Don't stay
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 take myself back and...)
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
(Just take myself back and...)
Don't stay
Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I just feel like strangling you myself
Sometimes I'm in disbelief, I didn't know
Somehow I need to be alone
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
(Just take myself back and...)
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
(Just take myself back and...)
Don't stay
I dont need you anymore, dont want
to be ignored
I dont need one more day, of you wasting me away
I dont need you anymore, I dont want to be ignored
I dont need one more day, of you wasting me away
With no apologies
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
(Just take myself back and...)
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
(Just take myself back and...)
Don't stay
Don't stay
Don't stay

Somewhere I belong
[Verse 1 - Mike]
(When this began.)
I had nothing to say.
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me.
(I was confused.)
And I live it all out to find, but I'm not the only person with
these things in mind.
(Inside of me.)
But all that they can see the words revealed.
Is the only real thing that i got left to feel.
(Nothing to lose.)
Just stuck, hollow and alone.
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own.
[Chorus - Chester]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel, What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
Erase all the pain til' it's gone
I wanna heal, I wanna feel, like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong
[Verse 2 - Mike]
And I've got nothing to say. I can't believe I didn't fall right
down on my face.
(I was confused.)
Look at everywhere only to find.
It is not the way I had imagined it all in my mind.
(So what am I.)
What do I have but negativity.
Cuz I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me.
(Nothing to lose.)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone.
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own.
[Repeat chorus]
[Verse 3 - Chester]
I will never know myself until I do this on my own.
Cuz I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed.
I will never be anything til' I break away from me.
I will break away. I'll find myself today.
I wanna heal, I wanna feel, Like I'm somewhere
I belong (x2)
Somewhere I belong...
[Repeat chorus]

Lying from you
When I pretend that everything is what I want
it to be
I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see
When I pretend to 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 feel myself)
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be
Chorus:
So I'm lying away from you
(No, no turning back now)
I want to be closed inside so let me go
(No, no turning back now)
Let me take back my life
I'd rather fight all alone
(No turning back now)
Anywhere on my own cause I can't see
(No, no turning back now)
The very worst part of me is me
End Chorus:
I remember what they taught to me
Remember condesending talk of who I outta be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me and I'm
(Trying to fill the truth)
Before I push some more I'm pullin away because
(I'm lying away from you)
Chorus
This is the part I've wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me, like this
This isn't what I wanted to be
I never thought that what I said
Would have you running from me 2x
Chorus

Hit the floor
There are just too many times that people have
tried to look inside of me,
Wondering what I think of you well I protect you out of courtesy.
Too many times that I've held on when 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've said about me when I'm not around,
You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me
down.
But I've had too many standoffs with you it's about as much as I
could stand,
So I wait till the upper hand is mine.
One minute you're up top,
Missed you now, I'll watch you drop.
Making a rough start,
Just before you hit the floor.
One minute you're up top,
Missed you now, missed your shot.
Making a rough start,
You think you won.
And then it's all gone.
So many people like me that put so much trust
in all your lies
So concerned with what you think to just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long,
All I know is that all I want is to feel like I'm not stepped on.
There are so many things you say that make me feel you cross the
line
What goes up will surely fall, and I am counting down the time
Cause I've had so many standoffs with you it's about as much as I
could stand,
So I waiting until the upper hand is mine.
One minute you're up top,
Missed you now, I'll watch you drop.
Making a rough start,
Just before you hit the floor.
One minute you're up top,
Missed you now, missed your shot.
Making a rough start,
You think you won.
And then it's all gone.
And then it's all gone.
And then it's all gone.
And then it's all gone.
Now it's all Gone.
I know I'll never trust a single thing you say,
You realize you divide us but you lied anyway.
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all,
But what goes up has got to fall...
One minute you're up top,
Missed you now, I'll watch you drop.
Making a rough start,
Just before you hit the floor.
One minute you're up top,
Missed you now, missed your shot.
Making a rough start,
You think you won.
And then it's all gone.
And then it's all gone.
And then it's all gone.
And then it's all gone.
Now it's all Gone.

Easier to run
Chorus:
Its easier to run
replacing this pain with something numb
its so much easier to go
than face all this pain here all alone
something has been taken
from deep inside of me
a 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
Bridge: 2x
if i could change i would
take back the pain i would
retrace every wrong move that i made i would
if i could
stand up and take the blame i would
if i could take all the shame to the grave i would
[Chorus]
sometimes i remember
the darkness of my past
bringing back these memories
i wish i didn't have
sometimes i think of letting go
and never looking back
and never moving forward so
there never be a past
[Bridge]
just washing it aside
all of the helplessness inside
pretending i don't feel so misplaced
is so much simpler than change
[Chorus]
Its easier to run
if i could change i would
take back the pain i would
retrace every wrong move that i made
its so much easier to go
if i could change i would
take back the pain i would
retrace every wrong move that i made i would
if i could
stand up and take the blame i would
if i could take all the shame to the grave.

Faint
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
But what I want you to want, what I want you to feel
What it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
That's all I give cause you're all that I've got
Chorus:
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal this damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
End Chorus:
I am, a little bit insecure, a little un-confident
But you don't understand I do what I can
Sometimes I don't make sense
I am, what you never wanna say, but I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just
to hear me out
So I, let go watching you turn your back like you always do
You face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause you're all that I've got
Chorus
You hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now, hear me out now
You're gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now

Figure.09
Nothing ever stops all these thoughts
and the pain attached to them
sometimes i wonder why this is happening
its 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 / i
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 a part of me
[it never goes away] (Echo)
Chorus:
and now
you've become a part of me
you'll always be right here
you've become a part of me
you'll always be my fear
i can't separate myself from what i've done
i've given up a part of me
i've let myself become you
hearing your name / the memories come back again
i remember when it started happening
i'd see you in every thought i had and then
the thoughts slowly found words attached to them
and i knew as they escaped away i was
committing myself to them / and every day i
regret saying those things / cause now i see / that i
took what i hated and made it a part of me
[it never goes away] (Echo)
[Chorus]
4x it never goes away
2x
get away from me
gimme my space back / you gotta just (go)
everything comes down to memories of (you)
i've kept it in but now i'm letting you (know)
[Chorus]
i've let myself become you
i've let myself become lost inside these
thoughts of you
giving up a part of me
i've let myself become you

Breaking the habit
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 it's not alright
so i'm breaking the habit
I´m breaking the habit
tonight
clutching my cure
i tightly lock the door
i try to catch my breath again
i hurt much more
than anytime before
i had no options left 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'll never be alright
so i'm
breaking the habit
I´m breaking the habit
tonight
i'll paint it on the walls
cause i'm the one at fault
i'll never fight again
and this is how it ends
i don't know what's worth fighting for
or why i have to scream
but now i have some clarity
to show you what i mean
i don't know how i got this way
i'll never be alright
so i'm
breaking the habit
i´m breaking the habit
i´m breaking the habit
tonight

From the inside
I don't know who to trust
no surprise
everyone feels so far away from me
heavy thoughts sift through dust
and the lies
Bridge:
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
Chorus:
i take everything from the inside
and throw it all away
cause i swear / for the last time
i won't trust myself with you
tension is building inside
steadily
everyone feels so far away from me
heavy thoughts forcing their way
out of me
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
i won't waste myself on you
you
you
waste myself on you
you
you
[Chorus]
everything from the inside
and just throw it all away
cause i swear / for the last time
i won't trust myself with you
you
you

Nobody's listening
peep the style and the kids checking for it
the number one question is how could you ignore it
we drop right back in the cut
over basement tracks
with raps that got you backing this up like
[rewind that]
we're just rolling with the rhythm
rise from the ashes of stylistic division
with these non-stop lyrics of life living
not to be forgotten
but still unforgiven
but in the meantime there are those who wanna
talk this and that / so i suppose
that it gets to a that point feelings gotta get hurt
and get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
Chorus:
[it goes]
try to give you warning
but everyone ignores me
[told you everything loud and clear]
but nobody's listening
call to you so clearly
but you don't want to hear me
[told you everything loud and clear]
but nobody's listening
I got a
heart full of pain / head full of stress
handful of anger / held in my chest
and everything left is a waste of time
i hate my rhymes
[but hate everyone else's more]
i'm riding on the back of this pressure
guessing that it's better
that i can't keep myself together
because all of this stress
gave me something to write on
the pain gave me something i could set my sights on
you never forget the blood sweat and tears
the uphill struggle over years
the fear and trash talking
and the people it was to
and the people that started it
just like you
[Chorus]
i got a
(2x) heart full of pain / head full of stress
handful of anger / held in my chest
uphill struggle / blood sweat and tears
nothing to gain / everything to fear
heart full of pain (Hall Effect)
[Chorus]
i got a
heart full of pain / head full of stress
nobody's listening
handful of anger / held in my chest
nobody's listening
uphill struggle / blood sweat and tears
nobody's listening
nothing to gain / everything to fear

Numb
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]
Chorus:
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
is be more like me
and be less like you
can't you see that you're smothering me
holding too tightly
afraid to lose control
cause everything that you thought i would be
has fallen apart right in front of you
[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]
and every second i waste is more than i can take
[Chorus]
And i know
i may end up failing too
but i know
you were just like me
with someone disappointed in you
[Chorus]
i've
become so numb
i can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
i've become so numb
i can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
