LINKIN PARK - A PLACE FOR MY HEAD LYRICS 

\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



LINKIN PARK - BY MYSELF LYRICS 

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, I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on 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 ‘til 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, I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can’t rely on 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
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
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



Forgotten Lyrics
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's there
The memory won't escape me, but why should I care?

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's there
The memory won't escape me, but why should I care?

Theres 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, acidic questions, forcefully
The power of suggestion, then with the eyes shut

Looking through the rust and rot and dust
A small spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and it's 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's 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 behind 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
And 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's there
The memory won't escape me, but why should I care?

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's 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

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

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

Now you got me caught in the act, you bring the thought back
I'm telling you that, I see it right through you
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 will find me, eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly, until the sun rises up





Crawling Lyrics
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 it'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 fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
(Distracting)
Against my will

I stand beside my own reflection
(My own reflection)
It's haunting, how I can't seem
(Haunting)
To find myself again

My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that it'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 fall
Confusing, confusing what is real

(There's something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface, confusing)
Confusing what is real
(This lack of self control I fear, is never ending, controlling)
Controlling what is rea


In The End Lyrics
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 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 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 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'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 had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn't even matte


Papercut Lyrics
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

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

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

The face inside is right beneath the skin
The face inside is right beneath the skin
The face inside is right beneath the skin

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me

The sun
(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)
I feel the light betray me
(It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin)

The sun
(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)

I feel the light betray me
(It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within)
(It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within)
(It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin)



Points Of Authority Lyrics
Linkin Park

Forfeit the game before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame, 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 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

You like to think you're never wrong
You want to act like you're someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through
You live what you learn



Pushing Me Away Lyrics
Linkin Park

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
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 too
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 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
Why I never walked away?
Why I played myself this way?
Now I see, your testing me, pushes me away

(We're all out of time, this is how we learn how it all unwinds)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(We're all out of time, this is how we learn how it all unwinds)
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
Why I never walked away?
Why I played myself this way?
Now I see, your testing me, pushes me away, pushes me away



Runaway Lyrics
Linkin Park

Graffiti decorations under 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

I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
(Gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
(Gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away)

I'm gonna run away and open my mind
(Gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away)
(Gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away, gonna run away)

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

I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind
I wanna run away and open up my mind



With You Lyrics
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
(With you)
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
So 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

No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we've come
I, I cant 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
