## Song lyrics
### Hybrid Theory (2000)

* Why does it feel like night today
* I know just what it feels like to have a voice in the back of my head.
* The face inside is right beneath the skin
* The sun goes down, I feel the light betray me
** "Papercut"
* All these words they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance
* I need a little room to breathe
* Shut up when I'm talking to you
** "One Step Closer"
* I woke up in a dream today to the cold of the static put my cold feet on the floor
* It's true, the way I feel what's promised by your face the sound of your voice painted on my memories even if you're not with me, I'm with you
* No, no matter how far we've come I can't wait to see tomorrow
** "With You"
* You live what you've learned
** "Points of Authority"
* Crawling in my skin these wounds they will not heal fear is how I fall Confusing what is real
* Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take.
** Crawling
* Graffiti 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
** "Runaway"
* If I let them go I'll be outdone, If I let try to catch them I'll be outrun.
** "By Myself"
* It starts with one
* Time is a valuable thing, watch it fly by as the pendulum swings.
* I've put my trust in you pushed as far as I can go for all this, there's only one thing you should know
** "In the End"
* I wanna be in the energy not with the enemy
** "A Place For My Head"
* A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats on down the street til the wind is gone and the memory now is like the picture was then when the paper's crumpled up, it can't be perfect again
* Now you got me caught in the act you bring that thought back
** "Forgotten"
* And now for a lesson in rhythm management
* All right now, wasn't that fun? Let's try something else
** "Cure for the Itch"
* This is the last smile that I'll fake for the sake of being with you.
** "Pushing Me Away"

### Reanimation (2002)

* Reverse psychology is failing miserably, it's so hard to be, left all alone. Telling you is the, only chance for me, there's nothing left but to turn and face you.
** P5ing me a*wy
* The journey is more important than the end or the start
** Enth E Nd

### Meteora (2003)

* I want to find something I wanted all along
* (When this began) I had nothing to say, and I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
** "Somewhere I Belong"
* One minute you're on top Next you're not, as you drop Making your heart stop Just before you hit the floor
** "Hit the Floor"
* If I could change I would, take back the pain I would, re-trace 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.
** "Easier to Run"
* Don't turn your back on me, I won't be ignored
** "Faint"
* 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 all right So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit tonight
** "Breaking the Habit"
* I don't know who to trust, no surprise
** "From the Inside"
* 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
* We're just rolling with the rhythm Rise from the ashes of stylistic division With these non-stop lyrics are life, living Not to be forgotten, still unforgiven
** "Nobody's Listening"
* I'm tired of being what you want me to be
* Caught in the undertow
* I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
** "Numb"

### Minutes to Midnight (2007)

* Put me out of my fucking misery
** "Given Up"
* I dreamed I was missing
* When my time comes, forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
** "Leave Out All the Rest"
* Here we go for the hundredth time hand grenade pins in every line throw 'em out and let something shine going out of my fucking mind
* Find a new place to hang this noose String me up from atop these roofs Knot it tight so I won't get loose
* Say your prayers and stomp it out when they bring that chorus in
* I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away
* Shotgun opera, lock and load
* Fuck this hurts, I won't lie Doesn't matter how hard I try.
** "Bleed It Out"
* And the shadow of the day will embrace the world in grey and the sun will set for you
** "Shadow of the Day"
* In this farewell there's no blood there's no alibi
* So let mercy come and wash away
** "What I've Done"
* Ten years old, and it's something to see another kid my age dragged under a Jeep taken and bound and found later under a tree I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me
* My brother had a book, he would hold it with pride a little red cover with a broken spine on the back he hand-wrote a quote inside "When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die."
* With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you Amen
** "Hands Held High"
* Are you lost, in your lies? Do you tell yourself I don't realize your crusade's a disguise? Replacing freedom with fear, trading money for lives I'm aware of what you've done.
** "No More Sorrow"

### A Thousand Suns (2010)

* I used the deadwood to make the fire rise the blood of innocents burning in the skies
* And in the end we were meant to be apart in separate chambers of the human heart
** "Burning in the Skies"
* I am not a pattern to be followed the pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow I'm not a criminal not a role model not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow
* I'm not a robot I'm not a monkey I won't dance, even if the beat's funky
* Y'all oughta stop talking, start trying to catch up, motherfucker
* Lauryn said money change the situation Big said it increase the complication Kane said don't step, I ain't the one Chuck said an Uzi weigh a motherfuckin' ton
** "When They Come For Me"
* And you think there's not enough love and no one to give it to
* So hold on, the weight of the world will give you the strength to go
** "Robot Boy"
* This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm And though the words sound steady something empty's within them
* All I wanna do is trade this life for something new holding onto what I haven't got.
* What was left when the fire was gone? I thought I felt right, but the right was wrong
** "Waiting For The End"
* You're pushing back down blackout, blood in your eye
* Fuck it, are you listening?
* Floating down as colors fill the light We look up from the ground in fields of paper white And floating up you pass us in the night A future gazing out, a past to overwrite
* Come down far below We've been waiting to collect what you've let go
** Blackout
* There ain't shit we don't run when the guns unload and no one make a move unless my people say so
* Steel unload, final blow We the animals take control hear us now, clear and true wretches and kings, we come for you
** "Wretches and Kings"
* As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
** "Iridescent"
* And when I close my eyes tonight to symphonies of blinding light
* God save us everyone will we burn inside the fire of a thousand suns for the sins of our hands the sins of our tongues the sins of our fathers the sins of our young
** "The Catalyst"
* When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind
** "The Messenger"

### Living Things (2012)

* Fly me up on a silver wave Past the black where the sirens sang warm me up in a nova's glow and drop me down to the dream below
* Cause I'm only a crack, in this castle of glass, hardly anything there for you to see, for you to see.
** "Castle of Glass"
* For you snakes in the grass supplying the venom I ain't scared of your teeth-- I admire what's in 'em
* Wanna talk about a victim I'mma put you in with 'em
** "Victimized"
* Weep not for roads untraveled Weep not for sights unseen May your love never end And if you need a friend there's a seat here alongside me.
** "Roads Untraveled"
* Skin to bone, steel to rust Ash to ashes, dust to dust Let tomorrow have its way With the promises we made Skin to bone, steel to rust
** "Skin To Bone"
* My mama taught words My daddy built rockets I put 'em together Now tell me what I got
* We swim against the rising waves And crash against the shore The body bends until it breaks The early morning sings no more
** "Until It Breaks"

### One More Light (2017)

* Mama always told me don't you run Don't you run with scissors, son You're gonna hurt someone
* Sharp edges have consequences, I Guess that I had to find out for myself Sharp edges have consequences, now Every scar is a story I can tell
** "Sharp Edges"
* We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep There are things that we can have, but can't keep
* Who cares if one more light goes out? In the sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone's time runs out? If a moment is all we are We're quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out?, Well I do.
** "One More Light"

### Recharged (2013)

* Night gets darkest right before dawn What don't kill you makes you more strong
** "A Light That Never Comes"

## Single Releases

* And your voice was all I heard; that I get what I deserve
** "New Divide", Transformers 2 OST
* You're guilty all the same; Too sick to be ashamed; You want to point your finger; But there's no one else to blame.
** "Guilty All The Same (2014)"
