I got a long way to go And a long memory I been searching for an answer Always just out of reach Blood on the floor Sirens repeat I been searching for the courage To face my enemies When they turn down the lights [Chorus] I hear my battle symphony All the world in front of me If my armor breaks I’ll fuse it back together Battle symphony Please just don’t give up on me And my eyes are wide awake [Bridge] For my battle symphony For my battle symphony [Verse 2] They say that I don’t belong Say that I should retreat That I’m marching to the rhythm Of a lonesome defeat But the sound of your voice Puts the pain in reverse No surrender, no illusions And for better or worse When they turn down the lights [Chorus] I hear my battle symphony All the world in front of me If my armor breaks I’ll fuse it back together Battle symphony Please just don’t give up on me And my eyes are wide awake [Bridge] If I fall, get knocked down Pick myself up off the ground If I fall, get knocked down Pick myself up off the ground When they turn down the lights [Chorus] I hear my battle symphony All the world in front of me If my armor breaks I’ll fuse it back together Battle symphony Please just don’t give up on me And my eyes are wide awake For my battle symphony For my battle symphony

   Mama always told me don't you run "Don't you run with scissors, son You're gonna hurt someone" Mama told me look before you leap Always think before you speak, and watch the friends you keep Stay along the beaten path, never listened when she said Sharp edges have consequences, I Guess that I had to find out for myself Sharp edges have consequences, now Every scar is a story I can tell Should've played it safer from the start Loved you like a house of cards Let it fall apart But all the things I couldn't understand Never could've planned They made me who I am Put your nose in paperbacks Instead of smoking cigarettes These are years you're never getting back Stay along the beaten path, never listened when she said Sharp edges have consequences, I Guess that I had to find out for myself Sharp edges have consequences, now Every scar is a story I can tell We all fall down We live somehow We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger We all fall down We live somehow We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger Stay along the beaten path, never listened when she said Sharp edges have consequences, I Guess that I had to find out for myself Sharp edges have consequences, now Every scar is a story I can tell We all fall down We live somehow We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger We all fall down We live somehow We learn what doesn't kill us makes us stronger Writer(s): Joseph Hahn, Brad Delson, Mike Shinoda, Robert G.

I've got an aching head Echoes and buzzing noises I know the words we said But wish I could've turned our voices down This is not black and white Only organized confusion I'm just trying to get it right And in spite of all I should've done I was not mad at you I was not trying to tear you down The words that I could've used I was too scared to say out loud If I cannot break your fall I'll pick you up right off the ground If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible You didn't get your way And it's an empty feeling You've got a lot to say And you just want to know you're being heard But this is not black and white There are no clear solutions And I'm just trying to get it right And in spite of all I should've done I was not mad at you I was not trying to tear you down The words that I could've used I was too scared to say out loud If I cannot break your fall I'll pick you up right off the ground If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible This is not black and white There are no clear solutions I'm just trying to get it right And in spite of all I should've done I was not mad at you I was not trying to tear you down The words that I could've used I was too scared to say out loud If I cannot break your fall I'll pick you up right off the ground If you felt invisible, I won't let you feel that now Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible Invisible

IÂ’m dancing with my demons IÂ’m hanging off the edge Storm clouds gather beneath me Waves break above my head At first hallucination I wanna fall wide awake now You tell me itÂ’s alright Tell me IÂ’m forgiven Tonight But nobody can save me now IÂ’m holding up a light Chasing up the darkness inside 'Cause nobody can save me Stare into this illusion For answers yet to come I chose a false solution But nobody proved me wrong At first hallucination I wanna fall wide awake Watch the ground giving way now You tell me itÂ’s alright Tell me IÂ’m forgiven Tonight But nobody can save me now IÂ’m holding up a light IÂ’m chasing up the darkness inside 'Cause nobody can save me Been searching somewhere out there For whatÂ’s been missing right here IÂ’ve been searching somewhere out there For whatÂ’s been missing right here I wanna fall wide awake now So tell me itÂ’s alright Tell me IÂ’m forgiven Tonight If only I can save me now IÂ’m holding up a light Chasing up the darkness inside And I donÂ’t wanna let you down But only I can save me Been searching somewhere out there For whatÂ’s been missing right here Written by Jonathan Ian Green, Chester Bennington, Robert G.

[Verse 1] Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored? Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore? We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep There are things that we can have, but can't keep [Chorus] If they say Who cares if one more light goes out? In the sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone's time runs out? If a moment is all we are Or quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do [Verse 2 ] The reminders, pull the floor from your feet In the kitchen, one more chair than you need, oh And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there [Chorus] If they say Who cares if one more light goes out? In the sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone's time runs out? If a moment is all we are Or quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do [Instrumental + Bridge] (I do) [Chorus/Outro] Who cares if one more light goes out? In the sky of a million stars It flickers, flickers Who cares when someone's time runs out? If a moment is all we are Or quicker, quicker Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do Well I do
