[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
What do I do to ignore what's behind me?
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I let it go 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 none and live life in loneliness?
Cause sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington]
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 mysеlf

[Chorus: Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda]
I can't hold on (To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to takе in
I can't hold on (To anything, watching everything spin)
With thoughts of failure sinking in
