LINKIN PARK LYRICS

"Pushing Me Away"
album: "Hybrid Theory"
I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown
Eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left
To watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown
Eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end
You'll soon find we're out of time left
To watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
(We're all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(We're all out of time
This is how we find how it all unwinds)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Pushes me away

"My December"
album: "One Step Closer"
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you
Feel like that
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all the
Things I said to you
And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
This is my December
These are my snow covered dreams
This is me pretending
This is all I need
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all
The things I said
To make you feel like that
And I
Just wish that
I didn't feel
Like there was
Something I missed
And I
Take back all the things
I said to you
And I give it all away
Just to have
Somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to
This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
And I give it all away
Just to have somewhere
To go to
Give it all away
To have someone
To come home to

"High Voltage (Remix)"
album: "One Step Closer"
You know what I mean
You could put a label on a life,
Put a label on a lifestyle
Sometimes...
You know
Put a label on how you wake up every morning
And go to bed at night
Hybrid
Iâ?Tve been diggin into crates ever since I was livin in space
Before the ratrace, before monkeys had human traits
I mastered numerology and bigbang theology
Performed lobotomies with telekinetic psychology
Invented the mic so I could start blessin it
Chincheckin kids to make my point like an impressionist
Many men have tried to shake us
But I twist mic cords in double helixes and show them what Iâ?Tm made of
I buckle knees like leg braces
Cast the spell of instrumental-ness and all of you emcees who hate us
So you can try on,
Leave you without a shoulder to cry on
From now to infinity let icons be bygones
I fire bomb ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats but moved on to a promise
I stomp **** with or without an accomplice
And run the gauntlet with whoever that wants this
High Voltage
The unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
Akira, I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfy my rhyme jones
Sprayin bright day over what you might say
My Blood type's Krylon Technicolor type A
On highways ride with road rage
Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Over while the same thing
Sing song karaoke copy bull****
Break bones verbally with sticks and stone tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention
Meant to put you away with the pencil
Pistol, official, 16 line a rhyme missile
While you risk your all, I pick out all your flaws
Spin rah, blah blah blah
You can say you saw
High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
And like the rock and rap
You know what i mean
People act like you know
Wow thatâ?Ts a new invention
That ****s brand new
We're constantly evolving
It is constantly changing
Sometimes...
There's a lot of change
Everybody's always up with labels
There ainâ?Tt no label for this ****
They're always gonna try to put a label on it
Try to create something
So they can water it down
Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood
Under the gun like a new disease
Sometimes I feel like a prophet
Misunderstood
Under the gun like a new disease
High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
High Voltage
The Unforgettable sound
High Voltage
Bringing you up and taking you down
High Voltage
Coming at you from every side
High Voltage
Making the rhythm and rhyme collide
You know what I mean, you can put a label on a lifestyle

"Pts.Of.Athrty"
(feat. Jay Gordon of Orgy)
album: "Reanimation"
Yo, yo
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You canâ?Tt run the race
The pace is too fast
You just wonâ?Tt last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think youâ?Tre never wrong (You like to think youâ?Tre never wrong)
You have to act like youâ?Tre someone (You have to act like youâ?Tre someone)
You want someone to hurt like you (You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what youâ?Tve been through
You live what youâ?Tve learned
You love the things I say Iâ?Tll do
The way Iâ?Tll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think youâ?Tre never wrong (You like to think youâ?Tre never wrong)
You have to act like youâ?Tre someone (You have to act like youâ?Tre someone)
You want someone to hurt like you (You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what youâ?Tve been through
You live what youâ?Tve learned
Yo, yo
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You canâ?Tt run the race
The pace is too fast
You just wonâ?Tt last
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame (frame)
Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
(You) You canâ?Tt run the race
The pace is too fast
You just wonâ?Tt last
You like to think youâ?Tre never wrong (You like to think youâ?Tre never wrong)
You have to act like youâ?Tre someone (You have to act like youâ?Tre someone)
You want someone to hurt like you (You want someone to hurt like you)
You want to share what youâ?Tve been through

"Enth E Nd"
(feat. Kutmasta Kurt, Motion Man)
album: "Reanimation"
Hey, yo
When this first started off
It was just Linkin Park
And then in the middle
Came Motion Man
And at the end of it all
It was Kutmasta Kurt
With a remix
One thing, I donâ?Tt know why
It doesnâ?Tt even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme when I was obsessed with time
All I know, time was just slipping away
And I watched it count down to the end of the day
Watched it watch me and the words that I say
The echo of the clock rhythm in my veins
I know that I didnâ?Tt look out below
And I watched the time go right out the window
Tried to grab hold
Tried not to watch
I wasted it all on the hands of the clock
But in the end, no matter what I pretend
The journey is more important than the end or the start
And what it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesnâ?Tt even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesnâ?Tt even matter
Hey, yo
One thing, I donâ?Tt know why
It doesnâ?Tt even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme to explain in due time
All I know, hah, I so-socialse
Like the host of the party
I spoke, shaked, and made eye-contact
Partied and toasted strong, all that
Northeast, Southwest coast
Iâ?Tm staring out the window
No oppourtunity to mingle
I tried to sew it up to weaken your system
I had you throwing up
I brought you back into things
Like the imaginary man of your dreams
Youâ?Td always seem to make it worth it
I picked skin, I never nursed it
You felt like loving, never played real
Iâ?Tm bringing the pleasure
By any means it means Iâ?Tm leaving your team
Hell of a team, man it seems I tried so hard
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesnâ?Tt even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesnâ?Tt even matter

In the end
Kutmasta Kurt
Remix
One thing, I donâ?Tt know how
It doesnâ?Tt even matter when you look at it now
â?TCause when I designed this rhyme
I was scared of it all, scared to fall, and I hadnâ?Tt even tried to crawl
But I was forced to run with you mocking me, stopping me, backstabbing me constantly
Remembering all the times you fought with me
Watch the clock now chock-full of hipocrisy
But now your mouth wishes it could inhale
Every single little thing you said to make things fail
Every single word you sputtered just to get your piece
But it really doesnâ?Tt matter to me
â?TCause from the start to the end, no matter what I pretend
The journey is more important than the end or the start
And what it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesnâ?Tt even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesnâ?Tt even matter
In the end

"Frgt/10"
(feat. Alchemist, Chali 2na)
album: "Reanimation"
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I?Tve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picturê?Ts there
The memory won?Tt escape me
Wê?Tre stuck in a place so dark
You can hardly see
The manner of matter that splits with the words I breathe
And as the rain drips acidic questions around me
I block out the sight and the powers that be
And duck away into the darkness
Times up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut so tight that it blurs into the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open
And it?Ts dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I?Tve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picturê?Ts there
The memory won?Tt escape me
But why should I care?
In the memory you?Tll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Listen to the sound
Dizzy from the ups and downs
I?Tm nauseated by the polluted rock that?Ts all around
Watching the wheels of cars that pass
I look past to the last of the light and the long shadows it casts
A window grows and captures the eye
And cries out a yellow light as it passes me by
And a young shadowy figure sits in front of a box
Inside a building of rock with anntenaes on top, now
Nothing can stop in this land of the pain
The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game
And while the insides change
The box stays the same and the figure inside could bear anybody?Ts name
The memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I could come back to them
Someday I?Tm hoping to close my eyes and pretend
That this crumpled up paper can be perfect again
Yo, from the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I?Tve forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picturê?Ts there
The memory won?Tt escape me
I?Tm here at this podium talking
The ceremonial offerings dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspinrg
What?Ts happening?
City governments are eternally napping
Trapped in greedy covenants
Causing urban collapse
And bullets that scar souls with dark holds
Get more than your car stole, for real
This society?Ts deprivation depends now on our differences but the separation within
No preparation is made
Limited age and minimum wage
Living in a tenement cage for innocent pay
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspreads like a permenent plague
I?Tm the forgotten
In the memory you?Tll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

"P5hng Me A*wy"
(feat. Mike Shinoda, Stephen Richards)
album: "Reanimation"
When I look into your eyes therê?Ts nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me
Everything has to end
You?Tll soon find that wê?Tre out of time left to watch it all unwind
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never froun eventually break down
Everything has to end
You?Tll soon find wê?Tre out of time left to watch in all unwind
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
I?Tve lied to you
This is the last smile that I?Tll fake for the sake of being with you
Everything falls apart even
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
Everything has to end
You?Tll soon find wê?Tre out of time left to watch it all unwind
The sake of being with you
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You?Tre still so blind to me
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
I?Tve tried, like you, to do everything you wanted to
This is the last time
That I?Tll take the blame for the sake of being with you
Everything falls apart
Even the people who never frown eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end
You?Tll soon find wê?Tre out of time left to watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I stay with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You?Tre still so blind to me
Reverse psychology is failing miserably
It?Ts so hard to be left all alone
Telling you is the only chance for me
There is nothing left but to turn and face you
When I look into your eyes therê?Ts nothing there to see
Nothing but my own mistakes staring back at me
Asking why
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You?Tre still so blind to me
Why I stayed with you
Just push away
No matter what you see
You?Tre still so blind to me

"Plc.4 Mie Haed"
(feat. Amp Live, Zion of Zion I)
album: "Reanimation"
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don?Tt understand
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
But the sun doesn?Tt give the light to the moon assuming the moon?Ts going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favours then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about things that you want back from me
I?Tm so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I?Tm so sick of the tension
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don?Tt understand
You?Tll see it?Ts not meant to be
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don?Tt understand
You?Tll see it?Ts not meant to be
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
Two, two, three, three
Yo, yo, yo
Give me Energon to keep me calm
You and your mom keep all the dram
Used to be a team, passed that baton
But you flop that bomb as you drop that bomb
Take it to the john in your babylon
Flushed down with the sound that you carry on
I don?Tt really give a dang
You p****d on my lawn
Took a dump like a punk
Now the battlê?Ts on
So sick of you stressing
Sick of you fessing
Sick of you acting like I owe you some
Find another place
To feed your face
If you don?Tt, we gon?T bump
Get it up here, crunk
So sick of you stressing
Sick of you fessing
Sick of you acting like I owe you some
Find another place to feed your face
If you don?Tt, we gon?T bump
Get it up here, crunk
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don?Tt understand
You?Tll see it?Ts not meant to be
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don?Tt understand
You?Tll see it?Ts not meant to be
I want to be in the energy
Not with the enemy
A place for my head
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me
You try to take the best
Go, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me (get away from me), go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
Get away from me

"X-Ecutioner Style"
(feat. Black Thought)
album: "Reanimation"
From the top
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up when Iâ?Tm talking to you
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Iâ?Tm about to brâ?"
Wasnâ?Tt that fun?
Letâ?Ts try something else
Forty-five calibre killer from out of the filler
Definitely going to show yâ?Tall brothers how you not a gorilla
Smooth talking, fully automatic weapon concealer
Taste thriller, break thriller
Letâ?Ts hit â?Tem with the bounce filler
Filthy stinking, standing on solid ground
And still be sinking, submerging in the parks
Still be linking, plucked beef when it starts
To f**k your thinking, itâ?Ts not a mirage
Iâ?Tm in the motherf**king track, yo, from out the garage
With an if, you to duck, but itâ?Ts hard to dodge
In the back of the spine where my dawgs, they lie
Going to flip it straight up, ripping apart your squad
X-ecutioner style, cuts and blends like a syringe
Hanging you from each of your limbs
See me coming through the party hard without no bodyguard
Smoking something, stomping on each of you Tims
Iâ?Tm the B-to-the-L, the A, the C, King
And when it comes to planning
The thought to keep thinking, man
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up
Shut up

Ghostly notes haunt this
I tried threats but moved onto a promise
I stomp s**t with or without an accomplice

This is the unforgettable sound

Akira
I put a kink in the backbones of clones with microphones
Never satisfied my rhyme jones
Spraying bright day over what you might say

On highways, right with road-rage
Cages of wind and cages of tin that bounce all around
Surround sound
Devouring the scene
Subliminal gangrene paintings
Overall the same things
Sing songs, karaoke, copy, bulls**t
Break bones verbally with sticks-and-stones tactics
Fourth dimension, combat convention
Write rhymes at ease while the track stands at attention
Meant to put you away
With the pencil, pistol, official, sixteen-line-a-rhyme missile

Whô?Ts the man demanding you hand over your Land Rover?
No man?Ts bolder than the Pharoahe when he jams
The plan?Ts over
I have fake sclerosis
The most ferocious
Why I spy, my third eye, distinctly high voltage
That?Ts why I need Ruby Quartz glasses
?TCause when I glance therê?Ts a chance I might blast the masses
Subliminals trasmitted through piano
Integrated in flow
Calculated to nano
I use skills when I need
Please head the rhyme I hear when I plead when I proceed through time
I walk through walls an inanimate obsticles
Via induced reduction of cells and molecules
I bring the knowledge
You swallow the state
That?Ts a hologram
I box your head
Fatten your lip like Collogen
A telepath to deliver verses with no postage
