Shifter (From The Inside Demo) - LINKIN PARK

I don't know who to trust, no surprise Everyone feels so far away from me Heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies Trying not to break, but I'm so tired of this deceit Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet All I ever think about is this All the tiring time between And how trying to put my trust in you Just takes so much out of me Take everything from the inside And throw it all away 'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you Tension is building inside, steadily Everyone feels so far away from me Heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me Trying not to break, but I'm so tired of this deceit Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet All I ever think about is this All the tiring time between And how trying to put my trust in you Just takes so much out of me Take everything from the inside And throw it all away 'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you I won't waste myself on you You You Waste myself on you You You I'll take everything from the inside And throw it all away 'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you Everything from the inside And just throw it all away 'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you You You

From morning to night, I stayed out of sight Didn't recognize I'd become No more than alive, I'd barely survive In a word, overrun Won't hear a sound (he's curled into the corner) From my mouth (but still the screen is flickering) I've spent too long (with an endless stream of garbage) On the inside out (curse the place) My skin is cold (in a sea of random images) To the human touch (the self-destructing animal) This bleeding heart's (waiting for the waves) Not beating much (to break) I murmured a vow of silence, and now I don't even hear when I think aloud Extinguished by light, I turn on the night Wear its darkness with an empty smile I'm creeping back to life My nervous system all awry I'm wearing the inside out Look at him now, he's paler somehow But he's coming around He's starting to choke, it's been so long since he spoke Well, he can have the words right from my mouth And with these words, I can see Clear through the clouds that covered me Just give it time, then speak my name Now we can hear ourselves again I'm holding out (he's standing on the threshold) For the day (caught in fiery anger) When all the clouds (and hurled into the furnace) Have blown away (he'll curse the place) I'm with you now (he's torn in all directions) Can speak your name (and still the screen is flickering) Now we can hear (waiting for the flames) Ourselves again (to break)

Watching as the light fades in, everybody else is asleep Nobody keeps you as well as these friends you keep But how do you hold on to those who turn their backs when it's your turn to knee? You just get more than you got until everybody sees Now, I know you've never needed the pity of anyone Not even your father for making you what you've become But if you let these people take whatever you may bring They'll take advantage while they're taking you for everything With all these people you're trying to impress You're still letting them pull you around just like a marionette And I'm watching the way you do this, like you're not gonna learn You just giving these people everything with nothing in return Now, I know you've never needed the pity of anyone Not even your father for making you what you've become But if you let these people take whatever you may bring They'll take advantage while they're taking you for everything
