The Evolution Of Linkin Park (Ryson Remix)

Together we made it
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall

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 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

Take me down to the river bend
Take me down to the fighting end
Wash the poison from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again

Fly me up on a silver wing
Past the black where the sirens sing
Warm me up in a nova's glow
And drop me down to the dream below

And you were there at the turn
Caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know

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

But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
I'm just talking to myself
Talking to myself

Confusing what is real

Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
I'm just talking to myself

So when you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait to burn it to the ground
When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames as your blazes burn
We can't wait to burn it to the ground

Yeah, thank you, thank you, thank you, far too kind (oh, uh yeah uh yeah)
Now what the hell are you waitin' for?
After me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise

(So let mercy come)
Time is a valuable thing
So let mercy come
Watch it fly by as a pendulum swings
And wash away
(Bring that chorus in)

The nights go on
Waiting dor a light that never comes
I chase the Sun
Waiting for a light that never comes

What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done

And I told them, nah, you don't know me
Lightning above and a fire below me
You cannot catch me, cannot hold me
You cannot stop, much less control me
When it rains, it pours
When the floodgates open, brace your shores
That pressure don't care, it breaks your doors
Say it's all you can take, better take some more

(I'm tired to 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 second I wast is more than I can take

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
(In the end it doesn't even matter)
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
(In the end it doesn't even matter)

What I've done
(I'm tired of being what you me to be)
What I've done
(I'm tired of being what you me to be)
Let go of what I've done

(I am)
(I am)

Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my fucking mind
(I am)
Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from atop these roofs
Knot it tight so I won't get loose
(I am)
I'ts 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 everytime I fall
(I am)
Someone pour it in
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
Say your prayers and stomp it out
Right underneath my skin

I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away, just to throw it away
I bleed it out

I've opened up theses scars
I'll make you face this
I've pulled myself so far
I'll make you face

My skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' 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

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

The face inside is right beneath your skin
God bless us everyone
I feel the light betray me
The face inside is right beneath your skin
God bless us everyone
I feel the light betray me

God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hand
The sins of our tongue
The sins of our father
The sins of our young?
No!

Are you lost in your lies?
Do you tell yourself I don't realize
Your crusade's a disguise
Replaced freedom with fear, you trade money for lives
I'm aware of what you've done

No, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
Your time is borrowed
Your has come to be replaced

(No!) no, no more sorrow
I've paid for your mistakes
(No!) your time is borrowed
Your time has come to be re-

Lift me up
Let me go
Lift me up
Let me go
Yeah, yo
You were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no
I followed, so taken
So conditioned, I could never let go
Blindly forgetting if I'm in the mix
You won't find an equivalent
I've been here killing it
Longer than you've been alive, you idiot
And it makes you so mad
Somebody else could be stepping in front of you
Check the rep, yep, you know mine well
Forget the rest let them know my hell
And you can't understand the fact
That it's over and done
Let the rest be the tale they tell
That I was there, saying

(Lift me up
Let me go)
In these promisses broken, deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go
Go
Go
Good goodbye
Go
Go
Go
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye
Good goodbye

So say goodbye and hit the road
Pack it up and disappear
You better have some place to go
'Cause you can't come back around here
Good goodbye

Good goodbye

(Oh)
Until it's gone
(Oh)
Until it's gone
Until it's gone, oh
Until it's gone, oh
Until it's gone

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way, ah-ah

And the Sun will set for you
The Sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in gray
And the Sun will set for you

When you were standing in the wake of devastation
When you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And with the cataclysm raining down, insides crying: Save me now
You were there, impossibly alone

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go
Let it go

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
(And the shadow of the day will embrace the world in gray and the Sun will set for you)
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go

I'm swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
The blame is mine alone
For bridges I have burned
So don't apologize
I'm losing what I don't deserve
What I don't deserve

I used the dead wood to make the fire rise
The blood of innocence burning in the skies

I'm about to break
(You guilty, you guilty, you guilty)
You guilty all the same
Guilty all the same
Break

Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I given up
I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating
So I'm breaking the habit tonight
Tell me what the f*** is wrong with me

I'll paint it on the walls
I'm about to break
'Cause I'm the one at fault
I'm about to break
I'll never fight again
I'm about to break
And this is how it ends

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
We said it was forever
But then it slipped away
Standing at the end of
The final masquerade
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh)
I'm breaking the habit
Standing at the end of
The final masquerade
Final masquerade
I'm breaking the habit tonight

Forfeit the game before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame, and 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
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up

Yeah, yo

I don't like my mind right now
Why is everything so heavy?
I don't like my mind right now
Why is everything so heavy?

Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control

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'm done here?
(I was confused)
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
(Inside of me)
Yeah, I drive myself crazy
'Cause I can't escape the gravity
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
To what I haven't got

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain till it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And you held it all
But you were careless
To let it fall
And you held it all
And I was by your side
Powerless

I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same

And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And 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

Who cares if one more light goes out?
In the sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

I do
