[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
