04. Lying From You
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 Ive 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 youve said about me When Im not around You think having the upper hand Means youve got to keep putting me down But Ive had too many stand-offs with you Its about as much as I can stand So Im waiting until the upper hand Is mine One minute youre on top The next youre not Watch it drop Making your heart stop Just before you hit the floor One minute youre on top The next youre not Missed your shot Making your heart stop You think you won And then its all gone 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 Is to feel like Im not stepped on There are so many things you say That make me feel like youve crossed the line What goes up will surely fall And Im counting down the time Cause Ive had so many stand-offs with you Its about as much as I can stand So Im waiting until the upper hand Is mine One minute youre on top The next youre not Watch it drop Making your heart stop Just before you hit the floor One minute youre on top The next youre not Missed your shot Making your heart stop You think you won And then its all gone And then its all gone And then its all gone And then its all gone Now its all gone I know Ill 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 One minute youre on top The next youre not Watch it drop Making your heart stop Just before you hit the floor One minute youre on top The next youre not Missed your shot Making your heart stop You think you won And then its all gone And then its all gone And then its all gone And then its all gone Now its all gone
05. Hit The Floor
Its easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb Its so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone Something has been taken From deep inside of me A secret Ive 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 theyve played 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 Its easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb Its 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 didnt have Sometimes I think of letting go And never looking back And never moving forward so There would never be a past 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 Just washing it aside All of the helplessness inside Pretending I dont feel misplaced Is so much simpler than change Its easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb Its so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone Its easier to run If I could change I would Take back the pain I would Retrace every wrong move that I made Its easier to go 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
06. Easier To Run
I am A little bit of loneliness A little bit of disregard A handful of complaints But I cant help the fact That everyone can see these scars I am What I want you to want What I want you to feel But its like No matter what I do I cant 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 Im not But Ill be here Cause youre all that I got I cant feel The way I did before Dont turn your back on me I wont be ignored Time wont heal This damage anymore Dont turn your back on me I wont be ignored I am A little bit insecure A little unconfident Cause you dont understand I do what I can But sometimes I dont make sense I am What you never want to say But Ive never had a doubt Its like no matter what I do I cant 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 Im not But Ill be here Cause youre all that I got I cant feel The way I did before Dont turn your back on me I wont be ignored Time wont heal This damage anymore Dont turn your back on me I wont be ignored No Hear me out now Youre gonna listen to me Like it or not Right now Hear me out now Youre gonna listen to me Like it or not Right now I cant feel The way I did before Dont turn your back on me I wont be ignored I cant feel The way I did before Dont turn your back on me I wont be ignored Time wont heal This damage anymore Dont turn your back on me I wont be ignored I cant feel Dont turn your back on me I wont be ignored Time wont heal Dont turn your back on me I wont be ignored
07. Faint
Nothing ever stops all these thoughts And the pain attached to them Sometimes I wonder why this is happening Its 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 didnt Realize/Instead of setting it free/I Took what I hated and made it a part of me [It never goes away] never goes away And now Youve become a part of me Youll always be right here Youve become a part of me Youll always be my fear I cant separate myself from What Ive done Giving up a part of me Ive let myself become you Hearing your name/the memories Come back again I remember when it started happening Id 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 [It never goes away] never goes away And now Youve become a part of me Youll always be right here Youve become a part of me Youll always be my fear I cant separate myself from What Ive done Giving up a part of me Ive let myself become you [It never goes away] Never goes away, never goes away Never goes away Get away from Me Gimme my space back/you gotta just Go Everything comes down to memories of You Ive kept it in but now Im letting you Know Ive let you go So get away from me Gimme my space back/you gotta just Go Everything comes down to memories of You Ive kept it in but now Im letting you Know Ive let you go, go.. And now Youve become a part of me Youll always be right here Youve become a part of me Youll always be my fear I cant separate myself from What Ive done Giving up a part of me Ive let myself become you Ive let myself become you Ive let myself become lost inside these Thoughts of you Giving up a part of me Ive let myself become you
08. Figure.09
Memories consume Like opening the wound Im picking me apart again You all assume Im safe here in my room [Unless I try to start again] I dont want to be the one The battles always choose Cause inside I realize That Im the one confused I dont know whats worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I dont know why I instigate And say what I dont mean I dont know how I got this way I know its not alright So Im Breaking the habit Im breaking the habit Tonight Clutching my cure I tightly lock the door I try to catch my breath again I hurt much more Than anytime before I had no options left again I dont want to be the one The battles always choose Cause inside I realize That Im the one confused I dont know whats worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I dont know why I instigate And say what I dont mean I dont know how I got this way Ill never be alright So Im Breaking the habit Im breaking the habit Tonight Ill paint it on the walls Cause Im the one at fault Ill never fight again And this is how it ends I dont know whats worth fighting for Or why I have to scream But now I have some clarity To show you what I mean I dont know how I got this way Ill never be alright So Im Breaking the habit Im breaking the habit Im breaking the habit Tonight
09. Breaking The Habit

10. From The Inside
Coming at ya.. Yo peep the style and the kids checking for it The number one question is How could you ignore it We drop right back in the cut Over basement tracks With raps that got you backing this up like [Rewind That] Were just rolling with the rhythm Rise from the ashes of stylistic division With these non-stop lyrics of life living Not to be forgotten But still unforgiven But in the meantime there are those who wanna Talk this and that/so I suppose that It gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt [It goes] Try to give you warning But everyone ignores me [Told you everything loud and clear] But nobodys listening Call to you so clearly But you dont want to hear me [Told you everything loud and clear] But nobodys listening I got a Heart full of pain/head full of stress Handful of anger/held in my chest And everything left is a waste of time I hate my rhymes [But hate everyone elses more] Im riding on the back of this pressure Guessing that its better I cant keep myself together Because of all this stress Gave me something to write on The pain gave me something I could set my sights on You never forget the blood sweat and tears The uphill struggle over years The fear and trash talking And the people it was to And the people that started it Just like you Try to give you warning But everyone ignores me [Told you everything loud and clear] But nobodys listening Call to you so clearly But you dont want to hear me [Told you everything loud and clear] But nobodys listening I got a Heart full of pain/head full of stress Handful of anger/held in my chest Uphill struggle/blood, sweat and tears Nothing to gain/everything to fear Heart full of pain/head full of stress Handful of anger/held in my chest Uphill struggle/blood, sweat and tears Nothing to gain/everything to fear Heart full of pain.. Try to give you warning But everyone ignores me [Told you everything loud and clear] But nobodys listening Call to you so clearly But you dont want to hear me [Told you everything loud and clear] But nobodys listening Ive got Heart full of pain Head full of stress Nobodys listening Handful of anger Held in my chest Nobodys listening Uphill struggle Blood, sweat and tears Nobodys listening Nothing to gain Everything to fear Nobodys listening [Coming at you]
