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 don?t need you anymore, don?t want to be ignored
I don?t need one more day, of you wasting me away
I don?t need you anymore, I don?t want to be ignored
I don?t 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

(When this b egan)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That 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?ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

Refrain:
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 till 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

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
Cause 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

Refrain

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today

Refrain

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

LYING FROM YOU

When I pretend, everything is what I want it be,
I looked 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 that this is they way it will stay, I'm just
(Lying to defend the truth)
I can't pretend of who you want me to be so
(I'm lying my way from)

You
(Nah, no turning back now)
I wanna be close beside so let me go
(Nah, no turning back now)
Let me take me back my life
I'd rather be all alone
(No turning back now)
And anywhere on my own, cause I can see
(Nah, no turning back now)
'Cause everyone's lying from you
WITH ME

I remember what they taught to me,
Remember condescending took for what I ought to be
Remember fussing and all of that and this again
so I could turned it up to the person who was feeling it
And now you think this person really is me and I
(Trying to defend the truth )
yo, the more I push I'm pulling away cause I?m
(Lying my way from)

You
(Nah, no turning back now)
I wanna be close beside so let me go
(Nah, no turning back now)
Let me take me back my life
I'd rather be all alone
(No turning back now)
And anywhere on my own, cause I can see
(Nah, no turning back now)
'Cause everyone's lying from you
WITH ME

This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought what I said would have you
running from me
LIKE THIS!
This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought what I said would have you
running from me
LIKE THIS!
This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought what I said would have you
running from me
LIKE THIS!
This isn't what I wanted to be, I never thought what I said would have you
running from me
LIKE THIS!

You
(Nah, no turning back now)
I wanna be close beside so let me go
(Nah, no turning back now)
Let me take me back my life
I'd rather be all alone
(No turning back now)
And anywhere on my own, cause I can see
(Nah, no turning back now)
'Cause everyone's lying from you
WITH ME

HIT THE FLOOR

There are just too many times when people try to put their trust in me
Wondering when I think of you well I protect you out of courtesy
Too many ti mes that I held on but when I didn't you push away
Afraid to say what is wrong and right, Afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you say about me when I'm not around
You think you have the upper hand and you got to put me down
Well I got so many sad thoughts of you it's about as much as I can stand
So I wait till the upper hand is mine

One minute you're up top
(You better not want to draw)
Making a rough start
(Just before you hit the floor)
One minute you're up top
(You better not miss a 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 the lies
So concerned with better things and just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All of those and all they want is to feel like I've been stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel you cross the line
Wat ch this I will show you all I am counting down the time
Well I got so many sad thoughts of you it's about as much as I can stand
So I wait till the upper hand is mine

One minute you're up top
(You better not want to draw)
Making a rough start
(Just before you hit the floor)
One minute you're up top
(You better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start
(You think you won)
And then it's all gone

I know I can't trust or see the way you say
And now I realise you're byast but you're right anyway
And now your eyes have got you thinking up for what you saw
I know now something's got to fall

One minute you're up top
(You better not want to draw)
Making a rough start
(Just before you hit the floor)
One minute you're up top
(You better not miss a shot)
Making a rough start
(You think you won)
And then it's all gone

EASIER TO RUN

It's easier to run
Replacing thi s pain with something long
It's so much easier to go
Then face all this pain here all alone

Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I?ve kept locked away no can ever see
wounds so deep they never show, They never go away
Like moving pictures in my head
For years and years they play

[Mike's part]
If I could change I would
Take all 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
If I could change I would
Take all the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

It's easier to run replacing this pain with something long
It's so much easier to go
Then face all this pain here all alone

Some things I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think I'm letting go and never looking back
I'm never moving forward so, there'd never be a past

[Mike's part]
If I could change I would
Take all 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
If I could change I would
Take all the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave.

Just watch it in the sun
All of the helplessness as I've
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's so much simpler to change

It's easier to run replacing this pain with something long
It's so much easier to run
Replace all this pain here all alone

It's easier to run

If I could change I would
Take all the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made

It's easier to run

If I could change I would
Take all the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all the shame with me

FAINT

I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints, but I can help the fact, that everybody can see these scars
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, watching you, turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you want what I've got

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

I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
'Cause you don't understand, I do what I can, but sometimes I don't make sense
I say 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
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here 'cause you want what I've got

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

Now
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

I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored

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

I can't feel
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
Don't tur n your back on me
I won't be ignored

FIGURE.09

Nothin' ever stops all these thoughts n' the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin?
It's like nothin? I can do would distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'Cuz from the infinite words I can say I
Put all pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize instead of settin' it free I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me

It never goes away [x2]

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
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you

Hearin' your name the memories come back again
I remember when it started happenin'
I see you n' every thought I had and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away
I was committin' myself to em n' everyday
I regret sayin' those things 'cuz now I see that I
Took what I hated and made it a part of me

It never goes away [x2]

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
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you

It never goes away [x4]

Get away from me!
Give me my space back you gotta just
Go!
Everything comes down the memories of
You!
I Kept it in without lettin' you
Know!
I Let you go so get away from
Me!
Give me my space back you gotta just
Go!
Everything comes down the memories of
You!
I Kept it in without lettin' you
Know!
I Let you go

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
Giving up a part of me
I've let myself become you
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 concern
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safer in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz 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

Cultured my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I have no options left again

I dont want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
Th at 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
Cuz I'm the one that falls
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
Breaking the habit tonight

FROM THE INSIDE

I don't know who to trust, your surprise
Everything feel so far away from me
Have your thoughts sent through dust, and the lies
Trying not to break, but I'm so tired of this to see
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this, all the time and 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 it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you

Tension is building inside, steadily
You feel so far away from me
Have your thoughts forcing their way out of me

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 time and 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 it all away
Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
I won't waste myself on you!!!
You!!!
You!!!
Waste myself on you!!!
You!!!
You!!!

I'll take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won?t trust myself with you
Everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
You
You
You

NOBODY'S LISTENING

Mike?
Yo. Peep the style and the kids checkin for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
And drop right back in the cut
Over basement tracks with rap sack
Got you back in the sup like rewind that
We just rollin' with the rhythm
Fast from the ashes of stylist division
We these nonstop lyrics of life livin
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiven
When in the mean time there are those who wanna talk
This and that so what suppose that
It gets to the point to where feelings gotta get hurt
And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
It goes

I tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
I told I everything loud and clear
But Nobody's Listening
Call to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
I told you ev erything loud and clear
But Nobody's Listening

I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress, hair full of anger
Hell did my chest
And everything left is waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else's more
Im riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that its better I can't keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
Pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Never forget the Blood, sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years
The fear and the trash talking to the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you.

I tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
I told I everything loud and clear
But Nobody's Listening
Call to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
I told you everything loud and clear
But Nobody's Listening
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress, hair full of anger
Hell did my chest
Uphill stuggle, blood, sweat and tears, nothing to gain
Everything to fear
x2

I tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
I told I everything loud and clear
But Nobody's Listening
Call to you so clearly
But you don't want to hear me
I told you everything loud and clear
But Nobody's Listening

NUMB

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

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've 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 undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
