In The End

Mike Rap Text
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
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 away
Didn’t look out below
Watched the time go right out the window
Tried to hold on, but didn’t even know
I wasted it all just to
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
Chester
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the endIt doesn’t even matter
I had to fallTo lose it allBut in the endIt doesn’t even matter
Mike
One thing, I don’t know whyIt doesn’t even matter how hard you
tryKeep that in mind,
I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
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
Things aren’t the way the were beforeYou wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
I kept everything inside
And, even though I tried
, it all fell apartWhat it meant to me will eventually beA memory of a time when
Chester
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the endIt doesn’t even matter
I had to fallTo lose it all
But in the endIt doesn’t even matter
I put my trust in you,
pushed as far as I can go
For all this, there’s only one thing you should know
I put my trust in you,
pushed as far as I can goFor all this
, there’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hardAnd got so far
But in the endIt doesn’t even matter
I had to fallTo lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

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 head
It’s like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that 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 skin

It’s like I’m paranoid, looking over my back
It’s like a whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin

I know I’ve got a face in me
Points out all the mistakes to me
You’ve got a face on the inside, too
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 that 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 hearing you, too
Right inside your skin

It’s like I’m paranoid, looking over my back
It’s like a whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin

It’s like I’m paranoid, looking over my back
It’s like a whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin

The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me

(The sun)
It’s like I’m paranoid, looking over my back
It’s like a whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I can’t stop what I’m hearing within
(I feel the light betray me)
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin
(The sun)
It’s like I’m paranoid, looking over my back
It’s like a whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I can’t stop what I’m hearing within
(I feel the light betray me)
It’s like I can’t stop what I’m hearing within
It’s like I can’t stop what I’m hearing within
(Ah)
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin

One Step Closer



I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I’ve said before
All these words, they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
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)
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 found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
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)
I’m about to break

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

Shut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up when I’m talking to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
I’m about to break

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)
I’m about to break

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

Points Of Authority



Forfeit the game
Before somebody else takes you outta the frame
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race, the pace is too fast
You just won’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 like to think you’re never wrong
You live what you’ve learned
You have to act like you’re someone
You live what you’ve learned
You want someone to hurt like you
You live what you’ve learned
You wanna share what you’ve been through
You live what you’ve learned

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 live what you’ve learned
You have to act like you’re someone
You live what you’ve learned
You want someone to hurt like you
You live what you’ve learned
You wanna share what you’ve been through
You live what you’ve learned

Yo, yo

Crawling


Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There’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 confinced that there’s just too much pressure to take)
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly, has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will, I stand beside my own reflection
It’s haunting how I can’t seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence
I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take)
I’ve felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
(There’s something inside me that pulls beneath the surface)
Confusing what is real
(This lack of self-control, I fear, is never-ending)
Confusing what is real

Run Away



Grafitti decorations under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension on top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learned 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 good-bye
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 eyes

Paper-bags and angry voices under a sky of gray
This constant wave of tension won’t seem to go away
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 good-bye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
Instead of wondering why

I’m gonna run away
And never say good-bye
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
I’m gonna run away
And never wonder why
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
I’m gonna run away
And open up my mind
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
(Mind)
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
(Mind)
Gonna run away
Gonna run away
(Mind)
Gonna run away
Gonna run away

I wanna run away
Never say good-bye
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

I wanna run away
And open up my mind
I wanna run away
And open up my mind
I wanna run away
And open up my mind
I wanna run away
And open up my mind

With 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 me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back

It'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 me

I'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 that 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 me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back

It'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 me

I'm with you
You
Now I see
Keeping everything inside
You
Now I see
Even when I close my eyes
You
Now I see
Keeping everything inside
You
Now I see
Even when I close my eyes

No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
With you

With you
You
Now I see
Keeping everything inside
With you
Now I see
Even when I close my eyes
With you
Now I see
Keeping everything inside
With you
Now I see
Even when I close my eyes

By 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 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 (myself
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself

[Chorus]
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 end things 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
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 (myself

I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself

[Chorus]

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
I can't tell you how to make it
No matter what I do
How hard I
I can't seem to convince myself
I'm stuck on the outside
Don't you
I can't tell you how to make it
No matter what I do
How hard I
I can't seem to convince myself
I'm stuck on the outside

[Chorus]
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)
Without some failure sinking

A Place For My Head

I watch how the
Moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
And 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
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
I'm so
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'm so
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

You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away

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

Shut up

I'm so 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'm so 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

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
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

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 shut looking thought the rust and rotten dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and its dark again

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

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 'til the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again

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
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

In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you

In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

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

(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

[Chorus]
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

(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

[Chorus]

We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
We're all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing

[Chorus]

Pushes me away
Pushes me away
