Linkin Park - By Myself

[Mike Shinoda:] 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 [Mike Shinoda (Chester Bennington):] (myself) I ask why (but in my mind I find) I can't rely on myself (myself) I ask why (but in my mind I find) I can't rely on myself [Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):] 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 [Mike Shinoda:] 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 'til 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 [Mike Shinoda (Chester Bennington):] (myself) I ask why (but in my mind I find) I can't rely on myself (myself) I ask why (but in my mind I find) I can't rely on myself [Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):] 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 [Mike Shinoda:] How do you think I've lost so much? I'm so afraid that 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? [Mike Shinoda (Chester Bennington):] 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 [2x] [Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):] 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 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
