Lyrics: Linkin Park - Reanimation

H! Vltg3

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes....

Hybrid
I've been diggin in crates ever since I was livin in space
Before the rat race, before monkeys had you in traits
I mastered numerology, big band theology, performed lobotomies with telekanetic psychology
Invented the mic to so I can start blessin it
Chin-checkin' kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist my chords like double helixes to show them what I'm made of
I buckle knees like leg braces, cast a spell of instrumentalist on all of you MC's who hate us
So you can try on, leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinite, let icon be bygones
I fire bombs, ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats, but moved on to a promise
I stomp shit with or without an accomplice
And run the guantlett with whoever that wants this

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin you up and takin you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rythm and rhyme collide

I've put a kink in the backbones, of clones, with microphones
Never satisfied my rhymes jones
Spraying bright day over what you might say
My blood types krylon, Technicolor type A
On highways write with road rage
Cages a win, cages a tin, that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scenes
Subliminal gangrene paintings, over all the same things
Sing songs karaoke copy bullshit
Break bones verbally with sticks and stones tactics
Forth dimension, compact convention
Write rhymes with ease while the track stands at attention
Men to put you away, with the pencil
Pistol, official, sixteen line, a rhyme missile
While you risk your all
I pick out at your flaws
Singing rah blah, blah, blah you can say you saw

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin you up and takin you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rythm and rhyme collide
High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin you up and takin you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rythm and rhyme collide

Who's the man, the man in your hand over your land
Roving over man's bolding when he's jammin your plans ova
I am vics clorousos, the most ferocious
When I spy my third eye, it's extremely high voltage
That's why I need ruby corks glasses, cause when I glance at the chest
Then I might blast the masses
Subliminals translated through piano
Integrated in flow, calculated to nano
My IU skills are when I mean plea sees the rhyme I hear as I proceed through time
I walk through the walls and the inanimate obstacles
While educed to the reduction of cells and molecules
I bring the knowledge the you swallow like the state of hologram
I bot your head, fat your lip like collagen
A telepath of the another verse with no postage
Mike Shinoda, we are high voltage

High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin you up and takin you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rythm and rhyme collide
High voltage
This is the unforgettable sound
High voltage
Bringin you up and takin' you down
High voltage
Comin at you from every side
High voltage
Making the rythm and rhyme collide

By_Myslf

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 can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily fa?ade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (Myself)

Pre chorus:
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself

Chorus:
I cant look around
Its too much to take in
I cant hold on
When im strech so thin
I cant slow down
watching everything spin
I cant look past
its starting over again

If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me 'till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
(By myself)

Pre chorus:
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself

Chorus:
I cant look around
Its too much to take in
I cant hold on
When im strech so thin
I cant slow down
watching everything spin
I cant look past
its starting over again

Dont you know
I cant tell you how to make it go
No mater what I do how hard I try
I cant seem to convince myself why
Im stuck on the outside
(6x)

Frgt/10

we're stuck in a place so dark, you could 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
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 it's dark again

from the top to the bottom
bottom to top i stop
at the core, i'm forgotten
in the middle of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the picture's there
the memory won't escape me
by why should i care

in the memory you'll 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 rock that's all around
watchin the wheels of cars that pass i look past
to the last of the light and the long shadows it casts
a window grows and 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 rocks with antennas on top
now, nothing can stop in this land of the pain
the same 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 anybody's name
the memories i keep are from a time like then
i put on my paper so i could come back to them
someday i'm hopin to close my eyes and pretend
that this crumpled up paper can be perfect again

from the top to the bottom
bottom to top i stop
at the core, i'm forgotten
in the middle of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the picture's there
the memory won't escape me

i'm here at the podium talking, the ceremonial offerings
dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring
what's happened? city governments are eternally napping
trapped in greedy covenants, causin urban collapsing
bullets that scar souls, with dark holds, get more than your car stole
some hearts be blacker than charcoal
for real, this society's deprivation depends
not on our differences, but the separation within
no preparation is made, limited age, minimum wage
livin in a tenement cage for innocent pay
tragedy within a parade,
the darkness overspread like permanent plauge,
i'm forgotten

in the memory you'll find me
eyes burning up
the darkness holding me tightly
until the sun rises up...

-Shinoda
One thing, I dont why. it dosnt even matter how hard you try. keep that in mind, I designed this rhym when i was upsessed with time. all i know, time was just sliping away, and i wathed it count to the end of the day. watched it watch me and the words that i say. they echo in the clock rythem in my maz. i know that i didnt look out below when i watched the time go right out the window. trying to grabhold, tyring not to watch. i waisted it all on the hands of the clock. but in the end, no matter what i pretend the journey is more important then end where it started. and what it ment to me will eventualy be a memory of a time when i tried so hard.

-Cheser
Tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end it dosnt even matter. i had to fall, to lose it all, but in the end, it dosnt even matter.

-Motion Man
Hey yo one thing, i dont know why. it dosnt even matter how hard you try. keep that in mind. i desiged this rym to explain in due time. all i know, i so-socialize like the host of the party and spost shake the need, i contact. party the toe strong allmat. northeast, southwest coast. im staring out the window at the opertunity to mendal. i tried disorda your weak in your system and i defordered. i braught you back into things, like the imagionary man of your dreams. youd always see to mak it worth it. a pig skin, i never nerfed it. you felt lever never pleather real bringing the pleasure. by any means it meams im leaving your teens,. holler for teen magizens, but i tried so hard, and got so far.

-Chester
Tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end it dosnt even matter. i had to fall, to lose it all, but in the end, it dosnt even matter.

-Shinoda
one thing, i dont know how. it dosnt even matter when you look at it now. cuz when designed this rym, i was scared of it all. scared to fall, and hadnt even tried to crall. but i was forced to run, with you mockin me. stoppin me, back stabbing me constantly. remembering all the times you faught with me. watched the clock mount chock full of hip-hoprisy. and now your mouh wishes it could inhail, every single little thing youaid to make things fail. every single word you sputtered to justto get you peace, but it dosnt really matter to me, cuz from the start to the end, no matter what i pretend, the journey is more important in th end where it started. and wha it ment to me will eventuly be a memory of a time when i tried so hard.

-Chester
Tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end it dosnt even matter. i had to fall, to lose it all, but in the end, it dosnt even matter.

1Stp Klosr

I'm about to break...
I cannot take this anymore.
Saying everything I said before.
All the words the make no sense,
I find bliss in ignorance,
The less I hear the less you say,
You'll find that out anyway.

I find the answers aren't so clear.
I wish I could find a way to disappear...
All these thoughts they make no sense,
I find bliss in ignorance,
Nothing seems to go away,
Over and over again...(Over and over again...over and over again...over and over againo...over and over again...)
Just Like Before...
Everything you say to me...and I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe...and I'm about to break!
Everything you say to me...and I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe...And I'm about to BREAK!
These are the places where I can feel
Torn from my body, my flesh it peels...
During this rightly concurring balmy night...
Waiting alone, I cannot resist.
Filling this hate I have never missed.
Raise up my memory, a reason to rip off my face.
Blood is a'pouring...and pouring...and pouring...and pouring...and pouring...and pouring...and pouring...and pouring...and pouring...and pouring...
SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU!
SHUT UP!
(And it's pouring!)
SHUT UP!
(And it's pouring!)
SHUT UP!
(And it's pouring!)
SHUT UP WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU
SHUT UP!
(And it's pouring!)
SHUT UP!
(And it's pouring!)
SHUT UP!
(And it's pouring!)
SHUT UP...I'm about to break!
Everything you say to me...and I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe...and I'm about to break!
Everything you say to me...and I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe...And I'm about to...
Everything you say to me...Takes me one step closer to the Edge...I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe...Cause I'm one step closer to the Edge...and I'm about to break!
Everything you say to me...Takes me one step closer to the Edge...I'm about to break!
I need a little room to breathe...Cause I'm one step closer to the Edge...and I'm about to...

Yo, yo
Forfiet the game, before somebody takes you out of the frame
Put your name to shame, cover up your face
You can't run the race, the pace is too fast, you just won't last
Wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last,
wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last, wont
last, wont last(echo fade)

You love the way, I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride, is broken

You love the things, I say I'll do
The way I hurt myself again, just to get back at you
You take away, when I give in
My life, my pride, is broken

Yo, yo
Forfiet the game, before somebody takes you out of the frame
Put your name to shame, cover up your face
You can't run the race, the pace is too fast, you just won't last
Forfiet the game, before somebody takes you out of the frame
Put your name to shame, cover up your face
You can't run the race, the pace is too fast, you just won't last
Wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last,
wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last, wont last, wont
last(echo fade)

You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You wanna share what you've been through
You like to think you're never wrong
(You like to think you're never wrong)
You have to act like you're someone
(You have to act like you're someone)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You want someone to hurt like you)
You wanna share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)

When I look into your eyes
There's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes
Staring back at me

Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left to watch it all unwhind
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down
Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left to watch it all unwhind
Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down

I've lied
To you
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left to watch it all unwhind)
For sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

I've tried
Like you
To do everything you wanted to
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find, we're outta time, left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

Reverse phsycology's failing miserably
It's so hard to be, left all alone
Telling you is the only chance for me
Theres nothing left but, to turn and face you
When I look into your eyes, there's nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me
Asking why...
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie (why)
The sacrifice is never knowing

Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You're still so blind to me

I wanna be in another place,
I hate when you say you dont understand,
I wanna be in the energy, right with the enemy,
a place for my head.

[Mike]
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 gonna owe it one,
and makes think of how you act to me,
you do favors that rapidly,
you just turn around and start asking me about things
you want back from me, 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, Im sick of the tension,
sick of the hunger, sick of you acting like I oweyou this,
find another place to feed your greed,
while I find a place to rest.

[Chester]
I wanna be in another place,
I hate when you say you dont understand,
I wanna be in the energy, right with the enemy,
a place for my head. I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna

[Zion]

[Chester]
I wanna be in another place,
I hate when you say you dont understand,
I wanna be in the energy, right with the enemy,
a place for my head.
You try to get the best of me, go away, go away, go away,
you try to take the best of me,
go away, you try to take the best of me, go away,
you try to take the best of me, go away,
you try to take the best of me, go away,
you try to take the best of me, go away,
you try to take the best of me, go away,
you try to take the best of me, go away,
you try to take the best of me, go away,
you try to take the best of me.

Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up (when i'm talking to you)
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
I'm about to...
Wasnt that fun, lets try something else
Forty five caliber killa but outta the filla
Dela villa gonna show yall brothers how you not a gorilla
Smooth talking fully automatic weapon concilla
Taste thriller, break thriller, lets hit em' with the bounce filla
Filthy stinkin standin on solid ground
Still be sinkin submerging and the parks
Still be Linkin pluck beef when its starts, fuck what your thinking, its not a mirage
Im in a mother fuckin tractor from out of the garage
With an if through the duck, but its hard to dodge
In the back of that spine where my dogs' lie
Gonna flip it straight up rippin apart ya squad
X to the ecutioner style, cuts and blends
Like a syringe hangin you from each of ya limbs
See me comin through ya party hard
Without no bodyguard
Smoking something stompin on each of ya Tims
Im the B to the L the A the C king
And when it come to planning the thought to keep thinking man

Shut up

[Riff Raff]

Hey Mike, whats up? this is Ron, ya know,

I've been trying to call him,
and he hasnt been returning any message's so if ya

Wth>You

Come on!

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 I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back

It's true, the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm 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)
With you
Ughhhh!

I hit you and you hit me back
And we fall to the floor
The rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
But when things go wrong, I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake
Slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back

(No)
I wont let you control my fate while i'm holding the weight of the world on my concience
(No)
I wont just sit here and wait while you weighin your options
Your makin a fool of me
(No)
You didnt dare to try and say you dont care
And salamly swear not to follow me there
(No)
It aint like me to beg on my knees
Or, please oh baby please
Thats not how i'm doin things
(No)
No i'm not upset, no i'm not angry
I know love is love and love sometimes, it doesnt pay me
(No)
I'm never without you, i'll always be with you
You'll never forget me, i'm keeping you with me
(No)
I wont let you take me to the end of my row
Or keep burning and torching my soul
(No)
No i'm not your puppet
And no, no, no, I wont let you go

No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we've come
I, I can't 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)
Ughhhhh!

PPr:Kut

Why does it feel like night today
Something in heres not right today
Why i am so uptight today
Parnoia's all i got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But i know just what it feels like to
have a voice in the back of my head
Like a face that i hold inside
A face that awakes when i close my eyes
Face that watches everytime i lie
Face that laughs everytime i fall
and watches everything
So i know that when its time to sink or swim
The face inside is hearing me right beneath my skin

[CHORUS]
Its like i'm paranoid looking over my back
Its like a whirlwind inside of my head
Its like i can't stop what im hearing within
Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin

hey yo, here we go again with the pain i feel isn't real but in my mind
But i find myself in places with names, but not faces
My memory races at speeds hundred degrees
My soul (it bleeds?) devil mustve planted the seed
Now it feels like my backs against the wall, i'm taking the fall
Whenever i call nobody's responding at all
But i don't who i could trust they screaming my name
I need somebody to help me out of the flame
all im tryin to do is just master me all i want to do is smoke a blaster beat
but something keeps talking to me consciously
responsibly it keeps haunting me
From dusk till dawn
Everything has something for ya
That voice inside of your head got to projected, Paranoia
cold sweat.
Shining on your face exposing your purpose and if i
ripped off your skin i'd probly find another verse
Its nothin worse than trying to bring yourself up back from the dead
so i advise you listen to that voice in the back of your head

[CHORUS]

the face inside is right beneath your skin [4x]
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me [3x]

Graffiti sky, sky, sky [echo fade]
(I don't think you all ready)

Graffiti decorations under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension still giving me away
The lessons I've forgotten
Inside of all I've learned
Now I find myself in question
(point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(point the finger at me again)

I wanna runaway
(I wanna runaway)
I wanna know the truth
(I wanna know the truth)
I wanna know the answers
(I wanna know the answers)
I wanna shut the door
(And open up my mind)
And open up my mind
(And open up my mind)

Paper bags and angry voices under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension won't seem to go away
All my talk of starting over
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(point the finger at me again)
I'm guilty by association
(point the finger at me again)

Gonna runaway, gonna runaway
Gonna runaway, gonna runaway
Runaway [being scratched over and over again]
(Ya'll not ready)

Hey yo
I dont think ya'll ready for what I'm about to do
Y'all new school dudes ain't even got no clue
How dare you forget about Bam and Zulu
Two urban jazz DJ's they paved the way
Let me spit it to y'all who said I wasn't gonna make it
Everytime I blaze it, ya'll the first to hate it
My team rains supreme and stays strong
Every 2 series son, they scared to put us on
Can't get with the high prince, get off your atis
Too many of y'all is dyin' for us so I gotta blaze it
I'm still reppin BK, Brooklyn D and on
Hell fire and family allienation
Banging hits in the backyard
Out on the episode
I'm a little kid named

This is my December, This is my time of the year
This is my December, This is all so clear

Just wish that I didn�t feel like there was something I missed
Give it all away
Just wish that I didn't feel like there was something I missed
Give it all away

This is my December, This is my snow covered home
This is my December, This is me alone

And I (Just wish that I didn�t feel like there was something I missed)
And I (Take back all the things I said to make you feel like that)
And I (Just wish that I didn�t feel like there was something I missed)
And I (Take back all the things that I said to you)

And I, give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

This is my December, These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending, this is all I need

And I, give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

This is my December, This is my time of the year
This is my December, This is all so clear

Give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to

Crawling in my skin

Crawling in my skin
Without a sense of confidence, confidence, confidence...
Consuming, confusing
Crawling my skin
Without a sense of confidence and i'm convinced that
theres just too much pressure to take
Theres something inside me that pulls beneath the surface

I'm crawling in my skin
(Crawling in my skin)
These wounds they will not heal
(These wounds they will not heal)
Fear is how I fall
(Fear is how I fall)
Confusing, confusing what is real
Confusing what is real...

Theres something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling, I cant seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sence of confidence, and i'm confinced that
theres just too much pressure to take)
I've felt his way before, so insecure...

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort endlesly as pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
Its haunting how I cant seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sence of confidence, and i'm convinced that
theres just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure...

Without a sence of confidence, confidence...
Without a sence of confidence, confidence...
Without a sence of confidence, and i'm convinced that
theres just too much pressure to take
Without a sence of confidence, confidence...
Without a sence of confidence, confidence...
Without a sence of confidence, and i'm convinced that
theres just too much pressure to take
To find myself again, my walls are closing in
(Without a sence of confidence, and i'm convinced that
theres just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure...

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
