[Intro: Eminem]
I can feel the heat rising, everything is on fire
Today's a painful reminder of why
It can only get brighter,the further you put it behind ya
But right now I'm on the inside lookin' out, ‘cause
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
Walking in the building
Everybody still asking how I'm feeling
Have I felt like I finally caught a rhythm
Now I know what kind of answer I should give them
But I say I'm just trying to know where the next step is
Looking for the "go" where the "ready, set" is
Tryna find a beat I can get in step with
I'm just tryna breathe, let me get a breath in
Yes I know, we can't all follow where I plan to go
All I want is faith in the path I chose
All I want is faith in the path I chose
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I used to be my own protection, but not now
'Cause my path has lost direction, somehow
[Bridge: Eminem]
As time passes, things change every day
But wounds, wounds heal but scars still remaining the same
But tomorrow, today's going down in flames
Throw the match, set the past ablaze
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
I was on a high for a minute
Feeling just right, just fine for a minute
And then my vibe could turn on its side in a minute
The second I asked you if you had my back
And in your hesitation, betrayed, you did not
I asked you for confidence you haven't got
Heartbreakin', you basically end and you find
There was no way to take it but anger-inspired
So there you go
All I want is faith in the path I chose
All I'm getting back is an "I don't know"
Standing in the flames as the fire grows
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I used to be my own protection, but not now
'Cause my path has lost direction, somehow
A black wind took you away from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
[Verse 3: Eminem]
'Cause you're familiarized with what having to swallow this pill is like
It happens all the time, they take your heart and steal your life
And it's as though you feel you've died, 'cause you've been killed inside
But yet you're still alive, which means you will survive
Although today you may weep ‘cause you're weak and
Everything seems so bleak and hopeless, the light that you're seekin'
It begins to seep in, that's the only thing keepin'
You from leapin' off the motherfreakin' deep end
And I'm pullin' for you to push through this feeling
And with a little time that should do the healing and by tomorrow
You may even feel so good that you're willing to forgive 'em
Even after all the shit you've been put through, this feeling of resilience is building
And the flames are burnin' quick as fire would (firewood) through this building
You're sealed in, but you're fireproof, flame retardant, you withstood it
And as you climb up to the roof, you're just chillin', you look down, ‘cause you're so over 'em
You could put the heel of your foot through the ceiling
As time passes, things change every day
But wounds, wounds heal but scars still remaining the same
But tomorrow, today's going down in flames
Throw the match, set the past ablaze
So feel the fire beneath your feet as you barely even
Perspire from the heat, exhale deep and breathe a sigh of relief
And as you say goodbye to the grief, it's like watching the walls melt
In your prison cell, but you've extinguished this livin' hell
Still, a little piece of you dies as you scream—
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I used to be my own protection, but not now
'Cause my path has lost direction, somehow
A black wind took you away from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
[Outro: Eminem]
I can feel the heat rising, everything is on fire
Today's a painful reminder...

HOW WE FALL APART

[Intro]
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
[Verse 1: Eminem]
I've been praised and labeled as crazed
My mother was unable to raise me, full of crazy rage
An angry teenager, nothing can change me back
Gangsta rap made me act like a maniac
I was boosting, so influenced by music I used it
As an excuse to do shit, ooh I was stupid
No one can tell me nothing hip-hop overwhelmed me
To the point where it had me in a whole 'nother realm
It was like isolating myself was healthy
It felt like we was on welfare but wealthy
Compelled me to excel when school had failed me
Expelled me and when the principal would tell me
I was nothing, and I wouldn't amount to shit
I made my first million and counted it
Now look at, a fucking drop-out that quit
Stupid as shit, rich as fuck, and proud of it
[Chorus: Oli Sykes & Mike Shinoda]
And if you hear me, guess you know how it feels - to be alone
So how'd we get this stressed out, paranoid?
Everything is going dark
Nothing makes me sadder than my head
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
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 am not the fortune and the fame
Nor the same person telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain
And I found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems
And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me
Rockin' every stage in every place that it brought me
I'm awfully underrated, but came here to correct it
And so it ain't mistaken I'ma state it for the record
I am the opposite of wack, opposite of weak
Opposite of slack, synonym of heat
Synonym of crack, closest to a peak
Far from a punk
Ya'll ought to stop talking, start trying to catch up motherfucker
[Chorus: Oli Sykes & Mike Shinoda]
And if you hear me, guess you know how it feels - to be alone
So how'd we get this stressed out, paranoid?
Everything is going dark
Nothing makes me sadder than my head
[Bridge: Oli Sykes & Mike Shinoda]
The emptiness is heavier than you think
The emptiness is heavier than you think
[Chorus: Oli Sykes & Mike Shinoda]
And if you hear me, guess you know how it feels - to be alone
So how'd we get this stressed out, paranoid?
Everything is going dark
Nothing makes me sadder than my head
[Outro: Oli Sykes & Mike Shinoda]
The emptiness is heavier than you think
The emptiness is heavier than you think

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
I'm tired of the fear that I can't control this
I'm tired of feeling like every next step's hopeless
'Cause I'm tired of being scared what I build might break apart
I'm tired of feeling like every next step's hopeless
Did somebody else define me?
Can I put the past behind me?
Do I even have a decision
Feeling like I'm living in a story already written
Am I part of a vision made by somebody else?
Pointing fingers at villains but I'm the villain myself
Or am I out of conviction with no wind in the sail?
Too focused on the end and simply ready to fail
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Alone again, you try to disappear
And hold it in, pretending not to hear
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
This voice without a sound
Voice that tears you down
This voice without a sound
Voice that tears you down
[Refrain: Chester Bennington]
This voice without a sound
[Verse 2: Eminem]
Lately I really, feel like I'm rolling Delph for like Philly
I feel like I'm losing control of myself, I sincerely
Apologize if all that I sound like, is I'm complaining
But life keeps on complicating and I'm debating
On leaving this world, this evening, even my girls
Can see I'm grievin', I try and hide it
But I can't, why do I act like I'm all high and mighty
When inside, I'm dying, I am finally realizing I need help
I can't do it by myself
Too weak, 2 weeks I've been having ups and downs
Going through peaks and valleys, dilly dallying
Around with the idea of ending the shit right here
I'm hatin' my reflection, I walk around the house tryin' to fight mirrors
I can't stand what I look like, yeah, I look fat, but what do I care?
I give a fuck, only thing I fear is Hailie
I'm afraid if I close my eyes I might see her
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Alone again, you try to disappear
And hold it in, pretending not to hear
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
This voice without a sound
Voice that tears you down
This voice without a sound
Voice that tears you down
[Refrain: Chester Bennington]
This voice without a sound
This voice without a sound
This voice without a sound
This voice without a sound

[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
Don't you hold your breath
Cause I'm not coming down
The battlefields have left me only scars
I'm floating in the dark
I'm swimming in the sound
Of voices that should never been apart
[Pre-Chorus: Jesse Rutherford & Chester Bennington]
Running in place
(Circles, in circles with you)
Don't mind me
Out in the rain
Don't let me go
[Chorus: Jesse Rutherford]
I don't wanna let you down
So promise you won't let me drown
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
With venom on their tongues, they paint it on the walls
Where justice doesn't have the strength to hold
The higher that they climb, the harder they will fall
And we will break their bones until they fall
[Pre-Chorus: Jesse Rutherford]
Running in place
(Circles, in circles with you)
Don't mind me
Out in the rain
Watch me go
[Chorus: Jesse Rutherford]
I don't wanna let you down
So promise you won't let me drown
[Bridge: Eminem]
And from here you look so small
Hovering high above us all
Please come back to me
[Verse 3: Eminem]
So a martyr is how I paint myself
And through my harrowin' ordeals I’m so vain I want my respect
But ignore the butterfly effect that comes from my dialect
'Til I sit in the dark and I reflect
And my reflection shows what it's like here
'Cause this vanity, surrounded by all these lights
Yeah, it's like a nightmare
I said, this vanity surrounded by these lights is a night mirror
And I don't like how I see myself, so I open the Bible to Isaiah
'Cause I swear to Christ there are nights when I stay up and might
Say a prayer twice just to make sure God hears
'Cause this ice layer I skate on's a nice way of putting it
But I like stayin' feistier than a triceratops and like a dice player
I got a nice paradise here, sealed off in my lair
Away from the bullshit good safe place to sit and talk shit from
And this house, is quite bare, but it ain't when you can't leave it
And I feel so isolated, it's nice I made it
But it's like I paid the price of fame twice, I hate it
So I bitch about my life then make another song
Vicious cycle ain't it, then wonder why I stay famous
I keep walkin' the line, this goldfish bowl gets old
But especially when you don’t know
If your conscience is sayin' I told you so
'Cause you don't even know anymore
If you got the soul of a soldier, or you sold your soul
[Pre-Chorus: Jesse Rutherford]
Running in place
(Circles, in circles with you)
Don't mind me
Out in the rain
Don't let me go
[Chorus: Jesse Rutherford & Chester Bennington]
I don't wanna let you down
So promise you won't let me drown
[Refrain]
Promise you won't let me drown
