"Lost In The Echo" (yeah) (yo) You were that foundation Never gonna be another one, no. I followed, so taken So conditioned I could never let go Then sorrow, then sickness Then the shock when you flip it on me So hollow, so vicious So afraid I couldn't let myself see That I could never be held Back or up no, I'll hold myself Check the rep, yep you know mine well Forget the rest let them know my hell There and back yet my soul ain't sell Kept respect up,the best they fell, Let the rest be the tale they tell That I was there saying… [Chorus] [Chester:] In these promises broken Deep below Each word gets lost in the echo So one last lie I can see through This time I finally let you Go, go, go. Test my will, test my heart Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up Y'all go hard, I go smart How's that working out for y'all in the back, huh? I've seen that frustration Been crossed and lost and told "No" And I've come back unshaken Let down and lived and let go So you can let it be known I don't hold back, I hold my own I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned I can't C-flat, it ain't my tone I can't fall back, I came too far Hold myself up and love my scars Let the bells ring wherever they are 'Cause I was there saying... [Chorus] [Chester:] In these promises broken Deep below Each word gets lost in the echo So one last lie I can see through This time I finally let you go!!! Go, go, go. No, you can tell 'em all now I don't back up, I don't back down I don't fold up, and I don't

"In My Remains"

SeparateSifting through the wreckageI can't concentrateSearching for a messageIn the fear and painBroken down and waitingFor the chance to feel alive

Now in my remainsAre promises that never cameSet the silence freeTo wash away the worst of me

Come apartFalling in the cracksOf every broken heartDigging through the wreckageOf your disregardSinking down and waitingFor the chance to feel alive

Now in my remainsAre promises that never cameSet the silence freeTo wash away the worst of me

Like an army, fallingOne by one by oneLike an army, fallingOne by one by oneLike an army, fallingOne by one by oneLike an army, fallingOne by one by one

Now in my remainsAre promises that never cameSet the silence freeTo wash away the worst of me

Like an army, fallingOne by one by oneLike an army, fallingOne by one by one

"Burn It Down"

The cycle repeatedAs explosions broke in the skyAll that I neededWas the one thing I couldn't find

And you were there at the turnWaiting to let me know

[Chorus:]We're building it upTo break it back downWe're building it upTo burn it downWe can't waitTo burn it to the ground

The colors conflictedAs the flames climbed into the clouds.I wanted to fix thisBut couldn't stop from tearing it down.

And you were there at the turnCaught in the burning glowAnd I was there at the turnWaiting to let you know

[Chorus:]We're building it upTo break it back downWe're building it upTo burn it downWe can't waitTo burn it to the ground

You told me, "Yes"You held me highAnd I believed when you told that lieI played soldier, you played kingAnd struck me down, when I kissed that ringYou lost that right, to hold that crownI built you up, but you let me downSo when you fall, I'll take my turnAnd fan the flamesAs your blazes burn

And you were there at the turnWaiting to let me know

Page 3: Living things lyrics

[Chorus:]We're building it upTo break it back downWe're building it upTo burn it downWe can't waitTo burn it to the ground

When you fall, I'll take my turnAnd fan the flamesAs your blazes burn

We can't waitTo burn it to the ground

When you fall, I'll take my turnAnd fan the flamesAs your blazes burn

We can't waitTo burn it to the ground

"Lies Greed Misery"

[Verse 1]I'mma be that nail in your coffinSayin' that I softenedI was duckin' down to reloadSo you can save your petty explanationsI don't have the patienceBefore you even say it I knowYou let your pride or your egoTalk slick to me, noThat is not the way I get downAnd look at how you lose your composureNow let me show youExactly how the breaking point sounds

[Chorus]I wanna see you choke on your liesSwallow up your greedSuffer all alone in your miseryChoke on your lies

Swallow up your greedSuffer all alone in your misery

[Verse 2]What is it you want me to tell youI am not the failureI would rather live and let beBut you came with the right kind of threat toPush me to let youNo you can't intimidate meYou disrespect me so clearlyNow you better hear meThat is not the way it goes downYou did it to yourself and it's overNow let me show youExactly how the breaking point sounds

[Chorus]I wanna see you choke on your liesSwallow up your greedSuffer all alone in your miseryChoke on your liesSwallow up your greedSuffer all alone in your miseryI wanna see you choke on your liesSwallow up your greedSuffer all alone in your miseryChoke on your liesSwallow up your greedSuffer all alone in your misery

[Bridge]You did it to yourself [x8]

[Chorus]I wanna see you choke on your liesSwallow up your greedSuffer all alone in your miseryChoke on your liesSwallow up your greedSuffer all alone in your misery

"I'll Be Gone"

Like shining oil, this night is dripping downStars are slipping down, glisteningAnd I'm trying not to think what I'm leaving nowNo deceiving now, it's time you let me know.Let me know

[Chorus:]When the lights go out and we open our eyes,Out there in the silence, I'll be gone, I'll be gone.Let the sun fade out and another one riseClimbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone, I'll be gone.

This air between us is getting thinner nowInto winter now. Bitter sweetAnd 'cross that horizon this sun is setting downYou're forgetting now, it's time you let me go, let me go

[Chorus:]When the lights go out and we open our eyes,Out there in the silence, I'll be gone, I'll be gone.Let the sun fade out and another one riseClimbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone, I'll be gone.

[Bridge:]And tell them I couldn't tell myselfAnd tell them I was aloneOh, tell me I am the only oneAnd there's nothing that can stop me.

[Chorus:]When the lights go out and we open our eyes,Out there in the silence, I'll be gone, I'll be gone.Let the sun fade out and another one riseClimbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone, I'll be gone, I'll be gone.

"Castle Of Glass"

Take me down to the river bendTake me down to the fighting endWash the poison from off my skinShow me how to be whole again

Fly me up on a silver wingPast the black where the sirens singWarm me up in a nova's glowAnd drop me down to the dream below

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glassHardly anything there for you to seeFor you to see

Bring me home in a blinding dream,Through the secrets that I have seenWash the sorrow from off my skinAnd show me how to be whole again

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glassHardly anything there for you to seeFor you to see

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glassHardly anything else I need to be

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glassHardly anything there for you to seeFor you to seeFor you to see

"Victimized"

[Shinoda:]No regret for the confidence betrayedNo more hiding in shadow'Cause I won't wait for the debt to be repaidTime has come for you

[Chester:][Chorus]Victimized, victimized, never again victimized [x2]

[Shinoda:]They're acting like they want a riot, it's a riot I'll give themAs the sound climbs higher on this violent rhythmFor you snakes in the grass, supplying the venomI ain't scared of your teeth, I admire what's in emKeep 'em waiting in the shadows there, thinking they hiddenBut the truth is you don't have the stomach to get emGo on already, hit em! Yeah, you gotta be kiddin'Wanna talk about a victim, Imma put you there with 'em!

[Chester:][Chorus]Victimized, victimized, never again victimized [x2]

(Raaah!)

"Roads Untraveled"

Weep not for roads untraveledWeep not for paths left alone'Cause beyond every bendIs a long blinding endIt's the worst kind of painI've known

Give up your heart left brokenAnd let that mistake pass on'Cause the love that you lostWasn't worth what it costAnd in time you'll be glad it's gone

Woah-oo-oh-ohWoah-oo-ohhWoah-oo-oh-ohWoah-oo-ohh

Weep not for roads untraveledWeep not for sights unseenMay your love never endAnd if you need a friendThere's a seat here alongside me

Woah-oo-oh-ohWoah-oo-ohhWoah-oo-oh-ohWoah-oo-ohh

"Skin To Bone"

Skin to bone, steel to rustAsh to ashes dust to dustLet tomorrow have its wayWith the promises we madeSkin to bone, steel to rust.

Ash to ashes, dust to dustYour deception, my disgustWhen your name is finally drawn,I'll be happy that you're goneAsh to ashes, dust to dust.

[Chorus:](aaah) ash to ashes, dust to dust(aaah) skin to bone and steel to rust

Right to left, left to rightNight to day and day to nightAs the starlight fades to gray,I'll be marching far awayRight to left and left to right

[Chorus:](aaah) ash to ashes, dust to dust(aaah) skin to bone and steel to rust

Let tomorrow have its way?With the promises betrayed?Skin to bone and steel to rust [x3]

"Until It Breaks"

It goes a oneTwo, three

I was born with the hunger of a lion, the strength of a SunI don't need to sweat it when a competition comeOriginal style, like an 808 drumSo I don't run the track, no, I make the track runMy momma taught me words, my daddy built rocketsI hold 'em both together now, tell me what

I gotIt's a pretty smart weapon, I can shoot it, I can drop itBut learn to respect it 'cause you clearly can't stop it

Like that

It ain't over'Cause the shark's on the left side, the snake's on the rightAnd anything you do, they wanna get a little biteIt really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right'Cause once they get their teeth in nothing really fightsAnd as for me I do it like I got nothing to loseAnd you can run your mouth like you could try to fill my shoesBut steady little soldier, I ain't standing next to youI'll be laying on the ground before you're even in my viewLike that

Give me the strength of the rising SunGive me the truth of the words unsungAnd when the last bells ring, the poor men sing"Bring me to kingdom come"

It's something for your people on the block toBlackout and rock to, give you what you needLike Papa, who shot youSeparate the weak from the obsoleteThe meek, I creep hard on impostorsAnd switch styles on the dime, quick-witted y'allQuit tripping, I don't have time for your cryingI grind tough, sucker, make your mind upAre you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?Bang, bang, little monkey man playingWith the big guns only get you slayedI ain't playing, I'm just saying

Page 7: Living things lyrics

You ain't got a sliver of a chanceI get iller, I deliver while you quiver in your pantsSo shake, shake down, Money, here's the break downYou can play the bank, Imma play the bank take downAnd no mistakes now I'm coming to get youI'm just a Banksy, you're a Brainwash, get the picture?It's like that

We swim against the rising wavesAnd crash against the shoreThe body bends until it breaksThe early morning sings no more

So rest your headIt's time to sleepAnd dream of what's in storeThe body bends until it breaksAnd sings again no more'cause time has torn the flesh awayThe early morning sings no more

"Powerless"

You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mineYou woke the devil that I thought you'd left behindI saw the evidence, the crimson soaking throughTen thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose

[Chorus:]And you held it all but you were careless to let it fallYou held it all and I was by your side, powerless

I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end.I'm left with emptiness that words cannot defendYou'll never know what I became because of youTen thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose

[Chorus: x2]And you held it all but you were careless to let it fallYou held it all and I was by your side, powerless

Powerless [x2]
