I´m 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, 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 cant seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sence of confidence, and i´m confinced that theres just too much pressure to take)
I´ve felt his way before, so insecure...

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort endlesly as pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
Its haunting how I cant seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sence of confidence, and i´m convinced that theres just too much pressure to take)
I´ve felt this way before, so insecure...

Without a sence of confidence
Without a sence of confidence
Without a sence of confidence, and i´m convinced that theres just too much pressure to take
Without a sence of confidence
Without a sence of confidence
Without a sence of confidence, and i´m convinced that theres just too much pressure to take
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sence of confidence, and i´m convinced that theres just too much pressure to take)
I´ve felt this way before, so insecure...


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...

I´m here at the podium talking, the ceremonial offerings
Dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring
What´s happening
City governments are eternally napping
Trapped in greedy covenants, causin urban collapsing
Bullets that scar souls, with dark holds, get more than your car stole
Some hearts be blacker than charcoal
For real, this society´s deprivation depends not on our differences, but the separation within
No preparation is made, limited aid, minimum wage
Livin in a tenement cage where rent isn´t paid
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspread like permanent plauge
I´m the forgotten

In the memory you´ll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I´ve 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
Just like before
Everything you say to me
Take´s me one step closer to the edge
And I´m about to break
I need a little room to pray
´Cause I´m one step closer to the edge
And I´m about to break
I´ve found 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

A sky of grey
This constant apprehension still giving me away
The lessons I´ve forgotten
Inside of all I´ve learned
Now I find myself in question
Point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
Point the finger at me again

I wanna runaway
(I wanna runaway)
I wanna know the truth
(I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers
(I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door
(And open up my mind)
And open up my mind
(And open up my mind)

Paper bags and angry voices under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension won´t seem to go away
All my talk of starting over
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(point the finger at me again)
I´m guilty by association
(point the finger at me again)

I wanna runaway
(I wanna runaway)
I wanna know the truth
(I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers
(I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door
(And open up my mind)
And open up my mind
(And open up my mind)

Gonna runaway, gonna runaway
Gonna runaway, gonna runaway
Runaway [being scratched over and over again]
(Ya´ll not ready)
Hey yo
I dont think ya´ll ready for what I´m about to do
Y´all new school dudes ain´t even got no clue
How dare you forget about Bam and Zulu
Two urban jazz DJ´s they paved the way
Let me spit it to y´all who said I wasn´t gonna make it
Everytime I blaze it, ya´ll the first to hate it
My team rains supreme and stays strong
Every 2 series son, they scared to put us on
Can´t get with the high prince, get off your atis
Too many of y´all is dyin´ for us so I gotta blaze it
I´m still reppin BK, Brooklyn D and on
Hell fire and family allienation
Banging hits in the backyard
Out on the episode
Oh no

By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can´t rely on myself
By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can´t rely on myself
I can´t hold on
To what I want when I´m stretched so thin
It´s all too much to take in
I can´t hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
How do you think / I´ve lost so much
I´m so afraid / I´m out of touch
How do you expect / I will know what to do
When all I know / Is what you tell me to

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 everytime 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

I wont let you control my fate while i´m holding the weight of the world on my concience
(No)
I wont just sit here and wait while you weighin your options
Your makin a fool of me
(No)
You didnt dare to try and say you dont care
And salamly swear not to follow me there
(No)
It aint like me to beg on my knees
Or, please oh baby please
Thats not how i´m doin things
(No)
No i´m not upset, no i´m not angry
I know love is love and love sometimes, it doesnt pay me
(No)
I´m never without you, i´ll always be with you
You´ll never forget me, i´m keeping you with me
(No)
I wont let you take me to the end of my row
Or keep burning and torching my soul
(No)
No i´m not your puppet
And no, now...

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
(and) for all this
There´s only one thing you should know (2x)

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

And there´s your heaven
From the beggining to the end
As LinKin Park would say...
