I usually don't like this stuff, but Linkin Park rocks my
world!...

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?
d o i sit here and try to stand it?
or do i try to catch them red handed?
do i trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
or do i trust nobody and live in loneliness?
because i can’t hold on when i’m stretched so thin
i make the right moves but i’m lost within
i put on my daily facade but then
i just end up getting hurt again
by myself [myself]
i ask why
but in my mind i find
i can’t rely on myself

i can’t hold on
[to what i want when i’m stretched so thin]
it’s all too much to take in
i can’t hold on
[to anything watching everything spin]
with thoughts of failure sinking in

if i turn my back i’m defenseless
and to go blindly seems senseless
if i hide my pride and let it all go on
then they’ll take from me till everything is gone
if i let them go i’ll be outdone
if i try to catch them i’ll be outrun

if i’m killed by the questions like a cancer
then i’ll be buried in the silence of the answer
[by myself]

how do you think i’ve lost so much?
i’m so afraid i’m out of touch
how do you expect i will know what to do?
when all i know is what you tell me to

don’t you know
i can’t tell you how to make it go
no matter what i do. how hard i try
i can’t seem to convince myself why
i’m stuck on the outside..."
