Hybrid Theory – Crawling
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not
Fear is how I feel
Confusing what is real
There’s something inside me
That pulls benathe 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 considence
I’m convinced 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 feel
Confusing what is real
Discomfort
Endessly 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 considence
I’m convinced 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 feel
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I feel
Confusing what is real
Hybrid Theory - 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 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 good-bye
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 good-bye
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
Hybrid Theory - 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 facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself [Myself]
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 [Myself]
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
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
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
Hybrid Theory – In The End
It’s 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
Whatch it fly by
To the lied of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Don’t look out below
Watch the time go
Right out the window
Trying to hold on
But don’t ven 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 the time when…
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end it doesn’t even matter
I hard te 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 to try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To remind myself
How I tried so hard
In spike on the way
You were mocking me acting like
I was part of your property
Remebering all the times
You fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way before
You wouldn’t even recognise 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 felt apart
What it meant to me
Will eventually me
A memory of the time when…
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end it doesn’t even matter
I hard te fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn’t even matter
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’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 hard te fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn’t even matter
Hybrid Theory - A Place For My Head
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
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
You try to take the best of me
Go away
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
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
Hybrid Theory - Forgotten
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 its dark again
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
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
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
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
