A place for my head 

I watch how the moon 
Sits in the sky in the dark night 
Shining with the light from the sun 
The sun doesn't give life to the moon to assuming 
The moon's going to owe it one 
It makes me think of how you act to me 
You do 
Favors and then rapidly 
You just turn around and start asking me about 
Things 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 

Chorus: 

I want to be in another place 
I hate when you say you don't understand 
(You'll see it's not meant to be) 
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy 
A place for my head 
Maybe someday I'll be just like you and 
Step on people like you do and run away 
Of the people I thought I knew 
I remember back then who you were 
You used to be calm, used to be strong 
Used to be generous but you should've known 
That you'd wear out your welcome 
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

Chorus

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 
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 

Chorus

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

By myself 

What do I do to ignore them behind me 
Do I follow my instincts blindly 
Do I hide my pride I away from these bad dreams 
And give into sad thoughts that are maddening 
Do I sit here and try to stand it 
Or do I try to catch them red handed 
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness 
Or do I trust nobody and live in lonliness 
Because I can’t hold on when I’m stretched so thin 
I make the right moves but I’m lost within 
I put on my daily facade but then 
I just end up getting hurt again 
By myself (myself) 
I ask why 
But in my mind I find 
I can't rely on myself (myself) 
I ask why 
But in my mind I find 
I can't rely on myself 

Chorus: 

I can't hold on 
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin 
It's all too much to take in 
I can't hold on 
To anything watching everything spin 
With thoughts of failure sinking in 
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 
Then they'll take from me till everything is gone 
If I let them go I'll be outdone 
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun 
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer 
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer 
By myself (myself) 
I ask why 
But in my mind I find 
I can't rely on myself (myself) 
I ask why 
But in my mind I find 
I can't rely on myself 

Chorus

How do you think 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 know 
I can't tell you how to make it go 
No matter what I do, how hard I try 
I can't seem to convince myself why 
I'm stuck on the outside 
Don't you know 
I can't tell you how to make it go 
No matter what I do, how hard I try 
I can't seem to convince myself why 
I'm stuck on the outside 

Chorus (2x)  

  
Crawling 

Chorus: 

Crawling in my skin 
These wounds, they will not heal 
Fear is how I fall 
Confusing what is real 
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface 
Consuming, confusing 
This lack of self control I fear is never ending 
Controlling 
I can't seem 
To find myself again 
My walls are closing in 
(Without a sense of confidence I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take) 
I've felt this way before 
So insecure 

Chorus

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 
(Without a sense of confidence I’m convinced that there’s just too much pressure to take) 
I've felt this way before 
So insecure 

Chorus

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface 
Consuming, confusing 
This lack of self control I fear is never ending 
Controlling 

 
In the end

It starts with 
One thing I don't know why 
It doesn't even matter how hard you try 
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme 
To explain in due time 
All I know 
Time is a vaulable 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 below 
Watch the time go right out the window 
Trying to hold on but didn't even know 
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 me will evenutally be a memory of a time when 

Chorus: 

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 
One thing 
I don't know why 
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 far 
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 

Chorus

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

One step closer 

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

Chorus: 

Everything you say to me 
Takes me 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 break 
I find the answers aren't so clear 
Wish I could find a way to disappear 
All these thoughts they make no sense 
I find bliss in ignorance 
Nothing seems to go away 
Over and over again 
Just like before... 

Chorus (2x) 

Shut up when I’m talking to you! 
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! 
Shut up when I’m talking to you! 
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! 
I'm about to break 

Chorus: (2x)

Papercut 

Why does it feel like night today? 
Something in here's not right today 
Why am I so uptight today? 
Paranoia's all I got left 
I don't know what stressed me first 
Or 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 that I hold inside 
A face that awakes when I close my eyes 
A face watches every time I lie 
A face that laughs every time I fall 
(It watches everything) 
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim 
That the face inside is hearing me right underneath my skin 

Chorus: 

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' 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've got a face in me 
Points out all my mistakes to me 
You've got a face on the inside too 
And 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 awakes when they close their eyes 
A face watches every time they lie 
A face that laughs every time they fall 
[And watches everything] 
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim 
That the face inside is watching you too 
Right inside your skin 

Chorus: (2x) 

The face inside is right beneath my skin 
The face inside is right beneath my skin 
The face inside is right beneath my skin 
The sun goes down 
I feel the light betray me 
The sun goes down 
I feel the light betray me 

Chorus 

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' 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 
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within 
It's like the face inside is right beneath my sky
