Lyrics

[Intro: Chester Bennington] It starts with one [Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda] One, then multiplies 'til you can taste the sun And burned by the sky, you try to take it from But if it falls, there's no place to run Crumbling down, it's so unreal They're dealing you in to determine your end And sending you back again to places you've been And bending your will 'til it breaks you within And still, they fill their eyes [Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda] With the twilight through the skylight And the highlights on a frame of steel See the brightness of your likeness As I write this on a pad with the way I feel Hear the screaming in my dreaming As it's seeming that you've played your part Like you're heartless, take apart this In the darkness, but I know that [Chorus: Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda] I've tried so hard, and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter [Verse 2: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda] I've looked down the line And what's there is not what ought to be Held back by the battles they fought for me Calling me to be part of their property And now I see that I get no chance, I get no break Fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes And as the tightrope within slowly starts to thin I can only hope that they close their eyes [Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda] To the twilight through the skylight And the highlights on a frame of steel See the brightness of your likeness As I write this on a pad to the way I feel Hear the screaming in my dreaming As it's seeming that you've played your part Like you're heartless, take apart this In the darkness, but I know that [Chorus: Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda] I've tried so hard, and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter [Bridge: Chester Bennington] 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 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 For all this, there's only one thing you should know [Chorus: Chester Bennington] I tried so hard, and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter
