A place for my head
I watch how the moon sits in the sky
On a dark night shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesnt give light to the moon
Assuming the moons going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors and then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
Pre chorus:
Im sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you dont understand
(Youll see its not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday Ill be just like you, and
Step on people like you do and
Run away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous, but you shouldve known
That youd wear out your welcome
Now you see how quiet it is, all alone
Pre chorus (2x)
Chorus
You try to take the best of me
Go away (8x)

Pre chorus (2x)
In the End
It starts with 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
Trying to hold on, but didnt even know
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
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 explain in due time
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering 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
Chorus
Ive put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
Theres only one thing you should know (2x) Chorus
Bleed it out
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
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
Truth is, you can stop and stare
Run myself out and no one cares
Dug the trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up out of reach somewhere
Yeah, someone pour it in
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in
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, go, stop the show
Drop your words and let sloppy flow
Shotgun, opera, lock and load
Cock it back and then watch it go
Mama, help me, I've been cursed
Death is rollin' in every verse
Candy paint on his brand new hearse
Can't contain him, he knows he works
Fuck, this hurts, I won't lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try
Half the words don't mean a thing
And I know that I won't be satisfied
So I try ignoring him
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in
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 these scars
I'll make you face this
I've pulled myself so far
I'll make you face this now
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, 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 bleed it out
I bleed it out
What I´ve Done
In this farewell,
there's no blood,
there's no alibi.
Cause I've drawn regret,
from the truth,
of a thousand lies.
So let mercy come,
and wash away...
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.
Put to rest,
what you thought of me.
Well I clean this slate,
with the hands of uncertainty
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.
For what I've done,
I start again.
And whatever pain may come,
Today this ends,
I'm forgiving...
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.
What I've done,
Forgiving what I've done.
Numb
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]Memories consume like opening the wounds
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
whith 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
Breaking the habbit
Memories consume like opening the wounds
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
Cuz 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 any time before
I have no options left again
I don't want to be the one the battles always choose
Cuz 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
Cuz 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
