[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda with Chester Bennington]
              
It starts with

       
 one...

One, then multiplies 'til you can taste the sun

And burned by 

the sky you tr

y to take it f

rom

But if it fall

s, there's no 

place to run
             
Crumbling down

              
, it's so unre

 
al

They're dealing you in to determine your end

And sending yo

u back again, 

to places you'

ve been
             
And bending yo

              
ur will 'til i

              
t breaks you, 

    
within
              
And still, the

              
y fill their e

 
yes

With the twilight through the skylight

And the highli

ghts on a fram

e of steel

See the bright

ness of your l

ikeness
             
As I write thi

              
s on a pad wit

              
h the way I fe


el

Hear the screaming in my dreaming

As it's seemin

g that you've 

played your pa

rt

Like you're he

artless, take 

apart this
           
In the darknes

s, but I know 

that I've trie

d so hard

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
            
I tried so har

              
d and got so f


ar
             
But in the end

              
, it doesn't e

      
ven matter
            
I had to fall 

            
to lose it all
             
But in the end

              
, it doesn't e

          
ven matter

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda with Chester Bennington]
              
I've looked do

        
wn the line

And what's there is not what ought to be

Held back by t

he battles the

y fought for m

e

Calling me to 

be part of the

ir property
             
And now, I see

              
 that I get no

     
 chance

I get no break
            
Fakes and snak

es quickly lea

d to mistakes
             
And as the tig

htrope within 

slowly starts 

to thin
             
I can only hop

              
e that they cl

           
ose their eyes

To the twilight through the skylight

And the highli

ghts on a fram

e of steel

See the bright

ness of your l

ikeness
             
As I write thi

              
s on a pad to 

           
the way I feel

Hear the screaming in my dreaming

As it's seemin

g that you've 

played your pa

rt

Like you're he

artless, take 

apart this
         
In the darknes

o hard

[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
             
I've put my tr
