One thing, I dont know why It doesnt even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To explain in due time all I know 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, its so unreal Didnt look out below Watch the time go right out the window Tryin to hold on, didnt even know I wasted it all just to watch you go 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 I tried so hard I tried so hard and got so far But in the end it doesnt even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesnt even matter One thing, I dont know why It doesnt even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mockin me Actin like I was part of your property Rememberin all the times you fought with me Im surprised it got so far Things arent the way they were before You wouldnt even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me in the end You 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 I tried so hard I tried so hard and got so far But in the end it doesnt even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesnt even matter Ive put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this Theres only one thing you should know Ive put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this Theres only one thing you should know I tried so hard and got so far But in the end it doesnt even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesnt even matter

Well I do Who cares if one more light goes out? In the sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someones time runs out? If a moment is all we are Or quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do Well I do

When I pretend everything is what I want it to be I look exactly like what you had always wanted to see When I pretend, I can forget about the criminal I am Stealing second after second just cause I know I can, but I cant pretend this is the way itll stay Im just trying to bend the truth I cant pretend Im who you want me to be So Im lying my way from You I wanna be pushed aside, so let me go Let me take back my life, Id rather be all alone Anywhere on my own, cause I can see The very worst part of you is me I remember what they taught to me Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be Remember listening to all of that and this again So I pretended up a person who was fitting in And now, you think this person really is me And Im trying to bend the truth But the more I push, the more Im pulling away Cause Im lying my way from You I wanna be pushed aside, so let me go Let me take back my life, Id rather be all alone Anywhere on my own, cause I can see The very worst part of you The very worst part of you is me This isnt what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said would have you running from me like this This isnt what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said would have you running from me like this This isnt what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said would have you running from me like this This isnt what I wanted to be I never thought that what I said would have you running from me like this You I wanna be pushed aside, so let me go Let me take back my life, Id rather be all alone Anywhere on my own, cause I can see The very worst part of you The very worst part of you is me
Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something Lightweights step it aside when we come in Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping People on the street, they panic and start running Words on loose-leaf sheet complete coming I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme Im dumping Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping Fuck that, I wanna see some fists pumping Risk something, take back whats yours Say something that you know they might attack you for Cause Im sick of being treated like I have before Like its stupid standing for what Im standing for Like this wars really just a different brand of war Like it doesnt cater to rich and abandon poor Like they understand you in the back of the jet When you cant put gas in your tank These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing the check Asking you to have compassion and have some respect For a leader so nervous in an obvious way Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day In the living room laughing, like, What did he say? Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen In my living room watching, but I am not laughing Cause when it gets tense, I know what might happen The world is cold, the bold men take action Have to react or get blown into fractions Ten years old, something to see Another kid my age drugged under a Jeep Taken and bound and found later under a tree I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me Do you see the soldiers that are out, today? They brush the dust from bulletproof vests away Its ironic, at times like this youd pray But a bomb blew the mosque up, yesterday Theres bombs on the buses, bikes, roads Inside your market, your shops, your clothes My dad, hes got a lot of fear, I know But enough pride inside not to let that show My brother had a book he would hold with pride A little red cover with a broken spine On the back, he hand-wrote a quote inside When the rich wage war, its the poor who die Meanwhile, the leader just talks away Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay The rest of the world watching, at the end of the day Both scared and angry, like, What did he say? Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you With hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you
I scream at myself when theres nobody else to fight I dont lose, I dont win, if Im wrong, then Im halfway right Used to get high with the dead end kids Abandoned houses where the shadows lived I never been higher than I was that night I woke up driving my car I couldnt see then what I see right now The road dissolving like an empty vow Couldnt remember where Id been that night I knew I took it too far All you said to do was slow down I remember, now I remember All you said to do was slow down But I was already gone I scream at myself when theres nobody else to fight I dont lose, I dont win, if Im wrong, then Im halfway right I know what I want, but it feels like Im paralyzed I dont lose, I dont win, if Im wrong, then Im halfway right Told me Kid, youre going way too fast You burn too bright, you know youll never last It was bullshit then, I guess it makes sense now I woke up driving my car Said Id lose you if I lost control I just laughed because what do they know? Here I am, standing all alone Because I took it too far All you said to do was slow down I remember, now I remember All you said to do was slow down But I was already gone I scream at myself when theres nobody else to fight I dont lose, I dont win, if Im wrong, then Im halfway right I know what I want, but it feels like Im paralyzed I dont lose, I dont win, if Im wrong, then Im halfway right , halfway right Na na na na na na na na Nana nana, na nana nana Na na na na na na na na But I was already gone I scream at myself when theres nobody else to fight I dont lose, I dont win, if Im wrong, then Im halfway right Na na na na na na na na Nana nana, na nana nana Na na na na na na na na But I was already gone I scream at myself when theres nobody else to fight I dont lose, I dont win, if Im wrong, then Im halfway right
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 cant hold on when Im stretched so thin I make the right moves, but Im lost within I put on my daily façade, but then I just end up getting hurt again By myself , I ask why But in my mind, I find I cant rely on myself , I ask why But in my mind, I find I cant rely on myself I cant hold on to what I want when Im stretched so thin Its all too much to take in I cant hold on to anything, watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in If I turn my back, Im defenseless And to go blindly seems senseless If I hide my pride and let it all go on Then theyll take from me til everything is gone If I let them go, Ill be outdone But if I try to catch them, Ill be outrun If Im killed by the questions like a cancer Then Ill be buried in the silence of the answer By myself , I ask why But in my mind, I find I cant rely on myself , I ask why But in my mind, I find I cant rely on myself I cant hold on to what I want when Im stretched so thin Its all too much to take in I cant hold on to anything, watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in How do you think Ive lost so much? Im so afraid that Im out of touch How do you expect I will know what to do When all I know is what you tell me to? Dont you know I cant tell you how to make it go No matter what I do, how hard I try I cant seem to convince myself why Im stuck on the outside Dont you know I cant tell you how to make it go No matter what I do, how hard I try I cant seem to convince myself why Im stuck on the outside I cant hold on to what I want when Im stretched so thin Its all too much to take in I cant hold on to anything, watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in I cant hold on to what I want when Im stretched so thin Its all too much to take in I cant hold on to anything, watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking
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 Im pretending to be where Im not anymore A little taste of hypocrisy And Im left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react Even though youre so close to me Youre still so distant and I cant bring you back Its true, the way I feel Was promised by your face The sound of your voice Painted on my memories Even if youre not with me Im with you You, now I see, keeping everything inside With you 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 isnt real Now Im trapped in this memory And Im left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react So even though youre close to me Youre still so distant and I cant bring you back Its true the way I feel Was promised by your face The sound of your voice Painted on my memories Even if youre not with me Im with you You, now I see, keeping everything inside With you You, now I see, even when I close my eyes With you You, now I see, keeping everything inside With you You, now I see, even when I close my eyes No, no matter how far weve come I cant wait to see tomorrow No matter how far weve come I, I cant wait to see tomorrow With you You, now I see, keeping everything inside With you You, now I see, even when I close my eyes With you You, now I see, keeping everything inside With you You, now I see, even when I close my eyes
Tearing me apart with the words you wouldnt say And suddenly tomorrows a moment washed away Cause I dont have a reason and you dont have the time But we both keep on waiting for something we wont find The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday With shadows floating over, the scars began to fade We said it was forever, but then it slipped away Standing at the end of the final masquerade The final masquerade All I ever wanted, the secrets that you keep All you ever wanted, the truth I couldnt speak Cause I cant see forgiveness and you cant see the crime But we both keep on waiting, for what we left behind The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday With shadows floating over, the scars began to fade We said it was forever, but then it slipped away Standing at the end of the final masquerade The final masquerade The final masquerade Standing at the end of the final masquerade The light on the horizon was brighter yesterday With shadows floating over, the scars began to fade We said it was forever, but then it slipped away Standing at the end of the final masquerade Standing at the end of the final masquerade Standing at the end of the final masquerade The final masquerade
Theres an emptiness tonight A hole that wasnt there before And I keep reaching for the light But I cant find it anymore Theres an emptiness tonight A heavy hand that pulls me down They say its gonna be alright But cant begin to tell me how And I ask myself out loud... Have I been lost all along? Was there something I could say, or something I should not have done? Was I lost all along? Was I looking for an answer when there never really was one? Was I looking for an answer when there never really was one? Is there sunshine where you are? The way there was when you were here Cause Im just sitting in the dark In disbelief that this is real In disbelief that this is real Have I been lost all along? Was there something I could say or something I should not have done? Was I lost all along? Was I looking for an answer when there never really was one? Was I looking for an answer when there never really was one? And I ask myself out loud... Have I been lost all along? Was there something I could say or something I should not have done? Was I lost all along? Was I looking for an answer when there never really was one? Was I looking for an answer when there never really was one?
When you feel youre alone, cut off from this cruel world Your instincts telling you to run Listen to your heart, those angel voices Theyll sing to you, theyll be your guide back home When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind It keeps us kind When youve suffered enough and your spirit is breaking Youre growing desperate from the fight Remember youre loved and you always will be This melody will bring you right back home When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind

Youve become a part of me Youve become a part of me I cant separate Giving up a part of me, Ive let myself become you Hearin your name, the memories come back again I remember when it started happenin Id see you in every thought I had, and then The thoughts slowly found words attached to them And I knew as they escaped away I was committin myself to em, and every day I regret sayin those things, cause now I see that I Took what I hated and made it a part of me It never goes away It never goes away And now... Youve become a part of me Youve become a part of me I cant separate Giving up a part of me, Ive let myself become you Never goes away, never goes away It never goes away, it never goes away Gimme my space back, you gotta just Everything comes down to memories of Ive kept it in, but now Im lettin you Ive let you go, so get away from me Gimme my space back, you gotta just Everything comes down to memories of Ive kept it in, but now Im lettin you Ive let you go Youve become a part of me Youve become a part of me I cant separate Giving up a part of me, Ive let myself become you Ive let myself become you Ive let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you Giving up a part of me, Ive let myself become you

Hey, yo, when this first started off it was just Linkin Park And then in the middle came Motion Man And at the end of it all, it was KutMasta Kurt with a remix One thing, I dont know why It doesnt even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme When I was obsessed with time All I know, time was just slipping away And I watched it count down to the end of the day Watched it watch me and the words that I say The echo of the clock rhythm in my veins I know that I didnt look out below When I watched the time go right out the window Trying to grab hold, trying not to watch I wasted it all on the hands of the clock But in the end, no matter what I pretend The journey is more important than the end or the start And what it meant to me will eventually be a memory Of a time when I tried so hard I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesnt even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesnt even matter Ay, yo, one thing, I dont know why It doesnt even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time All I know, hah, I so-socialize Like the host of the party I spoke, shaked, and made eye contact Partied and toasted strong, all that Northeast, Southwest coast Im staring out the window No opportunity to mingle I tried to sew it up, you weaken your system And had to throw it up I brought you back into things Like imaginary man of your dreams Youd always seem to make it worth it I pig-skin, I never nerf it You felt leather, never pleather Real bringing the pleasure By any means, it means Im leaving your team Hell of a team, man, it seems but I tried so hard I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesnt even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesnt even matter Linkin Park Remix Mo-Mo-Motion Man Linkin Park In the end Kutmasta Kurt Linkin Park Remix Mo-Mo-Motion Man Linkin Park In the end Kutmasta Kurt Remix One thing, I dont know how It doesnt even matter when you look at it now Cause when I designed this rhyme I was scared of it all, scared to fall And hadnt even tried to crawl But I was forced to run, with you mocking me Stopping me, backstabbing me constantly Remembering all the times you fought with me Watch the clock now, chock full of hypocrisy But now your mouth wishes it could inhale Every single little thing you said to make things fail Every single word you sputtered just to get your piece But it really doesnt matter to me Cause from the start to the end, no matter what I pretend The journey is more important than the end or the start And what it meant to me will eventually be a memory Of a time when I tried so hard I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesnt even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesnt even matter In the end

From the top to the bottom At the core, Ive forgotten Taken far from my safety The memory wont escape me Were stuck in a place so dark, you can hardly see A manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe And as the rain drips acidic questions around me I block out the sight of the powers that be And duck away into the darkness, times up I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut So tight that it blurs into the world of pretend And the eyes ease open and its dark again From the top to the bottom At the core, Ive forgotten Taken far from my safety The memory wont escape me In the memory, youll find me Eyes burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up Listen to the sound, dizzy from the ups and downs And nauseated by the polluted rot thats all around Watching the wheels of cars that pass I look past to the last of the light and the long shadows it casts A window grows, captures the eye And cries out yellow light as it passes me by And a young, shadowy figure sits in front of a box Inside a building of rock with antennas on top Now, nothing can stop in this land of the pain The sane lose, not knowing they were part of the game And while the insides change, the box stays the same And the figure inside could bear anybodys name The memories I keep are from a time like then I put on my paper so I could come back to them Someday, Im hoping to close my eyes and pretend That this crumpled up paper can be perfect again Yo, from the top to the bottom At the core, Ive forgotten Taken far from my safety The memory wont escape me Im here at this podium talking, the ceremonial offerings Dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring City governments are eternally napping Trapped in greedy covenants, causing urban collapse And bullets that scar souls with dark holes Get more than your car stole Some hearts be blacker than charcoal This societys deprivation depends Not on our differences, but the separation within No reparation is made, limited aid on minimum wage Living in a tenement cage where rent isnt paid Tragedy within a parade The darkness overspreads like a permanent plague Im the forgotten In the memory youll find me Eyes burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up
We knew the world would not be the same Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent I remember the line from The Hindu Scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita Vishnu is trying to persuade the prince that he should do his duty And, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says: Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds I suppose we all thought that, one way or another

Yo Watch as the room rocks, mentally moonwalk Mixed Media slang bangin in your boombox Verbal violence, lyrical stylist In a time when rock hip-hop rhymes are childish You cant tempt me with rhymes that are empty Rappin to a beat doesnt make you an MC With your lack of skill and facility, youre killin me And a DJ in the group just for credibility I heard that some of you are gettin help with your rhymes Youre not an MC if someone else writes your lines Rappin over rock doesnt make you a pioneer Cause rock and hip-hop have collaborated for years But now, theyre getting randomly mixed and matched up All after a fast buck, and all the tracks suck So how does it stack up?
