Linkin Park - Lockjaw

These days are dark and the nights are cold People acting like they lost their soul And everywhere I go I see another person like me Trying to make it all feel like home Standing on the bridge in teh dark and I'm seeing my breath Trying to make it home without freezing to death And my grandfather's face is stuck in my mind mind and how Seeing him tonight's gonna be the last time I should've brought a jacket Blowing in my hands like it's really gonna stop the chill I buy a cup of coffee with a five dollar bill thinking Laying in that box people look so still At times like these you start thinking Your first breath in and the clock starts ticking I'm not trying to bum anyone out Not trying to be dramatic just thinking out loud I'm just trying to make some sense in my mind Some defense from the cold that I'm feeling outside and for a minute Escape with some rhythm and rhyme and Get away from the grey Just a bit at a time These days are dark and the nights are cold People acting like they lost their soul And everywhere I go I see another person like me Trying to make it all feel like home Someone right now is leaving their apartment Looking down at the street, wondering where there car went Someone in the car sitting at a signal In front of a restaraunt, staring through the window at someone right now with their finger in their teeth Who could use a little floss right across the street there's somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket spent half the rent at a bar getting plastered Now he gotta walk fourteen blocks to work at a shop where he's about to get fired. Someone right now is looking pretty tired Staring at a laptop trying to get inspired Somebody living right across the street She wrote the best things she's written all week but her best friends coughing up blood in the sink Can't even think what happened, feeling so confused And he knows it looks bad but there's nothing he can do I wonder what it's like to be right there in his shoes [Chorus] But no I'm just taking it in Out the window of a hotel bedroom again Tommorrow I'll be gone I don't know when I'll be back But in this world everything can change just like that, Like that These days are dark and the nights are cold People acting like they lost their soul And everybody's trying not to cry trying to get by And trying not to feel out of control And if you look hard enough Sometimes you'll find a place that might just remind you of home But if it doesn't feel like home You can do what I do Just pretend you don't feel so alone
