Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (Full Album)

Back of my head Like a face that I hold inside A face that awakes when I close my eyes A face that I watch every time I lie A face that laughs every time I fucking imagine everything Y'all know that when it's time to sink or swim That the face inside is hearing me right beneath my skin It's like a paranoid working over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin I know I got a face in me

On the inside too Your paranoia's probably worse I don't know what set me off first But I know what I can't stand Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is I can't add up to what you can But everybody has a face that they hold inside A face that awaits when I close my eyes A face that watches every time they lie A face that laughs every time

It's watching you too, right inside your skin It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath the skin It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is

Can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like a faint dissatisfaction beneath the skin It's like a paranoid looking over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within

I cannot take this anymore Saying everything I've said before All these words, they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Less I hear, the less you say You'll find that out anyway Just like before Everything you say to me

I find the answers aren't so clear Wish I could find a way to disappear All these thoughts, they make no sense I found bliss in ignorance Nothing seems to go away

I need a little room to breathe Cause I'm one step closer to the edge I'm about to break everything you say to me Cause I'm one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I need a little room to breathe Cause I'm one step closer to the edge And I'm about to

And I'm about to break

to the cold of the static put my cold feet on the floor got up about yesterday remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore a little taste of hypocrisy and I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react even though you're so close to me you're still so distant and I can't bring you back it's true the way I feel

I hate you and you hit me back We fall to the floor, the rest of the day stands still I'm between this and that When things go wrong, I pretend that the past isn't real I'm trapped in this memory And I'm left in the wake of the mistakes, slow to react Don't even know you're close to me You're still so distant, I can't bring you back It's true

The sound of your voice Raising up my memories Even if you're not with me I'm with you You, now I see Keeping everything inside With you You, now I see Even when I close my eyes With you You, now I see

No matter how far we've come I can't wait to see tomorrow No matter how far we've come I, I can't wait to see tomorrow

Forfeit the game before somebody else takes you out of the frame And put your name to shame, cover up your face You can't run the race, the pace is too fast, it just won't last

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 have to think you're never wrong.

You live what you've learned.

You have to act like you're someone.

You live what you've learned.

I say I do The way I

You live what you blow You wanna share what you've been through You live what you blow Forfeit the game before somebody else takes you out of the frame Put your name to shame, cover up your face You can't run the race, the pace is too fast You just won't last Forfeit the game before somebody else takes you out of the frame Put your name to shame, cover up your face You can't run the race, the pace is too fast You just won't last You like to think you're never wrong

You live what you've learned You want to share what you've been through You live what you've learned You have to think your level Don't think the game You live what you've learned You have to act like you're someone Don't think the game You live what you've learned You want someone to hurt like you Don't think the game You live what you've learned You want to share what you've been through You live what you've learned

Using this lack of self-control I fear is never ending Controlling, I can't seem to find myself again My walls are closing in Not a sense of confidence, I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take I've felt this way before, so insecure

They will die, oh Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me Distracting, reacting Against my will I stand beside my own reflection

It's haunting how I can't seem to find myself again.

My walls are closing in.

Not a sense of confidence.

I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take.

I've felt this way before.

So insecure.

Fear is how I fall Confusing all is real Crawling in my skin These wounds, they will bite you Fear is how I fall

Thanks for watching!

Graffiti decorations under a sky of dust A constant wave of tension on top of broken trust The lessons that you taught me I learned were never true Now I find myself in question Guilty by association

Instead of wondering why I wanna know the answers No more lies I wanna shut the door

Under a sky of dust Another wave of tension Has more than filled me up On my talk of taking action These words were never true Now I find myself in question

I wanna shut the door and open up my mind I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye Gonna run away, gonna run away

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?

But then I just end up getting hurt again by myself I ask why I can't rely on myself I ask why I can't rely on myself I can't hold on to what I want when it's just a thing

The thoughts I'm failure seeking 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

In the silence of the answer by myself I ask why I can't rely on myself I ask why I can't rely on myself I can't hold on It's all too much to take in I can't hold on With thoughts of failure sinking

I've lost so much I'm so afraid 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 Don't you I can't tell you how to make it No matter what I do, how hard I I can't seem to convince myself I'm stuck on the outside Don't you I can't tell you

Check out the outside I can't hold on

Thank you.

It starts with one thing.

I don't know why.

It doesn't even matter how hard you try.

Keep that in mind.

I'm resigned to try to explain in due time.

All I know.

Time is a valuable thing.

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings.

Watch it count down to the end of the day.

The clock ticks life away.

It's so unreal.

Didn't look out the low.

Watch the time go right out the window.

Trying to hold on.

Didn't

Even though I wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried It all fell apart What it meant to be will eventually be a memory of a time I tried so hard

I don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to remind myself how I tried So hard, in spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I'm surprised it got so hard Things aren't the way they were before You wouldn't even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then, but it all comes back to me in the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter, I had to fall to the ground

I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There's only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go

It doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter

Watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night Shining with the light from the sun The sun doesn't give light to the moon Assuming the moon's gonna owe it one It makes me think of how you act for me You do favors there rapidly You just turn around and start asking me About things that you want back from me I'm 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 wanna be in another place I hate when you say you don't understand

I remember back then who you were You used to be calm, used to be strong Used to be generous but you should have known That you wear out your welcome And now you see how quiet it is all alone I'm 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'm 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 wanna be in another place I hate when you say you don't understand

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.

The place I hate when you say you don't understand

From the top to the bottom, bottom to top I stop At the core I forgot, in the middle of my thoughts Takin' thought from my safety, the picture's there The memory won't escape me, but why should I care?

From the top to the bottom, bottom to top I stop At the core I forgot, in the middle of my thoughts Takin' thought from my safety, the picture's there

The picture's there From everyone escape me But why should I care?

There's a place so dark you can't see the end The sky's cocked back And shocked at what you can't defend The rain then sends dripping Acidic questions Forcefully The power of suggestion Then with the eyes shut Looking through the rust and rotten dust A small spot of light floods the floor And pours over the rusted world of pretend And the eyes ease open And it's dark again From the top to the bottom Out of the top I stop At the core I've forgotten In the middle of my thoughts Taking fire from my safety The picture's there From everyone escape me But why should I care?

In the memory you'll find me As burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up

We're moving all around Screaming of the ups and downs Pollution manifested in perpetual sound The wheels go round And the sunset creeps behind street lamps Chain link and concrete A little piece of paper with a picture drawn Floats on down the street Till the wind is gone And the memory now is like the picture was then

And when the paper's crumpled up, it can't be perfect again From the top to the bottom, bottom to top I stop At the core I've forgotten, in the middle of my thoughts Taking fire from my safety, the picture's there The memory won't escape me, but why should I care?

From the top to the bottom, bottom to top I stop At the core I've forgotten, in the middle of my thoughts Taking fire from my safety, the picture's there The memory won't escape me, but why should I care?

And the memory

The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun Rises up Now you got me caught in the act You bring the thought back Telling you that I see it right through you Now you got me caught in the act You bring the thought back Telling you that I see it right through you Now you got me caught in the act You bring the thought back Telling you that I see it right through you Now you got me caught in the act You bring the thought back Telling you that I see it right through you

Telling you that I see it right through you Now you got me caught in the act, you bring it on back Telling you that I see it right through you In the memory you'll find me As burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up

In the memory, you will find me As burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up Folks, we have a very special guest for you tonight

I'd like to introduce

Let's begin.

Alright now, wasn't that fun?

Let's try something else.

Thanks for watching!

This is the last smile That I'll fake for the sake of being with you They fall apart, even the people who never frown Eventually break down The sacrifice of partying alone Everything has to end to survive We're out of time, we have to watch it all unwind The sacrifice is mine

Now I see, you're testing me, pushes me away I've tried, like you, to do everything you wanted to

This is the last time I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you The sacrifice of partying in the light The sacrifice is never known

Check it out.

The song's called High Voltage.

I've been digging in the grids ever since I was living in space Before the rat race, before monkeys had human traits I mastered numerology and big bang theology From full of bottomies with telekinetic psychology Getting a mic so I can start blessing it Ten checking kids to make my point like an impressionist Many men have tried to shake us But I twist my cords to double helixes And show you what I'm made of I buckle knees like leg braces

That's the spell of instrumentalists on all of these NC suits.

So you can try on.

Maybe without a shoulder to cry on.

From now to infinity, let icons be bygone.

I fire our ghostly notes on this.

I try threats, but we'll come to a promise.

I'll stop shit with or without an accomplice.

Run the gauntlet with whoever they want.

It's high voltage.

I put a kick in the backbones of clones With microphones, never satisfied my rhymes Jones, sprayin' bright day over what you might think My blood types Krylon, Technicolor type A On highways, ride with road rage Pages of wind in cages of tin that bounce all around Surround town, devouring the sea Subliminal gang repaintings over what I'll say

So I carry every thumpy bullshit Red Bulls, I believe in sticks and stone tactics One dimension, combat convention Rhyme, rhyme, values will attract stands and attention Then to put you away with a pencil Pistol official, 16-9 the rhyme missile While you risk it all, I'll pick out all your flaws Spittin' raw, blah, blah, blah, you can say you saw High voltage, this is the unforgettable sky High voltage, breakin' you up and takin' you down High voltage, goin' at you forever

Sometimes, sometimes...

Sometimes.

Sabotage!

Unforgettable sound Breaking you up and taking you down Coming at you from every side Making a rhythm around the vibe This is the unforgettable sound Breaking you up and taking you down Coming at you from every side Yo everybody let's see your hands up like this This is the unforgettable sound Breaking you up and taking you down Coming at you from every side

Thank you guys very much

This is my December This is my time of the year This is my December This is all so clear

Just to have somewhere to go to

This is my December This is my time of the year This is my December This is all so clear Get it all away Just two hours away

Just to ask someone

Four-fifth the game before somebody else takes you out of the frame And put your name to shame, cover up your face You can't run the race, the pace is too fast

Takes you out of the frame And put your name to shame Cover up your face You can't run the race The pace is too fast You just won't last

Blast!

All right.

You guys look good tonight.

It's good to see you guys.

Some of you seeing you once again.

Some of you seeing them for the first time.

How many people out here consider themselves a hardcore Linkin Park fan?

Yeah?

That's fantastic.

Thank you guys very much for your support.

We love you too.

We have anybody out here who's been down with Linkin Park since Hybrid Theory?

Hell yeah!

You guys keep those hands up!

Yeah, why does it feel like night today?

Something inside's not right today.

Why am I so uptight today?

Paranoia's all I got left.

I don't know what stressed me first, how the pressure was fed.

But I know just what it feels like to have a voice in the back of my head.

It's like a face in a hole in my face and a wig so I close my eyes.

Face it once every time they, face it last every time they fall.

And what you said from that?

So you know that when it's time to sink or swim, that the face inside is here and

But I'm living with it It's like a face inside you

The face in me points out all my mistakes in me You've got a face on the inside too, your paranoia's probably worse I don't know what set me off first, but I know what I can't stand Can't catch the fact that the matter is I can't add up to what you can But everybody has a face they ain't holdin' Face it, it makes me close that face you watch every time they Face the last stage how they fall So you know that when it's time to sink or swim That the face inside is watching you too

It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is wrapped beneath his skin It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within

Stop what I'm hearing within It's like your face inside is right beneath my skin Your face inside is right beneath your skin Your face inside is right beneath your skin Your face inside is right beneath your skin

Looking over my back, it's like a whirlwind inside of my head.

It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing with it.

It's like that face inside is running.

It's like a paranoid looking over my back.

It's like a whirlwind inside of my head.

It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing with it.

It's like I can't stop.

Check this out!
