Linkin Park - From Zero Album Lyrics

Your blades are sharpened with precision
Flashing your favorite point of view
I know you're waiting in the distance
Just like you always do, just like you always do

Already pulling me in
Already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, I

Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive
Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine
The emptiness machine

Goin' around like a revolver
It's been decided how we lose
'Cause there's a fire under the altar
I keep on lyin' to, I keep on lyin' to

Already pulling me in
Already under my skin
And I know exactly how this ends, I

Let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don't know why I'm hopin' for what I won't receive
Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine

I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part of, part of
I only wanted to be part of something
I only wanted to be part

I let you cut me open just to watch me bleed
Gave up who I am for who you wanted me to be
Don't know why I'm hopin', so f*ckin' naive
Fallin' for the promise of the emptiness machine
The emptiness machine

(I only wanted to be part of something)
The emptiness machine, oh
(I only wanted to be part of)
The emptiness machine

It's pouring in, you're laid on the floor again
One knock at the door and then
We both know how the story ends
You can't win if your white flag's out when the war begins
Aiming so high but swinging so low
Trying to catch fire but feeling so cold
Hold it inside and hope it won't show
I'm saying it's not but inside I know

Today's gonna be the day you notice
'Cause I'm tired of explaining what the joke is

This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down
Try to hold it in but it keeps bleeding out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the-
Heavy is the crown

Turn to run, now look what it's become
Outnumbered ten to one
Back then should've bit your tongue
'Cause there's no turning back this path once it's begun
You're already on that list
Say you don't want what you can't resist
Waving that sword when the pen won't miss
Watch it all falling apart like this

This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down
Try to hold it in but it keeps bleeding out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the-
Heavy is the crown

Today's gonna be the day you notice
'Cause I'm tired of explaining what the joke is
(This is what you asked for)

This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown
Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down
Try to hold it in but it keeps bleeding out
This is what you asked for, heavy is the-
Heavy is the crown

Heavy is the crown
Heavy is the-
Heavy is the crown
