[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
