Papercut Why does it
feel like night today? Something in here's not right
today. Why am I so uptight today? Paranoia'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 It's like a face that I
hold inside A face that awakes when I close my eyes A
face watches every time I lie A face that laughs every time
I fall (And watches everything) So I know that when it's
time to sink or swim That the face inside is hearing
me Right underneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid
lookin' over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my
head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's
like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know
I've got a face in me Points out all my mistakes to
me You've got a face on the inside too and Your
paranoia's probably worse I don't know what set me off
first but I know what I can't stand Everybody acts like the
fact of the matter is I can't add up to what you can
but Everybody has a face that they hold inside A face
that awakes when I close my eyes A face watches every time
they lie A face that laughs every time they fall (And
watches everything) So you know that when it's time to sink
or swim That the face inside is watching you too Right
inside your skin
Chorus
The face inside is right
beneath your skin (3x)
The sun goes down I feel the
light betray me (Repeat until end)
Chorus (Repeat until
end)
One Step
Closer I cannot take this anymore I'm
saying everything I've said before All these words they
make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Less I hear the
less you'll say But you'll find that out anyway Just
like before...
Everything you say to me Takes me one
step closer to the edge And 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
I find the answers
aren't so clear 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
shut up when I'm talking to you
With You 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 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 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 matter how far we've come I can't wait to see
tomorrow With you
Points Of
Authority Forfeit the game / Before somebody
else Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to
shame Cover up your face / You can’t run the race The
pace is too fast / You just can’t last
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’ll hurt myself again just to get back at
you You take away when I give in / my life My pride is
broken
You like to think you’re never wrong You want
to act like you’re someone You want someone to hurt like
you You want to share what you’ve been through (You live
what you learn)
Crawling Crawling in
my skin These wounds / they will not heal Fear is how I
fall Confusing what is real
There’s something inside
me that pulls beneath the surface Consuming /
confusing This lack of self control I fear is never
ending Controlling / I can’t seem To find myself
again My walls are closing in [Without a sense of
confidence / I’m convinced there's just too much pressure
to take] I’ve felt this way before So
insecure
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon
me Distracting / reacting Against my will I stand beside
my own reflection It’s haunting how I can’t seem To find
myself again My walls are closing in [Without a sense of
confidence / I’m convinced there's just too much pressure
to take] I’ve felt this way before So insecure...
Runaway Graffiti
decorations Underneath a sky of dust A constant wave of
tension On top of broken trust The lessons that you
taught me I learn were never true Now I find myself in
question They point the finger at me again Guilty by
association You point the finger at me again
Paper
bags and angry voices Under a sky of dust Another wave
of tension Has more than filled me up All my talk of
taking action These words were never true Now I find
myself in question They point the finger at me
again Guilty by association You point the finger at me
again
I wanna run away Never say goodbye I wanna
know the truth Instead of wondering why I wanna know the
answers No more lies I wanna shut the door And open
up my mind
Gonna run away...
By Myself 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 façade but then I
just end up getting hurt again By myself [myself] I ask
why, but in my mind I find I can’t rely on myself
I
can’t hold on To what I want when I’m stretched so
thin It’s all too much to take in I can’t hold on To
anything watching everything spin With thoughts of failure
sinking in
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]
How do you think / I’ve lost so
much I’m so afraid / I’m out of touch How do you expect
/ I will know what to do When all I know / Is what you tell
me to Don’t you know I can’t tell you how to make it
go No matter what I do, how hard I try I can’t seem to
convince myself why I’m stuck on the outside
In The End It
starts with one thing I don't know why It doesn't 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 It's so unreal Didn't look out
below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to
hold on, but didn't 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 doesn't even matter I had to
fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even
matter
One thing, I don't know why It doesn't 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 I'm surprised it got so (far) Things aren't the way
they were before You wouldn't 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
I've put my trust in you Pushed as
far as I can go And for all this There's only one thing
you should know (2x)
Chorus
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 doesn't give light to the moon Assuming the
moon's 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: I'm 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 don't understand (You'll see it's not meant to
be) I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy A
place for my head Maybe someday I'll 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 should've known That you'd 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)
Chorus
Pre chorus (2x)
Forgotten From the
top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core I've
forgotten In the middle of my thoughts Taken far from my
safety The picture is there The memory won't escape
me But why should I care (2x)
There's a place so
dark you can't see the end (Skies cock back) and shock that
which can't defend The rain then sends dripping acidic
questions Forcefully, the power of suggestion Then with
the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust and rotten
dust A spot of light floods the floor And pours over the
rusted world of pretend The eyes ease open and its dark
again
Chorus
Bridge: In the memory you'll
find me Eyes burning up The darkness holding me
tightly Until the sun rises up
Moving all
around Screaming of the ups and downs Pollution
manifested in perpetual sound The wheels go round and the
sunset creeps past the Street lamps, chain-link, and
concrete A little piece of paper with a picture
drawn Floats on down the street till the wind is
gone The memory now is like the picture was then When
the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect
again
Chorus Bridge
Now you got me caught in
the act You bring the thought back I'm telling you
that I see it right through you (7x)
Bridge (2x)
A Cure For The
Itch (Unnamed announcer): Folks, we have a
very special guest for you tonight. I'd like to
introduce... Mr. Hahn! Let's hear it for the great Mr.
Hahn! And now a lesson in rhythm management. Let's
begin... Alright now, wasn't that fun? Let's try
something else.
Pushing Me
Away I've lied to you The same way that I
always do This is the last smile That I'll fake for the
sake of being with you
Pre chorus: (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 out of time left to watch it
all unwind) The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I
never walked away Why I played myself this way Now I see
your testing me pushes me away
I've tried like
you To do everything you wanted too This is the last
time I'll take the blame for the sake of being with
you
Pre chorus Chorus (2x)
We're all out of
time, this is how we find how it all unwinds The sacrifice
of hiding in a lie We're all out of time, this is how we
find how it all unwinds The sacrifice is never
knowing
Chorus (2x)
Pushes me away…(2x)
