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]

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

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

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
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

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

Place for my head

I watch how the moon sits in the sky
On a dark night shining with the light from the sun
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 and then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me

PRE CHORUS:
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

CHORUS:
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you, and
Step on people like you do and
Run away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous, but you should've known
That you'd wear out your welcome
Now you see how quiet it is, all alone

Pre chorus (2x)
Chorus

You try to take the best of me
Go away you (8x)
Go away!

CHORUS

Go away!

PRE CHORUS (2x)

Breakin the habit

memories consume
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
the battles always choose
cause inside i realize
that i'm the one confused

i don't know words 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 2x
tonight

clutching my cure
i tried to lock the door
i tried to catch my breath again
i heard much more
than inside before
i have 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 words 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 that falls
i'll never fight again
and this is how it ends

i don't know words 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 2x
tonight

Leave ou all the rest

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 am 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
reason to be missed.
Don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest.

Don’t be afraid
I've taking my beatings
I've shared what I've made

I’m strong on the surface
Not all the way through.
I’ve never been perfect
But neither have you.

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
reason to be missed.
Don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest.

Forgetting
All the hurt inside you’ve learned to hide so well.
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself.
I can’t be who you are…

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I’ve done
Help me leave behind some
reason to be missed.
Don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest, leave out all the rest.

Forgetting…
All the hurt inside you’ve learned to hide so well.
Pretending…
Someone else can come and save me from myself.
I can’t be who you are,
I can’t be who you are …

In the end

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 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

[chorus:]
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

[Chorus]
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

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

[Chorus]
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
