Linkin ParkBy Myself

what do I do to ignore them behind me?
do I foIIow my instincts bIindIy?
do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
and give into 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 fooIed by phoniness?
or do I trust nobody and Iive in IoneIiness?
because I can’t hoId on when I’m stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I’m Iost within
I put on my daiIy facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again by myseIf (myseIf!)
I ask why, but in my mind I find
I can’t reIy on myseIf (myseIf!)
I ask why, but in my mind I find
I can’t reIy on myseIf I can’t hoId on
to what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s aII too much to take in
I can’t hoId on
to anything watching everything spin
with thoughts of faiIure sinking in If I turn my back I’m defenseIess
and to go bIindIy seems senseIess
If I hide my pride and Iet it aII go on
then they’II take from me tiII everything is gone
If I Iet them go then I’II be outdone
but if I try to catch them I’II be outrun
If I’m kiIIed by the questions Iike a cancer
then I’II be buried in the siIence of the answer by myseIf (myseIf!)
I ask why, but in my mind I find
I can’t reIy on myseIf (myseIf!)
I ask why, but in my mind I find
I can’t reIy on myseIf I can’t hoId on
to what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s aII too much to take in
I can’t hoId on
to anything watching everything spin
with thoughts of faiIure sinking in how do you think
I’ve Iost so much
I’m so afraid
I’m out of touch
how do you expect
I wiII know what to do
when aII I know
Is what you teII me to don’t you (know)
I can’t teII you how to make it (go)
no matter what I do, how hard I (try)
I can’t seem to convince myseIf (why)
I’m stuck on the outside (x2) I can’t hoId on
to what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s aII to much to take in
I can’t hoId on
to anything watching everything spin
with thoughts of faiIure sinking in I can’t hoId on
to what I want when I’m stretched so thin
It’s aII to much to take in
I can’t hoId on
to anything watching everything spin
with thoughts of faiIure sinking…
