No lyrics

2. 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

(chorus)

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 give myself back and)

Don't stay

(chorus ends)

Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well

Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself

Sometimes I'm in disbelief, I didn't know

Somehow I need to be alone

(Chorus repeats)

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

(Chorus repeats)

3. Somewhere I Belong

When this began

I had nothing to say

And I'd 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 the vacancy 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

(Chorus)

I want to heal

I want to feel

What I thought was never real

I want to let go of the pain I've held so long

[Erase all the pain 'til it's gone]

I want to heal

I want to feel

Like I'm close to something real

I want to find something i've wanted all along

Somewhere I belong

(end chorus)

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

The fault is my own

(Chorus repeats)

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 'til I break away from me

And I will break away

I'll find myself today

(chorus repeats twice)

4. Lying From You

When I pretend

Everything is what I want it to be

I look exactly like what you had always

Wanted to see

When I pretend

I can forget about the criminal I am

Stealing second after second just 'cause

I know I can/But

I can't pretend this is the way

It will stay/I'm just

Trying to bend the truth

I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be

So I'm

(chorus)

Lying my way from you

[No/no turning back now]

I wanna be pushed aside

So let me go

[No/no turning back now]

Let me take back my life

I'd rather be all alone

[No turning back now]

Anywhere on my own

'Cause I can see

[No/no turning back now]

The very worst part of you

Is me

(chorus ends)

I remember what they taught to me

Remember condescending talk

Of who I ought to be

Remember listening to all of that

And this again

So I pretended up a person who was fitting in

And now you think this person

Really is me and I'm

[Trying to bend the truth]

But the more I push

The more I'm pulling away

'Cause I'm

(chorus)

Lying my way from you

[No/no turning back now]

I wanna be pushed aside

So let me go

[No/no turning back now]

Let me take back my life

I'd rather be all alone

[No turning back now]

Anywhere on my own

'Cause I can see

[No/no turning back now]

The very worst part of you

The very worst part of you

Is me

(chorus ends)

This isn't what I wanted to be

I never thought that what I said

Would have you running from me

Like this

(repeat 3x)

(chorus repeats)

5. Hit the Floor

There are just too many

Times that people

Have tried to look inside of me

Wondering what I think of you

And I protect you out of courtesy

Too many times that I've

Held on when I needed to push away

Afraid to say what was on my mind

Afraid to say what I need to say

Too many

Things that you've said about me

When I'm not around

You think having the upper hand

Means you've got to keep putting me down

But I've had too many stand-offs with you

It's about as much as I can stand

So I'm waiting until the upper hand

Is mine

(chorus)

One minute you're on top

The next you're not

Watch it drop

Making your heart stop

Just before you hit the floor

One minute you're on top

The next you're not

Missed your shot

Making your heart stop

You think you won

And then it's all gone

(chorus ends)

So many people like me

Put so much trust in all your lies

So concerned with what you think

To just say what we feel inside

So many people like me

Walk on eggshells all day long

All I know is that all I want

There are so many things you say

That make me feel like you've crossed the line

What goes up will surely fall

And I'm counting down the time

'Cause I've had so many stand-offs with you

It's about as much as I can stand

So I'm waiting until the upper hand

Is mine

(chorus repeats)

(bridge) And then it's all gone

And then it's all gone

And then it's all gone

And then it's all gone

Now it's all gone

(bridge ends)

I know I'll never trust a single thing you say

You knew your lies would divide us

But you lied anyway

And all the lies have got you floating

Up above us all

But what goes up has got to fall

(chorus and bridge repeat)

6. Easier to Run

It's easier to run

Replacing this pain with something numb

It's so much easier to go

Than face all this pain here all alone

Something has been taken

From deep inside of me

A secret I've kept locked away

No one can ever see

Wounds so deep they never show

They never go away

Like moving pictures in my head

For years and years they've played

(chorus)

If I could change I would

Take back 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 back 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

(chorus ends)

It's easier to run

Replacing this pain with something numb

It's so much easier to go

Than face all this pain here all alone

Sometimes I remember

The darkness of my past

Bringing back these memories

I wish I didn't have

Sometimes I think of letting go

And never looking back

And never moving forward so

There would never be a past

(chorus repeats)

Just washing it aside

All of the helplessness inside

Pretending I don't feel misplaced

Is so much simpler than change

It's easier to run

Replacing this pain with something numb

It's so much easier to go

Than face all this pain here all alone

(chorus repeats)

7. Faint

I am

A little bit of loneliness

A little bit of disregard

A handful of complaints

But I can't help the fact

That everyone can see these scars

I am

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're all that I got

(chorus)

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

(chorus ends)

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 am

What you never want to 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're all that I got

(chorus repeats)

No

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

(chorus repeats twice)

8. Figure 9

Nothing ever stops all these thoughts

And the pain attached to them

Sometimes I wonder why this is happening

It's like nothing I can do

Will distract me when

I think of how I shot myself in the back again

'Cause from the infinite words I could say/I

Put all the pain you gave to me on

Display/But didn't

Realize/Instead of setting it free/I

Took what I hated and made it a part of me

(chorus)

[It never goes away] never goes away

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

(chorus ends)

Hearing your name/the memories

Come back again

I remember when it started happening

I'd see you in every thought I had and then

The thoughts slowly found words

Attached to them

And I knew as they escaped away I was

Committing myself to them/and every day I

Regret saying those things/'cause now

I see/that I

Took what I hated and made it a part of me

(chorus repeats)

(bridge)

[It never goes away]

Never goes away, never goes away

Never goes away

(bridge ends)

Get away from

Me

Gimme my space back/you gotta just

Go

Everything comes down to memories of

You

I've kept it in but now I'm letting you

Know

I've let you go

So get away from me

Gimme my space back/you gotta just

Go

Everything comes down to memories of

You

I've kept it in but now I'm letting you

Know

I've let you go, go..

(chorus repeats)

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

9. 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

(chorus)

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

(chorus ends)

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

(chorus repeats)

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

(chorus)

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

10. 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

(chorus)

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

(chorus ends)

Tension is building inside, steadily

You feel so far away from me

Have your thoughts forcing their way out of me

(chorus)

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!!!

(chorus ends)

(2nd version of chorus repeats 1x)

11. Nobody's Listening

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

(chorus)

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

(chorus ends)

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.

(chorus repeats)

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

(1st version of chorus repeats)

12. Sessions

No lyrics

13. 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)

(chorus)

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

(chorus ends)

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

(chorus repeats)

And I know

I may end up failing too

But I know

You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

(chorus repeats 2x)
