Linkin Park - Papercut

Title:"Papercut"

Album:"Hybrid Theory

Artist/Band:"Linkin Park"

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 
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 I close my 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 


[Chorus]


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


The sun goes down 
I feel the light betray me 
[Chorus]

Linkin Park - With You

Title:"With You"

Album:"Hybrid Theory

Artist/Band:"Linkin Park"

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
You
Now 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 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


Chorus (2x)


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


Chorus (3x)

Linkin Park - Points Of Authority

Title:"Points Of Authority"

Album:"Hybrid Theory

artist:Linkin park ft.Jay Gordon

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 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 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 


[Chorus]
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 (2x)

Chorus (2x)

Linkin Park "Crawling"

Title:"Crawling"

Album:"Hybrid Theory

Artist/Band:"Linkin Park"

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


Chorus


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


[Chorus]
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling ....................

Linkin Park "Runaway"

Title:"Runaway"

Album:"Hybrid Theory

Artist/Band:"Linkin Park"

Graffiti decorations
Under the sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learned 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


Chorus
I'm gonna run away, and never say goodbye
Gonna run away (2x)
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
Gonna run away (2x)
I'm gonna run away and open up my mind
Gonna run away (4x)


Chorus
I wanna run away and open up my mind!

Linkin Park "In the End"

Title:"In The End"

Album:"Hybrid Theory

Artist/Band:"Linkin Park"

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
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn't even know
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
And lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing  I don't know why
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
You 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

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...

Linkin Park - A Place For My Head

Title:"A Place For My Head"

Album:"Hybrid Theory

Artist/Band:"Linkin Park"

I watch how the
Moon sits in the sky / in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give life to the moon assuming
The moon's gonna owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me / you do
Favors and then rapidly / you just
Turn around and start asking me / about
Things that you want back from me
I'm 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

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
[You'll see it's not meant to be]
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you / and
Step on people like you do and
Run away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm / used to be strong
Used to be generous / but you should've known
That you'd
Wear out your welcome / now you see
How quiet it is / all alone / I'm so 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

You try to take the best of me
Go away..

Linkin Park - Forgotten

Title:"Forgotten"

Album:"Hybrid Theory

Artist/Band:"Linkin Park"

From the top to the bottom

Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care

There's a place so dark you can't see the end
[Skies cock back] and shock that which can't defend
The rain then sends dripping / an acidic question
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut / looking through the rust and rot
And dust / a spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and it's dark again

In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Moving all around / screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go 'round and the sunset creeps past the
Street lamps, chain-link and concrete
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats
On down the street till the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again

Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you

Linkin Park - Pushing Me Away

Title:"Lying From You"

Artist:"Linkin Park"

Album:"Hybrid Thoery"

I've lied / to you
The same way that I always do
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]
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
[Everything has to end / you'll soon find we're out of time left
To watch it all unwind]
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
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

Linkin Park "By Myself"

Title:"By Myself"
Band:"Linkin Park"
Album:"Hybrid Theory"

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 facade 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

Linkin Park "One Step Closer"

Title:"One Step Closer"
Album:"Hybrid Theory"
Band: "Linkin Park"


I cannot take this anymore 
I'm 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 
But 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 


Chorus 


Shut up when I'm talking to you 
Shut up, shut up, shut up (2x) 


I'm about to break! 


Chorus

A Place For My Head Lyrics

Title: A Place For My Head Lyrics
Album:Hybrid Theory
Songwriters: David Farrell;Mark Wakefield;Robert Bourdon;Chester Bennington;
Brad Delson;Michael Kenji Shinoda;Joseph Hahn



I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
And sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's gonna owe it one


It makes me think of how you act for me
You do favors then rapidly
You just turn around and start askin' me about
Things that you want back from me


I'm 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


I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head


Maybe some day I'll be just like you
And step on people like you do
And run away all the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were


You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous, you should have known
That you'd wear out your welcome and now you see
How quiet it is all alone


I'm so 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


I'm so 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


I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
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
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away


You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away


I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Shut up!


I am so sick of the tension
(Stay)
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
(A)
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest


I'm so sick of the tension
(Way)
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
(Stay away from me)
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
