Linkin Park:From The Inside

From LyricWiki

This song is performed by Linkin Park and appears on the album Meteora (2003).

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 upon 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

I take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
Because 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 upon 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

I take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
Because I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you

I won't waste myself on you
I won't waste myself on you

I'll take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
Because I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you

Everything from the inside
And just throw it all away
Because I swear for the last time
I won't trust myself with you

[edit] Notes

Phoenix came up with the original guitar idea for this song while recording with Mike in the back of the tour bus during the summer of 2002. The song's 6/8 time signature created an opportunity to juxtapose seemingly disparate rhythms, most apparent in the verses. When it came time to complete the song, the band ran into a challenge: Chester got sick. Unable to sing during the last week of scheduled recording, Chester was forced to finish his parts in New York, during the start of the mixing process. Down to the wire, the band was left with little margin for error. Fortunately, this song and "Somewhere I Belong" were written and recorded successfully on the third floor of Soundtrack Studios, NYC.
