By Myself (Josh Abraham & Mike Shinoda feat. Stephen Carpenter Of Deftones)
[Myself! / Myself!] What do I do to ignore them behind me? Do I follow my instincts blindly? Do I hide my pride / From these bad dreams And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening? Do I / Sit here and try to stand it? Or do I / Try to catch them red-handed? Do I trust some and get fooled my phoniness Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness? Because I can’t hold on / When I’m stretched so thin I make the right moves but I’m lost within I put on my daily facade but then I just end up getting hurt again 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 myself
I can’t look around It’s too much to take in I can’t hold back When I’m stretched so thin I can’t slow down Watching everything spin I can’t look back Starting over again
If I turn my back I’m defenseless And to go blindly seems senseless If I hide my pride and let it all go on / Then they’ll Take from me ’till everything is gone If I / Let them go I’ll be outdone But if I / Try to catch them I’ll be outrun If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer 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 myself
I can’t look around It’s too much to take in I can’t hold back When I’m stretched so thin I can’t slow down Watching everything spin I can’t look back Starting over again
