Lyrics

[Intro: Mike Shinoda] Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light Thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go [Chorus: Mike Shinoda] I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I wanna do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got [Verse 1] It's something for your people on the block to black out and rock to Give me what you need like Poppa, who shot you? "Separate the weak from the obsolete" You're meek, I creep hard on impostors And switch styles on a dime, quick-witted Y'all quit trippin', I don't have time for your cryin' I grind tough, sucker, makе your mind up Are you in the firin' squad or are you in thе lineup? Bang, bang, little monkey man, playin' with the big guns Only get you slain, I ain't playin', I'm just sayin' You ain't got a sliver of a chance I get iller, I deliver while you quiver in your pants So shake, shake down, money, here's the breakdown You can play the bank, I'mma play the bank takedown And no mistakes now, I'm comin' to get you I'm just a Banksy, you're a brainwash Get the picture? It's like that Waiting For The End [Refrain: Mike Shinoda] This is not the end, this is not the beginnin' Just a voice like a riot rockin' every revision But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm And though the words sound steady, somethin' empty's within 'em We say, "Yeah," with fists flyin' up in the air Like we're holdin' onto somethin' that's invisible there 'Cause we're livin' at the mercy of the pain and the fear Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear (Yeah) [Verse 2: Sydney Sierota] Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light Thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go [Chorus: Steven McKellar & Sydney Sierota] (Oh, oh-oh) I know what it takes to move on (Oh, oh-oh) I know how it feels to lie (Oh) All I wanna do is trade this life for something new (Oh) Holding on to what I haven't got [Verse 3: Sydney Sierota & Mike Shinoda] Sitting in an empty room Tryin' to forget the past This was never meant to last I wish it wasn't so [Chorus: Steven McKellar & Sydney Sierota] (Oh, oh-oh) I know what it takes to move on (Oh, oh-oh) I know how it feels to lie (Oh) All I wanna do is trade this life for something new (Oh) Holding on to what I haven't got [Bridge: Mike Shinoda & Sydney Sierota] Yo, yo What was left when that fire was gone? I thought it felt right, but that right was wrong All caught up in the eye of the storm And tryin' to figure out what it's like movin' on And I don't even know what kind of things I said My mouth kept movin' and my mind went dead So I'm pickin' up the pieces now, where to begin The hardest part of endin' is startin' again (Oh-oh) [Chorus: Steven McKellar & Sydney Sierota] All, all, a-a-a-a-all All I wanna do is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got [Refrain: Mike Shinoda, Steven McKellar & Sydney Sierot] This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rockin' every revision I'm holding on to what I haven't got But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm Though the words sound steady, somethin' empty's within 'em Yeah We say, "Yeah," with fists flyin' up in the air Like we're holdin' onto somethin' that's invisible there I'm holding on to what I haven't got 'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear [Outro: Sydney Sierot] I'm holding on to what I haven't got I'm holding on to what I haven't got I'm holding on to what I haven't got I'm holding on to what I haven't got
