Bleed It Out/A Place For My Head (A Thousand Suns+: Live in Madrid)
Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time Hand grenade pins in every line Throw ‘em up and let something shine Going out of my ... mind Filthy mouth, no excuse Find a new place to hang this noose String me up from atop these roofs Knot it tight so I won’t get loose Truth is, you can stop and stare Run myself out and no one cares Dug the trench out, laid down there With a shovel up that’ll reach somewhere Yeah, someone pour it in Make it a dirt dance floor again Say your prayers and stomp it out When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away Just to throw it away, just to throw it away
I bleed it out, go, stop the show Drop your words and let sloppy flow Shotgun, opera, lock and load ... it back and then watch it go Mama, help me, I’ve been cursed Death is rollin’ in every verse Candy paint on his brand new hearse Can’t contain him, he knows he works ... this hurts, I won’t lie Doesn’t matter how hard I try Half the words don’t mean a thing And I know that I won’t be satisfied So I try ignoring him Make it a dirt dance floor again Say your prayers and stomp it out When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away Just to throw it away, just to throw it away
I bleed it out, I’ve opened up these scars I’ll make you face this I’ve pulled myself so far I’ll make you face this now
Standin' alone with no direction. How did I fall so far behind? Why am I searchin' for perfection? Knowing it's something I won't find.
In my fear and flaws I let myself down again All because
I run. Till the silence splits me open. I run. Till it puts me under ground, Till I have no breath And no roads left to run.
I watch how the moon sits in the sky On a dark night shining with the light from the sun The sun doesn't give light to the moon 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 [x2]
'cause you try to take the best of me Go away (8x)
I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away Just to throw it away, just to throw it away
