PAPERCUT: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 headIt'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 skinIt's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my backIt's like a whirlwind inside of my headIt's like I can't stop what I'm hearing withinIt'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 meYou'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 every time 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 skinChorus
The face inside is right beneath your skin (3x)The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end)
Chorus (Repeat until end)ON
E STEP CLOSER:I cannot take this anymoreI'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over againshut up when I'm talking to youWIT
H YOU:I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static / and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake / slow to react
Even though you're so close to meYou're still so distant / And I can't bring you backIt's true / the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with meI'm with you
You / Now I see/ keeping everything inside
You / Now I see / Even when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor / the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake / slow to react
Even though you're close to meYou're still so distant / And I can't bring you backno
No matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With youPOINT
S OF AUTHORITY:Forfeit the game / Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face / You can't run the race
The pace is too fast / You just can't last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life
My pride is broken
You love the things I say I'll do-
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in / my life
My pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
You want to act like you're someone
You want someone to hurt like you
You want to share what you've been through(
You live what you learn)CRAWLING:
Crawling in my skin
These wounds / they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is realThere's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming / confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling / I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in[
Without a sense of confidence / I'm convincedthere's just too much pressure to take]I've felt this way before
So insecure
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting / reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflectionIt's haunting how I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in[
Without a sense of confidence / I'm convincedthere's just too much pressure to take]I've felt this way before
So insecure...RUNAWAY:
Graffiti decorations
Underneath a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again
Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
Gonna run away...B
Y MYSELF: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'Do I / sit here and try to stand ità
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 façade 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 thinIt's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If ITurn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on / then they'llTake from me 'till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But 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 muchI'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 toDon'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 whyI'm stuck on the outsideI
N THE END:It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you trykeep 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 awayIt's so unrealDidn'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 trykeep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to explain in due time
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 meI'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 IChorusI've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all thisThere's only one thing you should know (2x) ChorusA 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
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)ChorusYou try to take the best of me
Go away (8x)ChorusPre chorus (2x)FORGOTTEN: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 is there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care (2x)There's a place so dark you can't see the end(
Skies cock back) and shock that which can't defend
The rain then sends dripping acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust and rotten dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its dark againChorusBridge:
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Moving all around
Screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go round and the sunset creeps past the
Street lamps, chain-link, and concrete
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn
Floats on down the street till the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect againChorusBridge
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought backI'm telling you that
I see it right through you (7x)Bridge (2x)PUSHING ME AWAY:I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
Pre chorus:(
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie(
Everything has to end, you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me awayI've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last timeI'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
Pre chorus
Chorus (2x)We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lieWe're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing
Chorus (2x)Pushes me away?(2x)
