[Linkin Park]

| n u m b | I'm tired of 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 step that I take is another mistake to you [Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow] I've Become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired So much more aware I'm becoming this All I want to do Is be more like me And be less like you 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 undertow / Just caught in the undertow] Every step that I take is another mistake to you [Caught in the undertow / Just caught in the undertow] And every second I waste is more than I can take I've Become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired So much more aware I'm becoming this All I want to do Is be more like me And be less like you And I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me With someone disappointed in you I've Become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired So much more aware I'm becoming this All I want to do Is be more like me And be less like you I've Become so numb I can't feel you there I'm tired of being what you want me to be I've Become so numb I can't feel you there I'm tired of being what you want me to be.

| b r e a k i n g t h e h a b i t | Memories consume Like opening the wound I'm picking me apart again You all assume I'm safe here in my room [Unless I try to start again] I don't want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause 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 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 don't want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause 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'll never be alright So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight I'll paint it on the walls 'Cause I'm the one at fault I'll never fight again 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 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 I'm breaking the habit tonight

| 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 frowneventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find we're out of time leftto 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 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

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 lie
We'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)

|Step Up|
watch as the room rocks
metally moonwalk
mix media slang banging in your boombox
verbal violence
lyrical stylist
in a time when rock/hip-hop rhymes are childish
You can't tell me with rhymes that are empty
rappin' to a beat doesn't make you an emcee
with all your lack of skill and facility you're killing me
and the DJ in the group just for credibility

i heard it some of you were getting help with your rhyme
you're not an emcee if someone else writes your lines
rappin' over rock doesn't make you a pioneer
'cause rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years
but now they're gettig randomly mixed-and-matched up
all after a fast buck
and all the tracks suck
so how does it stack up? none of it's real
you wanna be an emcee you gotta study the skill

Chorus:
who can rock a rhyme like this?
bring it to you every time like this
who can rock a rhyme like this?
step, step up, step, step up

so you pick up a pen and write yourself a new identity
but mentally you don't have the hip-hop energy
with the tendancy to make 'em stories
it sounded like the only hip-hop you heard was Top 40 (Top 40)
and the record companies completely miss it
and all the kids are dissin' it for not bein' legitimate

so in a battle you can't hack it
react with whack shit
and get smacked with verbal backflips
get your ass kicked with a fabulous battle catalyst
its taken decades for emcee's to establish this
you're new to hip-hop
and 'welcome' if your serious
but not on the mic - leave that to the experienced

(spoken)
using waves of sound, the true master paralyses his opponent,
making him vulnerable to attack.

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

(spoken)
after years of painstaking research
by the world's leading sound scientists
we here at the Sound Institute have invented
a reliable audio weapon system.
actual movement of musical sound in space is
used to carefully an attack
and neutralize the cellular structure of the human body
the question must be asked...

(Chorus)

...and you do it like thiiiiiiisssss.......

|Part Of Me|
Part of me won't go away
Everyday reminded how much I hate it
Weighted against the consequences
Can't live without it so it's senseless
Wanna cut it out of my soul
And just live with a gaping hole
Take control of my life
And wash out all the burnt taste
I made the problems in the first place
Hang my head low cause it's part of me
You hardly see right next to the heart of me
Hurting me, the routine scar
New cuts cover where the old ones are
And I'm sick of this
I can't stand the sandpaper thoughts that grate on my sanity
I rather not even be then the man that's staring in the mirrorthrough me

Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what's killing me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what's killing me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what's killing me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what's killing me

I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me

(how can it be frightening if you've never felt it)
Once it's been dealt with you feel like you've been touched bysomething angelic
And then melted down into a pool of peace
Cease to be the animal you used to be
Remove the broken parts you know were wrong
And feel the karma when the problem's all gone
And then you start to see another piece of yourself that youcan't let be
And that reason will last fight to free yourself
Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well
And now you know you can choose to lose the part in your heart
Where your insides bruise
You can live if you're willing to
Put a stop to just what's killing you

Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what's killing me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what's killing me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what's killing me
Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what's killing me

I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me

Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams away silently
This part of me won't go away, part of me won't go away

Everywhere I look around I see how everyone aught to be
Every time I see myself I see there's always something wrong withme

I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me
I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me

I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me
