[Mike Shinoda] 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 canĀ“t hold on when IĀ“m stretched so thin I make the right moves, but IĀ“m lost within I put on my daily faƧade, but then I just end up getting hurt again
[ Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington] By myself (Myself) I ask why (But in my mind, I find) I canĀ“t rely on myself (Myself) I ask why (But in my mind, I find) I canĀ“t rely on myself
[Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda] I canĀ“t hold on (To what I want when IĀ“m stretched so thin) ItĀ“s all too much to take in I canĀ“t hold on (To anything, watching everything spin) With thoughts of failure sinking in [Mike Shinoda] If I turn my back, IĀ“m defenseless And to go blindly seems senseless If I hide my pride and let it all go on Then theyĀ“ll take from me Ā“til everything is gone
If I let them go, IĀ“ll be outdone But if I try to catch them, IĀ“ll be outrun If IĀ“m killed by the questions like a cancer Then IĀ“ll be buried in the silence of the answer

[Mike Shinoda] How do you think IĀ“ve lost so much? IĀ“m so afraid that IĀ“m out of touch How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to? [ Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington] DonĀ“t you (Know) I canĀ“t tell you how to make it (Go) No matter what I do, how hard I (Try) I canĀ“t seem to convince myself (Why) IĀ“m stuck on the outside
