thats not how i'm doin things
(No)
No i'm not upset, no i'm not angry
I know love is love and love sometimes, it doesnt 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!

Graffiti sky, sky, sky [echo fade]
(I don't think you all ready)

Graffiti decorations under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension still giving me away
The lessons I've forgotten
Inside of all I've learned
Now I find myself in question
(point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(point the finger at me again)

I wanna runaway
(I wanna runaway)
I wanna know the truth
(I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers
(I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door
(And open up my mind)
And open up my mind

Paper bags and angry voices under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension won't seem to go away
All my talk of starting over
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(point the finger at me again)
I'm guilty by association
(point the finger at me again)

I wanna runaway

Gonna runaway, gonna runaway
Runaway [being scratched over and over again]
(Ya'll not ready)

Hey yo
I dont think ya'll ready for what I'm about to do
Y'all new school dudes ain't even got no clue
How dare you forget about Bam and Zulu
Two urban jazz DJ's they paved the way
Let me spit it to y'all who said I wasn't gonna make it
Everytime I blaze it, ya'll the first to hate it
My team rains supreme and stays strong
Every 2 series son, they scared to put us on
Can't get with the high prince, get off your atis
Too many of y'all is dyin' for us so I gotta blaze it
I'm still reppin BK, Brooklyn D and on
Hell fire and family allienation
Banging hits in the backyard
Out on the episode
I'm a little kid named
Phoenix Orion

I wanna runaway
(I wanna runaway)
I wanna know the truth
(I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers
(I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door

Why does it feel like night today
Something in heres not right today
Why i am so uptight today
Parnoia'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 im 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 mustve planted the seed
Now it feels like my backs against the wall, i'm taking the fall
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 im 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 probly 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]

I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night, shining
with the light from the sun, the sun doesnt give light to the
moon, assuming the moons gonna owe it one, and makes think of
how you act to me, you do favors that rapidly, you just turn
around and start asking me about things you want back from me,
Im sick of the tension, sick of the hunger, sick of you acting
like I owe you this, find another place to feed your greed, while
I find a place to rest, Im sick of the tension, sick of the hunger,
sick of you acting like I oweyou this, find another place to

When I look into your eyes
There's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes
Staring back at me

[the below lyrics are said backwords*]
[the only way to hear the words is if the song is played backwords*]

Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left
to watch it all unwhind
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually
break down
Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left
to watch it all unwhind
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually
break down

I've lied
To you
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually
break down)
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left
to watch it all unwhind)
For sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually
break down)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

[backwards talk*]

I've tried
Like you
To do everything you wanted to
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually
break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left
to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

Reverse phsycology's failing miserably
It's so hard to be, left all alone
Telling you is the only chance for me
Theres nothing left but, to turn and face you
When I look into your eyes, there's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me
Asking why...
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie (why)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

Finally recover
When the mood is right
Looking up into a neon sky
Time the mean takes over
Guess it's been too long
Since the last time that I tried to fly

[Chorus:]
Finally I find
When I lose control
Inside my body crumbles
It's like therapy
For my broken soul
Inside my body crumbles

Only needs a moment
Just to get away
Hope the stress won't mess up every day
No one final question
And I never doubt
Everything is gonna be okay

[Chorus]

Insecure would be my sign
(I don't know if I'll be alright, I don't know if I'll be alright)
I'll never have to hide
(I don't know if I'll be alright, I don't know if I'll be alright)
Try to live right
(I don't know if I'll be alright, Now I know it's)
It's alright

Finally I find
When I lose control
Inside my body crumbles
It's like therapy
For my broken soul
Inside my body

Crawling in my skin

Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence, confidence, confidence...
Consuming, confusing
Crawling my skin
Without a sense of confidence and i'm convinced that theres just
too much pressure to take
Theres something inside me that pulls beneath the surface

I'm crawling in my skin
(Crawling in my skin)
These wounds they will not heal
(These wounds they will not heal)
Fear is how I fall
(Fear is how I fall)
Confusing, confusing what is real
Confusing what is real...

Theres something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling, I cant seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sence of confidence, and i'm confinced that theres
just too much pressure to take)
I've felt his way before, so insecure...

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort endlesly as pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
Its haunting how I cant seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sence of confidence, and i'm convinced that theres
just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure...

Without a sence of confidence, confidence...
Without a sence of confidence, confidence...

Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
