(Verse 1 – Rap – Mike Shinoda Style)
I’m suffocating, trapped in my own mind,
All the walls close in, they’re making me blind.
You push me to the edge, but I can’t break,
All these lies you’ve fed, now I’m wide awake.
You speak in circles, trying to hold me down,
But I’m rising from the wreckage, I won’t drown.
You built this cage, but I’m taking it apart,
I’m done with your control, it’s time to restart.
(Pre-Chorus – Sung – Chester Bennington Style)
I can’t take the weight, I can’t stand the lies,
I’ve been holding my breath, waiting for the skies.
All the things you say, they’re poisoning my soul,
And I can’t keep pretending, I’ve lost control.
(Chorus – Sung – Chester Bennington Style)
Underneath it all, I’m breaking free,
You thought you had me, but you’ll never see.
I’m done with the games, I’m done with the fight,
I’m tearing it down, I’ll make it right.
Underneath it all, I’ll rise again,
No more holding back, this is the end.
(Verse 2 – Rap – Mike Shinoda Style)
You push me to the brink, think I’ll fall apart,
But you don’t know me, I’ve got a hardened heart.
You built your walls, but they’re crumbling now,
I won’t be your puppet, I’ll show you how.
Every word you spit, it’s eating me alive,
But I’m not afraid, I won’t just survive.
I’ll take your hate and turn it to fire,
I’m burning it all, lifting me higher.
(Pre-Chorus – Sung – Chester Bennington Style)
I can’t take the weight, I can’t stand the lies,
I’ve been holding my breath, waiting for the skies.
All the things you say, they’re poisoning my soul,
And I can’t keep pretending, I’ve lost control.
(Chorus – Sung – Chester Bennington Style)
Underneath it all, I’m breaking free,
You thought you had me, but you’ll never see.
I’m done with the games, I’m done with the fight,
I’m tearing it down, I’ll make it right.
Underneath it all, I’ll rise again,
No more holding back, this is the end.
(Bridge – Screamed – Chester Bennington Style)
I’m done, I’m done with the lies,
I won’t be your victim, I won’t compromise!
You’ve taken enough, but I’m taking control,
I’ll tear this apart, and I’ll heal my soul!
(Chorus – Sung – Chester Bennington Style)
Underneath it all, I’m breaking free,
You thought you had me, but you’ll never see.
I’m done with the games, I’m done with the fight,
I’m tearing it down, I’ll make it right.
Underneath it all, I’ll rise again,
No more holding back, this is the end.
(Outro – Soft Singing – Chester Bennington Style)
Underneath it all, I’ll stand tall,
I’ll rise from the ashes, I’ll tear down the wall.
Underneath it all, I’m finally free,
This is my victory, this is me.
