1.Nobody's Listening
Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it
The number one question is how could you ignore it
And drop right back in the cut over basement tracks
Rap stack got you back in the sub black
Rewind that we just rolling with the rhythm
Rise from the ashes of stylist division
With these non-stop lyrics of life living
Not to be forgotten but still unforgiving
But in the meantime there are those
who wanna talk this and that
So I suppose that it gets to a point
where feelings gotta get hurt
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening
Called to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest
And everything left's a waste of time
I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else's more
I'm riding on the back of this pressure
Guessing that it's better
I can't keep myself together
Because all of this stress gave me something to write on
The pain gave me something I could set my sights on
Never forget the blood sweat and tears
The uphill struggle over years the fear and
Trash talking and the people it was to
And the people that started it just like you
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening
Called to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat n tears
Nothing to gain
Heart full of pain, head full of stress
Head full of anger, held in my chest
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat n tears
Nothing to gain
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Told you everything loud and clear
But nobody's listening
Called to you so clearly but you don't want to hear me
Told you everything loud and clear
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Nobody's listening
Head full of anger, held in my chest
Nobody's listening
Uphill struggle
Blood sweat n tears
Nobody's listening
Nothing to gain
Everything to fear
Scratching Conclusion (Cu-coming at you from every side)
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress
Heart full of pain, head full of stress
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me
Scratching Conclusion (Cu-coming at you from every side)
2.Don't Stay
Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself
Sometimes I'm in disbelief I didn't know
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
I don't need you anymore, I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day of you wasting me away
I don't need you anymore, I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day of you wasting me away
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Don't stay
Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well
I don't need you anymore, I don't want to be ignored
Don't stay
Don't stay
Don't stay
3.Hit The Floor
There are just too many times
that people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you
And I protect you out of courtesy
To many times that I've held on
when I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind
Afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you've said about me
when I'm not around
You think having the upperhand
means you gotta keep putting me down
But I've had too many stand offs with you
Its about as much as I can stand
One minute you're on top
One minute you're on top
Next, you're not, watch you drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you're on top
Next, you're not, missed a shot
Making your heart stop
You think you've won, and then it's all gone
So many people like me
put so much trust in all your lies
So concerned on what you think
to just say what we feel inside
So many people like me
walk on eggshells all day long
All I know is that all I want is to feel
like I'm not stepped on
There are so many things you say
that make me feel you've crossed the line
What goes up will surely fall
And I'm counting down the time
'Cause I've had so many stand offs with you
It's about as much as I can stand
And then it's all gone
One minute you're on top
Next, you're not, watch you drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you're on top
Next, you're not, missed a shot
Making your heart stop
You think you've won, and then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
Now it's all gone
I know I'll never trust a single thing you say
You knew your lies would divide us,
but you lied anyway
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
But what goes up has got to fall
Next, you're not, watch you drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you're on top
Next, you're not, missed a shot
Making your heart stop
You think you've won, and then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
Now it's all gone
One minute you're on top
And then it's all gone
4.Lying From You
When I pretend,
everything is what I want it be,
I looked exactly like what you always wanted to see
When I pretend,
I can't forget about the criminal I am
Stealing second after second
just cause I know I can, but
I can't pretend
this is they way it will stay, I'm just
(Lying to defend the truth)
I can't pretend I'm who you want me to be so
(I'm lying my way from)
You
(Nah, no turning back now)
I wanna be closed inside so let me go
(Nah, no turning back now)
Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
(No turning back now)
And anywhere on my own, cause I can't see
(Nah, no turning back now)
The very worst part of you
IS ME
I remember what they taught to me,
Remember condescending talk of who it ought to be
Remember listening to all of that and this again
So I pretended up a person who was fitting in
And now you think this person really is me and I
(Trying to defend the truth )
yo, the more I push I'm pulling away cause I'm
(Lying my way from)
You
(Nah, no turning back now)
I wanna be closed inside so let me go
(Nah, no turning back now)
Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
(No turning back now)
And anywhere on my own, cause I can't see
(Nah, no turning back now)
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
IS ME
This isn't what I wanted to be,
I never thought what I said
would have you running from me
LIKE THIS!
This isn't what I wanted to be,
I never thought what I said
would have you running from me
LIKE THIS!
This isn't what I wanted to be,
I never thought what I said
would have you running from me
LIKE THIS!
This isn't what I wanted to be,
I never thought what I said
would have you running from me
LIKE THIS!
You
(Nah, no turning back now)
I wanna be closed inside so let me go
(Nah, no turning back now)
Let me take back my life
I'd rather be all alone
(No turning back now)
And anywhere on my own, cause I can't see
(Nah, no turning back now)
The very worst part of you
The very worst part of you
IS ME
5.Don't Stay
Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I need you to stay away from me
Sometimes I'm in disbelief, I didn't know
Somehow I need you to go
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just take myself back and
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just take myself back and
Don't stay
Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I just feel like strangling you myself
Sometimes I'm in disbelief, I didn't know
Somehow I need to be alone
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just take myself back and
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just take myself back and
Don't stay
I don't need you anymore,
don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day,
of you wasting me away
I don't need you anymore,
I don't want to be ignored
I don't need one more day,
of you wasting me away
With no apologies
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just take myself back and
Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just take myself back and
Don't stay
Don't stay
Don't stay
6.Numb
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
7.Figure.09
Nothing ever stops all these thoughts
And the pain attached to them
Sometimes I wonder why this is happenin' when
It's like nothing I could do would distract me
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
Cause from the infinite words I could say
I put all the pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize instead of setting it free I
Took what I hated and made it apart of me
It Never Goes Away
It Never Goes Away
And Now
You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what I've done
Giving up on part of me
I've let myself become you
Hearing your name
The memories come back again
I remember when it started happenin'
I'd see you in every thought I had and then
My thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away
I was committing myself to 'em
And every day I regret saying those things
Cause now I see that I
Took what I hated and made it apart of me
It Never Goes Away
It Never Goes Away
And Now
You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what I've done
Giving up on part of me
I've let myself become you
It Never Goes Away
It Never Goes Away
It Never Goes Away
It Never Goes Away
GET AWAY FROM ME!
Give me my space back, You've gotta just (GO!)
Everything just comes down to memories of (YOU!)
I've kept it in without letting you (KNOW!)
I've let you go! So..
GET AWAY FROM ME!
Give me my space back, You've gotta just (GO!)
Everything just comes down to memories of (you)
I've kept it in without letting you (KNOW!)
I've let you go!
And Now
You've become a part of me
You'll always be right here
You've become a part of me
You'll always be my fear
I can't separate
Myself from what I've done
Giving up on part of me
I've let myself become you
I've let myself become you
I've let myself become lost
inside these thoughts of you.
Giving up on part of me
I've let myself become you
8.Faint
I am a little bit of loneliness
A little bit of disregard
Handful of complaints
But I help the fact
That everybody can see these scars
I am what I want you to want
What I want you to feel
But its like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
To just believe this is real
So I let go of watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause your all that I've got
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't tell
There's damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I am a little bit insecure
A little unconfident
Cause you don't understand
I do what I can
But sometimes I don't make sense
What you never want to say
But I've never had a doubt
It's like no matter what I do
I can't convince you
For once just to hear me out
So I let go of watching you
Turn your back like you always do
Face away and pretend that I'm not
But I'll be here cause your all that I've got
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't heal
There's damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Now!
Hear me out now
Your gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now!
Hear me out now
Your gonna listen to me like it or not
Right now..
I can't feel
The way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored!!
I can't feel the way I did before
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
Time won't tell
There's damage anymore
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
I can't feel
I won't be ignored
Time won't tell
Don't turn your back on me
I won't be ignored
9.Somewhere I Belong
when this began
i had nothing to say
and i'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
i was confused
and i let it all out to find that i'm
not the only person with these things in mind
inside of me
but all the vacancy the words revealed
is the only real thing that i've got left to feel
nothing to lose
just stuck hollow and alone
and the fault is my own
i want to heal
i want to heal
i want to feel
what i thought was never real
i want to let go of the pain i've held so long
erase all the pain 'til it's gone
i want to heal
i want to feel
like I'm close to something real
i want to find something i've wanted all along
and i've got nothing to say
i can't believe i didn't fall right down on my face
i was confused
looking everywhere only to find that it's
not the way i had imagined it all in my mind
so what am i
what do i have but negativity
'cause i can't justify the
way everyone is looking at me
nothing to lose
nothing to gain hollow and alone
and the fault is my own
i will never know
i want to heal
i want to feel
what i thought was never real
i want to let go of the pain i've held so long
erase all the pain 'til it's gone
i want to heal
i want to feel
like I'm close to something real
i want to find something i've wanted all along
and i've got nothing to say
myself until i do this on my own
and i will never feel
anything else until my wounds are healed
i will never be
anything 'til i break away from me
and i will break away
i want to heal
i want to feel
what i thought was never real
i want to let go of the pain i've held so long
erase all the pain 'til it's gone
i want to heal
i want to feel
like I'm close to something real
i want to find something i've wanted all along
and i've got nothing to say
i want to heal
i want to feel like i'm
somewhere i belong
i want to feel like i'm
somewhere i belong
somewhere i belong
i want to heal
i want to heal
and i've got nothing to say
i will never know
10.From The Inside
I don't know who to trust your surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me
Happy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Tension is building inside steadily
Everyone feels so far away from me
Happy thoughts forcing their way out of me
Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
All I ever think about is this
All the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
I won't waste myself on you
You
You
Waste myself on you
You
I'll take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Everything from the inside and just throw it all away
Cuz I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you
You
You
Tension is building inside steadily
I won't waste myself on you
Everything from the inside and just throw it all away
I'll take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
11.Hit The Floor
There are just too many times
that people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you
and I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I've held on what
I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind afraid
to say what I need to say
Too many things that you said about me
when I'm not around
You think having the upper hand means
you gotta keep putting me down
But I've had too many standoffs with you
it's about as much as I can stand
One minute you're on top
Next you're not watch you drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute you're on top
Next you're not missed a shot
Making you're heart stop
You think you've won
So many people like me put
so much trust in all your lies
So concerned with what you think

So many people like me put
One minute you're on top
I know I'll never trust a single thing you say
One minute you're on top
One minute you're on top
12.Easier To Run
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It's so much easier to go
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see
Wounds so deep they never show they never go away
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It's so much easier to go
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have
Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave I would
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
Just watching in the sun
All of my helplessness inside
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something more
It's so much easier to go
It's easier to run
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made
It's easier to go
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made I would
If I could stand up and take the blame I would
I would take all my shame to the grave
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
It's easier to run
Just watching in the sun
It's easier to run
If I could change I would take back the pain I would
Something has been taken from deep inside of me
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past
It's easier to run
13.Breaking The Habit
Memories consum
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safer in my room
I don't want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
Cultured my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I dont want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'll paint it on the walls
Cuz I'm the one that falls
I'll never fight again
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
I don't know what's worth fighting for
I dont want to be the one
Cultured my cure
I'll paint it on the walls
I don't know what's worth fighting for
I don't know what's worth fighting for
I don't want to be the one
