Break
I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I said before
All these words they make no sense
I've found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
You'll find that out anyway
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I've found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Over and over again

Man, the other day
I was trying to figure out how many letters was in the alphabet
It took me all day, but you know I did it
You wanna know how many letters there are?
26 letters in the alphabet
26 letters in the alphabet
I wear a shower cap so I don't get wet
I put on my shoes so my feet don't hurt
And go to the floor with Ernie and Bert
When I'm on the floor, I'm singin'
Supercalifragilistic...
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 thi...
Where should I start? Disjointed heart
I've got no commitment to my own flesh and blood
Left all alone far from my home
No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart
I keep it locked up inside
Cannot express to the point I've regressed
If anger's a gift then I guess I've been blessed
I keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies
It's too late to love me now
You helped me to show me
It's...
I don't know why I am here
Listening to you anymore
I can't explain how I feel anymore
Do you even love me anymore
There is something
Crawling in the back of my head
Saying why do I take this anymore
There is something wrong
And I can't take it any more
There is something wrong
And I can't take it any more
Can you tell me why I am here hearing
Things in the back of my head?
Listening to things...
Ok what is it tonight
Please just tell me what the hell is wrong
Do you wanna eat
Do you wanna sleep
Do you wanna shout
Just settle down, settle down, settle down
Well I'll give you candy
Give you diamonds
Give you pills
I?'ll give you anything you want
Hundred dollar bills
And I'll even let you watch the shows you wanna see
Just marry me, marry me, marry me

Atom bombs
something's wrong
D.E.A sent to Guam
Acid trips
big fat chicks
Purple Flintstone vitamins
All the needy, rich are greedy
I find out
you don't need me
Berlin Wall starts to fall
I trip out to the wall
Hooray Hoorah
You think I'm stupid
Stay out of my way
You think I'm stupid
Yeah yeah yeah
Ku Klux Klan makes a plan
To destroy the black man
Air pollution, no soloution
What is causing ...
Lies
I didn't think that I had a debt to pay
'Til they came to take what I had left away
You said you wouldn't put me to the test today
But I remember you saying that yesterday
There was a time when your mind wasn't out of control
Every memory and confession pouring out of your soul
Like a pill you couldn't swallow and it swallowed you whole
Another lie hard to follow till it followed you home...
Yeah
Chorus
I guess,
That this is where we've come to,
If you don't want to,
Then you don't have to,
Believe me,
But I, won't be there when you go down,
Just so you know now,
You're on your own now, believe me.
Yeah
I don't wanna be the one to blame,
You like fun and games,
Keep playin' them,
I'm just sayin',
Think back then,
We was like one and the same,
On the right track,
But I was on the w...
Wasting your talent, Randy
Yeah, ready?
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
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
Bu...
Yeah here we go for the hundred time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my f***ing 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
Run myself out and no one cares
Dug a trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up out of reach som...
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 i...

Bubbles, bubbles
I wish my name was bubbles, bubbles
I wish my friends were bubbles, bubbles
I ride my car on bubbles, bubbles
I go real far on bubbles
On bubbles
Bubbles, bubbles
I blow a lot of bubbles, bubbles
I show a lot of bubbles, bubbles
I ride a plane on bubbles, bubbles
I go insane on bubbles
On bubbles
'Cause it's a B and a U
And a B and a B and an L

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 move...

She can?t hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguise behind her lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight, staring at her inside
All her friends know why she can?t sleep at night
All her family asking if she?s all right
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
But all she?s gotta do is stop kidding herself
She can only fool herself for so long 3x

Yo, Mike
This is Chali 2na, wsup, man?
Im just trying to catch up with you, man,
so we can go ahead and get this song on the roll, with a pot-n-a-d
Haha, call me back, peace
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...

Folks, we have a very special guest for you tonight
I'd like to introduce Mr. Hahn
Let's hear it for the great, Mr. Hahn
And now a lesson in rhythm management
Let's begin
Alright now, wasn't that fun?
Let's try something else
Baby, I said baby
I'm gonna leave you baby
I'm gonna leave you baby
I'm gonna tie you up to the railroad tracks
I said baby, I said baby
I'm gonna leave you
I'm gonna leave you baby
I'm gonna tie you up to the railroad tracks
Gonna tie you up to the railroad tracks
I'm gonna tie you up
Leave you down there by the railroad tracks
When the train comes by, it's gonna take you away
Ooh yeah
[Verse 1]
Come with me
Let me walk in through the world that I currently stay in
You can take a look around and tell me if I?m mistaken
You can even talk to everybody that I live with
Maybe you could tell me why everybody?s so distant
Is it me or maybe, when I look around daily
I don?t even know the people I can put my trust in lately
People that I used to hang with now their actin? to differe...
I have a dream of a scene between the green hills
Clouds pull away and the sunlight's revealed
People don't talk about keeping it real
It's understood that they actually will
And intoxicated and stimulated emcees
Staring in the trees, paranoid are gone in the breeze
Watch them flee, hip-hop hits
Take a walk with me and what you'll see
Is a land where the sand is made up of crushed up wax

I ordered a frapuccino
Where is my f***in' frapuccino?
All right let's do this
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can't forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can
But I can't pretend this is the way it'll stay I'm just
Trying to bend the truth
I can't pretend I'm who...
Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I?m in disbelief, I didn?t know
Somehow I need you to go
Don?t stay, forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don?t stay, forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and do...
Punture me
Make me feel
Like I am real
Torture me
Drag me under you
Time
Lifts me up and down
Time
Makes me

Life is much too short to be
Intoxicated
Life is much too short to be

Please treat me
Like I am a fallen angel

It?s easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It?s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I?ve kept locked away, no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show, they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years, they?ve played
If I could change I would take back the pain I woul...
Hey yo, when this first started off, it was just Linkin Park
And then in the middle came motion man
And at the end of it all
It was Kutmasta Kurt with a remix
One thing, I don't why
It doesn?t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
When I was obsessed with time
All I know, time was just slipping away
And I watched it count to the end of the day
Watched it watch m...
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 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
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

I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you to just believe this is real
So, I let go watchin' you, turn your back
Like you always do, face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'ca...
With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everybody can see these scars
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do, I can't ...
Nothing ever stops all these thoughts
And the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happening
It's like nothing I can do will distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'Cause from the infinite words I could say
Put all the pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize, instead of setting it free
I took what I hated and made it part of me
It never goes a...
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?

At the core I?ve forgotten, in the middle of my thoughts

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
We're stuck in a place so dark, you can hardly see
The manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight of the powers that be
And duck away ...
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core of forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture's there
The memory won't escape me
[Verse: 1]
We're stuck in a place so dark, you can hardly see
A manner of matter that splits, with the words I breathe

I don't know who to trust, no surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
Trying not to break
But I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself
Get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me
Take everything from the inside
And throw i...

Of course you know what a fuse is...
It's a long piece of cord impregnated with gun powder
When you strike a match and light it
It burns, fitfully, spiraling to it's end
At which there is, a little surprise
Krypton, short suit MCs you'll be ripped on
You fell off and it's my lyric sheet you just slipped on
Get gone, spit on mic's made in Hong Kong
Rock on, sing songs mightier than Kin...
Waking 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 feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the heck is
Wrong with me?
I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I ...
Will you, walk me to the edge again?
Shaking, lonely, and I am drinking again
Woke up tonight and no one's here with me
I'm giving in to you
Take me under
I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you
Watch me crumble
I'm giving in to you
I'm crying tonight
I'm giving in to you
Caught up, in life
Losing all my friends
Family has tried, to heal all my addictions

You tried to find the reason why it all ran away,
And you think of want you could have done different.
When you thought you were complete,
You opened up your eye
When you thought you had it all

If you want to hold on to everything
You will fall.
You are around chasing things that disappear.
You can get enough 'cause you want it all

There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I?ve held on what I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you said about me when I?m not around
You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down
But...

Feeding our open mouths and spooning the thickness out
The pr...
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 what is real
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
Witho...
I'd like to introduce
In your, in your, in your, in your sound institute
Of invention of reliable audio weapon system
Let's, let's try, let's try, let's try something else
Folks, we have a very special guest for you tonight
Tonight, tonight break it down
Using the waves of sound a true master paralyzes
His opponent, leaving him vulnerable to an attack, Mr Hahn
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
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all...
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
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all...
And the tears fall like rain
Down on my face again
Oh the words you wouldn't say
And the games you played
With my unfoolish heart
Oh I should have known this from the start
Oh the winter and spring
Going hand in hand
Just like my love and pain
How the thought of you cuts deep within the vain
Oh this brand new skin stretched across scared terrain
I don't wanna be let down
I don't wanna live my ...
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can?t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can but
I can?t pretend this is the way it?ll stay I?m just
Lying to bend the truth
I can?t pretend I?m who you want me to be, so I?m
Lying my way from you
No no, turning back now
I wanna be ...
i'm tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
i don't know what you're expecting of me
put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
every step that i take is another mistake to you
i've
become so numb
i can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
i'm becoming this
all i want to do

I've lived through things I cannot say
Back then we dreamt of yesterday
It seemed as if the only way
And now we look for hope and pray
Chorus
If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing in the end
If I had a second chance
I'd make amends
Only to find myself
Losing, losing
It came up from the deepest sea
God gave it life and reason to be
His Shadow rose above the highest...
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
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

This song's called 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

Live a life that's sheltered
I'm constantly alone
I'm pointing out my weakness
There's an emptiness at home
I need to find a reason to live this way
I'm running out of patience and my life is over
I'm standing here but I'm on my way
Searching to find an answer
I'm standing here but it's all the same
And I'm running out of patience
Well I will take my reason for you
And I have gained a reason f...
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
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
I take back all the th...
I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve
So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough...
God damn it, I'm not gonna do no laundry
Said God damn it, I'm not gonna do no laundry
Everybody knows
I don't do no God damn clothes
The laundry, the laundry
The laundry, the laundry
Oh, I ain't gonna do no laundry...B****
Are you lost in your lies?
Do you tell yourself I don't realize
Your crusade's a disguise?
Replaced freedom with fear
You trade money for lives
I'm aware of what you've done
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
I see pain, I see need
I see liars and fiends
Abuse power with greed
I had hope, I believed
But I'm beginning to think ...
Standing alone with no direction
How did I fall so far behind?
Why am I searching for perfection
Knowing it?s something I won?t find?
In my fear and flaws
I let myself down again
All because I run
'Til the silence splits me open, I run
'Til it puts me underground
'Til I have no breath
And no roads left but one
When did I lose my sense of purpose?
Can I regain what?s lost inside?
Why do I feel ...
Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
Rap stack got you back in the sub black rewind that
We just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylist division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiving
But in the meantime there are those

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow

Thank you, thank you, thank you, you're far too kind
Now, can I get an encore, do you want more?
Cookin' raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
Now what the hell are you waiting for?
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, nigga, make some noise
Get 'em, Jay
Who you know fresher than Hov'? Riddle me that
The rest of y'all know where I'm lyrically at

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
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
I'm about to break
I find the answer...
I cannot take this anymore

All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say

Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe

Opening is an instrumental song.
When I look into your eyes
There's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes
Staring back at me
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 out of time left
To watch it all unwind
The sake of being with you
Everything falls a...
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

Part of me won't go away
Everyday reminded how much I hate it
Weighted against the consequences
Can't live without it, so it's senseless
Wanna cut it out of my soul
And just live with a gaping hole
Take control of my life and wash out all the burnt taste
I made the problems in the first place
Hang my head low 'cause it's part of me
You hardly see it right next to the heart of me
Heard of me, t...
A-one, a-two, a-one, two, three, four
Uh, this song's about jellyfish
And their bellyfish
Ain't no foolyfish
I don't droolyfish
Goes like this:
Jelly, jelly, jellyfish
When you squeeze me, I go squish
Peanut butter jellyfish
Put me onto your sandwich
Said jelly, jelly, jellyfish
When you squeeze me, I go squish
'Cause I'm a jellyfish
I'm a jellyfish
My friends are fish and they go to school

So do it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Repeat x2
Now why is everybody so petrified?
What
Petrified?

Step aside
And just drop that
Come on
Drop that

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don?t understand
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
But the sun doesn?t give light to the moon
Assuming the moon?s going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors, then rapidly
You just turn aroun...
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

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?...
Lies
I didn't think that I had a debt to pay
'Til they came to take what I had left away
You said you wouldn't put me to the test today
But I remember you saying that yesterday
There was a time when your mind wasn't out of control
Every memory and confession pouring out of your soul
Like a pill you couldn't swallow and it swallowed you whole
Another lie hard to follow till it followed you home...

When this began, I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused
And I'd let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind

With a song in my soul
A fortunate weakling
Which I have foretold
He raises his arms tied
Above the abyss
Singing his sweet song
His melody opens up the sun

Rivers of blood
Pushed back in my veins
She sleeps with her eyes closed
To dream of the past
Her mind has gone blind now
While the memory closes up this sun
Freedom rain

Made of magic

Go away can't you see you're not real
Open your eye some place far away

I sang a song about ...
Your fingers were crossed behind your back before you ever gave me a chance
But now I have learned, to trust myself and I don?t need anyone else
No one's here to light the candle
No one's here to light the way
It's something I will have to handle
Someday
I?ve got to open up my eyes
Find a way to kill the boredom
Watch the time go by, now its time for me to get mine.

Mixed media slang, banging in your boom box
Verbal violence, lyrical stylist
In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish

You fell away
What more can I say?
The feeling's evolved
I won't let it out
I can't replace
Your screaming face
Feeling the sickness inside
Why won't you die?
Your blood in mine
We'll be fine
Then your body will be mine
So many words
Can't describe my face
This feeling's evolved
So soon to break out
I can't relate
To a happy state
Feeling the blood run inside
Why won't you...
People turn around, people let you down
Anywhere you go, anywhen you see
It's real
It's up to you to make it happen
It's up to you to make it real

To need some
And you know how it feels

Water gray
Through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling rain
Like an ocean everywhere
Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water, I do
Hope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away

My insides all turn to ash
So slow
And blow away as I collapsed
So cold
A black wind took them away
From sight
And now the darkness over day
That night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection
But not now
'Cause my path has lost direction
Somehow
A black wind took you away
From sight

In this farewell
There?s no blood
There?s 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

In this farewell
There?s no blood
There?s no alibi

From the truth
Of a thousand lies

To cross out what I?ve become
Erase myself

Put to rest

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...

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 thi...
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 move...
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...
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?

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

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 t...
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 hav...
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?...
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 ...

Hybrid Theory EP |
Where should I start? Disjointed heart
I've got no commitment to my own flesh and blood
Left all alone far from my home
No one to hear me, to heal my ill heart
I keep it locked up inside
Cannot express to the point I've regressed
If anger's a gift then I guess I've been blessed
I keep it locked up inside
Keep my distance from your lies
It's too late to love me now
You helped me to show me
It's...
She can?t hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguise behind her lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight, staring at her inside
All her friends know why she can?t sleep at night
All her family asking if she?s all right
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
But all she?s gotta do is stop kidding herself
She can only fool herself for so long 3x
She can onl...

Part of me won't go away
Everyday reminded how much I hate it
Weighted against the consequences
Can't live without it, so it's senseless
Wanna cut it out of my soul
And just live with a gaping hole
Take control of my life and wash out all the burnt taste
I made the problems in the first place
Hang my head low 'cause it's part of me
You hardly see it right next to the heart of me
Heard of me, t...
Watch as the room rocks men only moon walk
Mixed media slang, banging in your boom box
Verbal violence, lyrical stylist
In a time when rock hip hop rhymes are childish
You can't tempt me with rhymes that are empty
Rapping to a beat doesn't make you an Emcee
With your lack of skill and facility you're killing me
And a DJ in the group just for credibility

I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact
That everyone can see these scars
I am what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
But it's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you to just believe this is real
So, I let go watchin' you, turn your back

I don't know who to trust, no surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
Trying not to break
But I'm so tired of this deceit

When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can?t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can but
I can?t pretend this is the way it?ll stay I?m just
Lying to bend the truth
I can?t pretend I?m who you want me to be, so I?m
Lying my way from you
No no, turning back now

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow
I've become so numb I can't feel you there

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
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
I'm about to break
I find the answer...
When I look into your eyes
There's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes
Staring back at me

This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake

I had nothing to say

Is the only real thing that I?ve got left to feel
Nothing to lose

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 i...
Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I?m in disbelief, I didn?t know
Somehow I need you to go
Don?t stay, forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don?t stay, forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and do...
It?s easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It?s so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I?ve kept locked away, no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show, they never go away
Like moving pictures in my head for years and years, they?ve played
If I could change I would take back the pain I woul...
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints but I can't help the fact

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts
And the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happening
It's like nothing I can do will distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'Cause from the infinite words I could say
Put all the pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize, instead of setting it free
I took what I hated and made it part of me
It never goes a...
I don't know who to trust, no surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me

Trying not to break
But I'm so tired of this deceit

There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I?ve held on what I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you said about me when I?m not around
You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down
But...
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can?t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can but

Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
Rap stack got you back in the sub black rewind that
We just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylist division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiving
But in the meantime there are those

Minutes To Midnight |
Yeah here we go for the hundred time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my f***ing 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
Run myself out and no one cares
Dug a trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up out of reach som...
Waking 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 feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the heck is
Wrong with me?
I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I ...
Turn my mic up louder, I got to say somethin'
Lightweight step it aside when we comin'
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumpin?
People on the street, they panic and start runnin?
Words on loose leaf sheet complete comin?
I jump on my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumpin?
Healin' the blind, I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways, we march to the drummin?
Jump when they tell us...
Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to be genuine was harder than it seemed
And somehow I got caught up in between
Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to be someone else was harder than it seemed
And somehow I got caught up in between
Between my pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the tru...
Telling me to go
But hands beg me to stay
Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
What you build you lay to waste
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take
So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
And you, you will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets, don't li...
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
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all...
Are you lost in your lies?
Do you tell yourself I don't realize
Your crusade's a disguise?
Replaced freedom with fear
You trade money for lives
I'm aware of what you've done
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
I see pain, I see need
I see liars and fiends
Abuse power with greed
I had hope, I believed
But I'm beginning to think ...
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
Pink cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
S...
Water gray
Through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling rain
Like an ocean everywhere
Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water, I do
Hope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away
As a nation simply stares
...
My insides all turn to ash
So slow
And blow away as I collapsed
So cold
A black wind took them away
From sight
And now the darkness over day
That night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection
But not now
'Cause my path has lost direction
Somehow
A black wind took you away
From sight
And now the darknes...
In this farewell
There?s no blood
There?s 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 mys...

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I said before
All these words they make no sense
I've found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
You'll find that out anyway
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear

Yo, Mike
This is Chali 2na, wsup, man?
Im just trying to catch up with you, man,
so we can go ahead and get this song on the roll, with a pot-n-a-d
Haha, call me back, peace
Hey yo, when this first started off, it was just Linkin Park
And then in the middle came motion man
And at the end of it all
It was Kutmasta Kurt with a remix
One thing, I don't why
It doesn?t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
When I was obsessed with time
All I know, time was just slipping away
And I watched it count to the end of the day
Watched it watch m...
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
We're stuck in a place so dark, you can hardly see
The manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight of the powers that be
And duck away ...

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 what is real
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

In your, in your, in your, in your sound institute
Of invention of reliable audio weapon system
Let's, let's try, let's try, let's try something else

Tonight, tonight break it down
Using the waves of sound a true master paralyzes
His opponent, leaving him vulnerable to an attack, Mr Hahn

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 out of time left

Everything falls a...
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don?t understand
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
But the sun doesn?t give light to the moon
Assuming the moon?s going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors, then rapidly
You just turn aroun...
Why does it feel like night today
Something in here's not right today
Why I am 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
Like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
Face that watches every time I lie
Face that laughs every time I ...
Yo, yo, 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 like to think you?re never wrong
You like to think you?re neve...

Hey, Mike, whats up?
This is Roc, just asking you whats happening?
I was just touching base, seeing how your Easter went
Um, just seeing if youre going to see Joe sometime soon, too,
because hes got my keyboard that Ive been trying to get back
Ive been trying to call him and he hasnt been returning any messages
so Im seeing what the best angle is to, you know, get it back
heyy dud...
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
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 ...

Yo, what's up? It's Stef, call me up
I'm going to be in town all this week
So, if you want to get that track taken care of, let me know
Call me on my cell, all right? Late
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
T...
Shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up
Shut up, shut up
I'm about to
Wasn't that fun? Let's try something else
45 caliber killer without of the filla
Elevated Show, your brotha's how you're not a gorilla
Smooth talking, fully automatic weapon constiller
Taste thrilla, great filler, hit him with the bounce stiller
Filthy stinking, standing on the side grounded
Still be sinking subme...

Yeah here we go for the hundred time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my f***ing 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
Run myself out and no one cares
Dug a trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up out of reach som...
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 i...
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...
I don't know who to trust, no surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
Trying not to break
But I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself
Get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you
Just takes so much out of me
Take everything from the inside
And throw i...
Waking 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 feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
Tell me what the heck is
Wrong with me?
I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I ...
Turn my mic up louder, I got to say somethin'
Lightweight step it aside when we comin'
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumpin?
People on the street, they panic and start runnin?
Words on loose leaf sheet complete comin?
I jump on my mind, I summon the rhyme I'm dumpin?
Healin' the blind, I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways, we march to the drummin?
Jump when they tell us...
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 ev...
Uh, uh, jigga what?
Uh, uh, jigga who?
Uh, uh, jigga what?
Uh, uh, jigga who?
Uh, uh, jigga what?
You gon' need a vocal in, right?
Motherf***ers wanna act loco, hit 'em up, numerous
Shots with the fo'-fo'
Faggots wanna talk to po-po's, smoke 'em like cocoa
F*** rap, coke by the boatload, f*** dat
On the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
Left holes through some guy clothes
Stop your bullshit, gl...
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
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all...
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be
I look exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend, I can?t forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second just 'cause I know I can but
I can?t pretend this is the way it?ll stay I?m just
Lying to bend the truth
I can?t pretend I?m who you want me to be, so I?m
Lying my way from you
No no, turning back now
I wanna be ...
Are you lost in your lies?
Do you tell yourself I don't realize
Your crusade's a disguise?
Replaced freedom with fear
You trade money for lives
I'm aware of what you've done
No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be replaced
I see pain, I see need
I see liars and fiends
Abuse power with greed
I had hope, I believed
But I'm beginning to think ...
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much mo...
Thank you, thank you, thank you, you're far too kind
Now, can I get an encore, do you want more?
Cookin' raw with the Brooklyn boy
So for one last time I need y'all to roar
Now what the hell are you waiting for?
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, nigga, make some noise
Get 'em, Jay
Who you know fresher than Hov'? Riddle me that
The rest of y'all know where I'm lyrically at
...
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
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
I'm about to break
I find the answer...
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?...
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
Pink cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
S...
Water gray
Through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling rain
Like an ocean everywhere
Don't want to reach for me, do you?
I mean nothing to you
The little things give you away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water, I do
Hope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away
As a nation simply stares
...
In this farewell
There?s no blood
There?s 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 mys...
