01 – From Zero Intro
[Skit: Mike Shinoda]
From Zero? (Yeah)
Like from nothing?
Oh, wait, your fir—
02 – The Emptiness Machine
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
Your blades are sharpened with precision
Flashing your favorite point of view
I know you’re waiting in the distance
Just like you always do, just like you always do
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Already pulling me in
Already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, I
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don’t know why I’m hopin’ for what I won’t receive
Fallin’ for the promise of the emptiness machine
The emptiness machine
[Verse 2: Emily Armstrong, Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
Goin’ around like a revolver
It’s been decided how we lose
‘Cause there’s a fire under the altar
I keep on lyin’ to, I keep on lyin’ to
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Already pulling me in
Already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, I
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don’t know why I’m hopin’ for what I won’t receive
Fallin’ for the promise of the emptiness machine
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
I let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don’t know why I’m hopin’, so fuckin’ naive
Fallin’ for the promise of the emptiness machine
The emptiness machine
[Outro: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
(I only wanted to be part of something)
The emptiness machine, oh
(I only wanted to be part of)
The emptiness machine
03 – Cut The Bridge
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
You’re too ignorant to fail, I can’t look you in the eye
And I can’t even tell if you’ve been tellin’ me a lie
Every time you start it’s like the fourth day of July
Reckless like you’re makin’ rockets just to blow up in the sky
Feelin’ like it’s chemical, all under my skin like it’s medical
Stuck on repetitions that are only hypothetical
Actin’ like the truth and your opinion are identical
And I can’t seem to let it go
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Everything was perfect
Always made me nervous
Knowing you would burn it
Just to watch it burn
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Linkin Park except Emily]
Cut the bridge we’re on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Goin’ ’til it’s gone
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Sabotage it all
Just to watch it fall
Cut the bridge we’re on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
I’m too gullible to win, I don’t have a way to choose
Grew up thinkin’ tryin’ meant you never really lose
Didn’t put the powder in the keg, and when it blew
I was sittin’ on the dynamite for you to light the fuse
Oh, lookin’ like a criminal, sneakin’ in the dark, you’re invisible
Hidden, you’re wrapped around my neck just like a tentacle
Actin’ like the truth and your opinion are identical
And I can’t seem to let it go
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Everything was perfect
Always made me nervous
Knowing you would burn it
Just to watch it burn
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Linkin Park except Emily]
Cut the bridge we’re on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Goin’ ’til it’s gone
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Sabotage it all
Just to watch it fall
Cut the bridge we’re on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Somethin’ in my head feels broken
I’m the gas from a burner left open
I’m a tightrope held up by a clothespin
Holdin’ out, but the pressure keeps growin’
Wanna go to the light and not the shadow
But the branch isn’t shiny as the arrow
You don’t ever find a way around a battle
You will always choose
Just to watch it burn
Just to watch it burn
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong, Linkin Park except Emily, All]
Cut the bridge we’re on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Goin’ ’til it’s gone
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Sabotage it all
Just to watch it fall
Cut the bridge we’re on
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
Cut it down, cut it down, down, cut it, cut it down
04 – Heavy Is The Crown
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
It’s pourin’ in, you’re laid on the floor again
One knock at the door and then
We both know how the story ends
You can’t win if your white flag’s out when the war begins
Aimin’ so high but swingin’ so low
Tryin’ to catch fire but feelin’ so cold
Hold it inside and hope it won’t show
I’m sayin’ it’s not, but inside, I know
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Today’s gonna be the day you notice
‘Cause I’m tired of explainin’ what the joke is
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin’ down
Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin’ out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Turn to run, now look what it’s become
Outnumbered, ten to one
Back thеn should’ve bit your tongue
‘Cause thеre’s no turnin’ back this path once it’s begun
You’re already on that list
Say you don’t want what you can’t resist
Wavin’ that sword when the pen won’t miss
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin’ down
Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin’ out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda]
Today’s gonna be the day you notice
‘Cause I’m tired of explainin’ what the joke is
[Breakdown: Emily Armstrong]
This is what you asked for
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin’ down
Try to hold it in but it keeps bleedin’ out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the
Heavy is the crown
[Outro: Emily Armstrong]
Heavy is the crown
Heavy is the, heavy is the crown
05 – Over Each Other
[Verse 1: Emily Armstrong]
This is the letter that I, I didn’t write
Lookin’ for color in the black and white
Skyscrapers we created on shaky ground
And I’m tryin’ to find my patience
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
But you won’t let me breathe
And I’m not ever right
All we are is talkin’
Over each other
There’s nothin’ underneath
It’s all a waste of time
All we are is talkin’
Over each other (Over each other)
Over each other
[Verse 2: Emily Armstrong]
Reaching for satellites, but all along
Under your breath, you’re sayin’ that I was wrong, oh
The skyscrapers we created are comin’ down
And free-fallin’ to the pavement
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
‘Cause you won’t let me breathe
And I’m not ever right
All we are is talkin’
Over each other (Over each other)
There’s nothin’ underneath
It’s all a waste of time
All we are is talkin’
Over each other (Oh)
[Bridge: Emily Armstrong]
Are we over each other? (Oh)
Are we over each other? (Oh)
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
I can’t go to sleep
I lie awake at night
I’m so tired of talkin’
Over each other (Over each other)
So say what’s underneath
I wanna see your side
We don’t have to be talkin’
Over each other (Over each other)
Over each other
Over each other
Over each other
Over each other
[Outro: Mike Shinoda, Dave Farrell & Joe Hahn]
You got it
That’s the one
Are you recording this?
‘Kay, get your screamy pants on
06 – Casualty
[Intro: Emily Armstrong]
Let me out, set me free
I know all the secrets you keep
I, I won’t be
I won’t be your casualty
(Launch me up high)
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
I got too complacent
Bleached in the eyes
Put through the paces
But I got left behind
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
But I’m not runnin’
‘Cause something’s comin’
It’s only a matter of time
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Let me out, set me free
I know all the secrets you keep
I, I won’t be
I won’t be your casualty
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
You drew the first blood
Like playin’ God
Closin’ the doors up
While I’m fed to the dogs
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
But I’m not runnin’
‘Cause something’s comin’
It’s only a matter of time
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Let me out, set me free
I know all the secrets you keep
I, I won’t be
I won’t be your casualty
[Post-Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
It’s only a matter of time
It’s only a matter of time
It’s only a matter of time
It’s only a matter of time
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Stop
Telling me you’re something that you’re not
I can see the greed right in your eyes
Hangin’ on a barefaced lie
It’s only a matter of time
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Let me out, set me free
I know all the secrets you keep
I, I won’t be
I won’t be your casualty
I won’t be your casualty
I know all the secrets you keep
I won’t be your casualty
07 – Overflow
[Intro: Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong]
It’s all the same to me
It’s all the same to me
(I keep on fillin’ it up)
It’s all the same to me
(I keep on fillin’ it up)
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
We’re all dressed up for a riot
Catchin’ fire, fightin’ fire
I can feel the pressure comin’
End the world and push the button
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong, Mike Shinoda]
It’s all the same to me
We’re goin’ down, we’re goin’ down, we’re goin’ down, we’re goin’ down
It’s all the same to me
We’re goin’ down, we’re goin’ down, we’re goin’ down, we’re goin’ down
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Turnin’ from a whitе sky
To a black hole
Turnin’ from the sunlight
To a shadow
I know I can’t make it stop
I know I’m out of control
I keep on fillin’ it up
To ovеrflow
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Lookin’ up, the sky is fallin’, fallin’
I can hear the future callin’, callin’
Ground is shakin’ as it opens up to pull me in
Fall into oblivion (Fall into oblivion)
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong, Mike Shinoda]
We’re goin’ down, we’re goin’ down, we’re goin’ down, we’re goin’ down
It’s all the same to me
We’re goin’ down, we’re goin’ down, we’re goin’ down, we’re goin’ down
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Turnin’ from a white sky
To a black hole
Turnin’ from the sunlight
To a shadow
I know I can’t make it stop
I know I’m out of control
I keep on fillin’ it up
To overflow
To overflow
To overflow
To overflow
To overflow
08 – Two Faced
[Intro: Emily Armstrong]
(kniht flesym raeh t’nac I)
(kniht flesym raeh t’nac I)
(—flesym raeh t’nac I)
Get right
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
Last time, I was hanging by a thread
Tryna say I’m not, but I’m in it over my head
That’s when I figured out where it led
Beginnin’ to realize that you put me over the edge
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Your truth’s not rigid, your rules aren’t fair
The dark’s too vivid, the light’s not there
I start to give in, but I can’t bear
To put it all behind, I run into it blind like
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Two-faced, caught in the middle
Caught in the middle
Too late, countin’ to zero
Countin’ to zero
You should havе recognized
It’s too late for choosing sidеs
Two-faced, caught in the middle
Caught in the middle (Two-faced)
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Last time, you told me it wasn’t true (True)
And pointin’ every finger at things that you didn’t do (Do)
So that’s why I kept missin’ the clues
And never realized that the one that did it was you
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Your truth’s not rigid, your rules aren’t fair
The dark’s too vivid, the light’s not there
I start to give in, but I can’t bear
To put it all behind, I run into it blind like
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Two-faced, caught in the middle
Caught in the middle
Too late, countin’ to zero
Countin’ to zero
You should have recognized
It’s too late for choosing sides
Two-faced, caught in the middle
Caught in the middle (Two-faced)
[Bridge: Emily Armstrong]
I can’t hear myself think
I can’t hear myself think
I can’t hear myself think
[Breakdown: Emily Armstrong]
Stop yelling at me
I can’t hear myself think, yeah
Stop yelling at me, stop yelling at me
Stop yelling at me
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Two-faced, caught in the middle
Caught in the middle
Too late, countin’ to zero
Countin’ to zero
You should have recognized
It’s too late for choosing sides
Two-faced, caught in the middle
Caught in the middle, caught in the middle
Caught in the middle, caught in the middle
Caught in the middle (Two-faced)
[Outro: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
Is that what it is?
That’s what it is
Hahahahaha
We’re on the same page right now
09 – Stained
[Intro: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(And now you’re stained)
Yeah
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Hand on my mouth, I shouldn’t have said it (Oh)
Gave you a chance, already regret it (Oh)
Tryin’ so hard to be sympathetic
But I know where it’s gonna go if I let it
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) And I let it
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Knowin’ you’re hidin’ what no one else sees
Close-lipped smile ’cause there’s blood on your teeth (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
What you forget you are gonna repeat
You don’t get to make amends like your hand’s still clean
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Because you’re stained
You try to hide the mark, but it won’t fade
You lie and lie like I was nothin’
Pretend you’re spotless, but I don’t wash away
And now you’re stained
And now you’re stained
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Sweat in your hands while the time starts tickin’ (Sweat in your hands while the time starts tickin’)
Trippin’ on words, alibi starts slippin’ (Trippin’ on words, alibi starts slippin’)
Wanna wake from the nightmare you’ve been livin’ (Wanna wake from the nightmare you’ve been livin’)
But we both know forgotten doesn’t mean forgiven (Mean forgiven), forgiven
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Knowin’ you’re hidin’ what no one else sees
Close-lipped smile ’cause there’s blood on your teeth (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
What you forget you are gonna repeat
You don’t get to make amends like your hand’s still clean
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Because you’re stained
You try to hide the mark, but it won’t fade
You lie and lie like I was nothing
Pretend you’re spotless, but I don’t wash away
And now you’re stained
[Bridge: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
And someday
Knowin’ you’re hidin’ what no one else sees
And someday
Close-lipped smile over blood on your teeth
And someday
What you forget you are gonna repeat
Tryna make amends like your hand’s still clean
But we both know that your hand’s not clean
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
And someday
Your hands will be too red to hide the blame
You’ll realize you had it comin’
Pretend you’re spotless, but I don’t wash away
And now you’re stained
And now you’re stained
And now you’re stained
10 – IGYEIH
[Intro: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda]
So, the question—
I give you everything I have
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I give you everything I have
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I give you everything I have
Yeah
Oh, I give you everything I have
[Verse 1: Emily Armstrong]
I’m crackin’ and opened wide
Dyin’ for one drop
Your remedies hypnotize
I never say stop
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong, Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
And the clock keeps tickin’, the rules aren’t written
I’m tryin’ to rеmember how to make up my mind
Thе clock keeps tickin’, the rules aren’t written
Forgotten doesn’t mean that it’s forgiven this time
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
I give you everything I have
All you give me is your ugliness
You’re not as honest as you act
Just a devil with a god complex
I’m not the enemy
You make me out to be
And I’m so tired of this wishful thinking
Drownin’, sinking
Left with nothin’ left
I give you everything I have
[Verse 2: Emily Armstrong]
I write all the memories down
All over my skin
Hopin’ it’ll snap me out
When this happens again
[Pre-Chorus: Emily Armstrong, Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
And the clock keeps tickin’, the rules aren’t written
I’m tryin’ to remember how to make up my mind
The clock keeps tickin’, the rules aren’t written
Forgotten doesn’t mean that it’s forgiven this time
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
I give you everything I have
All you give me is your ugliness
You’re not as honest as you act
Just a devil with a god complex
I’m not the enemy
You make me out to be
And I’m so tired of this wishful thinking
Drownin’, sinking
Left with nothin’ left
I give you everything I have
[Post-Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I give you everything I have
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I give you everything I have
[Bridge: Emily Armstrong]
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
[Outro: Emily Armstrong]
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, I don’t need ya
From now on, got amnesia
10 – Good Things Go
[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
Feels like it’s rained in my head for a hundred days
Feels like it’s rained in my head for a hundred days
Stare in the mirror and I look for another face
Stare in the mirror and I look for another face
And I get so tired of puttin’ out fires and makin’ up lies
Checkin’ my eyes for some kinda light, but nothing’s inside
And it feels like it’s rained in my head for a hundred days
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong]
And I say I hate you when I don’t
Push you when you get too close
It’s hard to laugh when I’m the joke
But I can’t do this on my—
Only you could save me from my lack of self-control
Sometimes bad things take the place where good things go
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong, Mike Shinoda & Emily Armstrong]
I’ve asked for forgiveness a hundred times
I’ve asked for forgiveness a hundred times
Believed it myself when I halfway apologized
Believed it myself when I halfway apologized
And it’s not unfair, I’m asking for prayers, but nobody cares
Goin’ nowhere like fallin’ downstairs while everyone stares
No one’s there when I’ve asked for forgiveness a hundred times
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong]
And I say I hate you when I don’t
Push you when you get too close
It’s hard to laugh when I’m the joke
But I can’t do this on my—
Only you could save me from my lack of self-control
Sometimes bad things take the place where good things go
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda]
No, I’m just takin’ a shot, ah
Maybe I’m just too eager, oh
Maybe I lost the plot, ha
I used to pity some people
I said they were missing a spine
Yeah, maybe the problem is ego
Maybe the, maybe the problem is mine
Really, I’m fine
Don’t get too intimate, don’t get too curious
This is just feelin’ like it’s not that serious
Stare at the ceiling, feeling delirious
Fuck all your empathy, I want your fury
‘Cause I will just
Tell you I’m better, then, better, then
Spit out my medicine, medicine, ayy
Drunk on adrenaline, ‘drenaline, ayy
And I don’t know why I
[Chorus: Emily Armstrong & Mike Shinoda, Emily Armstrong]
Say I hate you when I don’t
Push you when you get too close
It’s hard to laugh when I’m the joke
But I can’t do this on my—
Only you could save me from my lack of self-control
And I won’t make excuses for the pain I caused us both
So thank you for always standing by me even though
Sometimes bad things take the place where good things go
