"I'm too weak to face me..."

Hits way close to home....

[dmvoidstar]

One of the darkest sounding Linkin Park songs. The eastern-ish chants are giving me such eerie feelings. Probably my fav song of them.

[insert-name-here]

Seems like Linkin Park had created a horror theme back in the day. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if this was in some horror movie, it has that horror charm in it. That’s what I love about this masterpiece of a song.

[luispadilla]

First album was always very haunting, you can really feel the anger and pain.

LYRICS 🥀🖤🥀
She can't hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguise behind the lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight and staring at her insides
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family asking if she's alright
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well, all she's got to do is stop kidding herself

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
She can only fool herself for so long
She can only fool herself for so long
(You're too weak to face me)

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
When it comes to how to live his life, he can't be told
Says he's got it all under control
Thinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with
But in reality, it'd be a problem to just quit
An addict, and he can't hold the reigns
The pain is worse, 'cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the problem he's got
But can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
He can only fool himself for so long
He can only fool himself for so long
(You're too weak to face me)

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington]
Fly with me under the wings I gave you
Try to be closer to me, I'll save you
Fly with me under the wings I gave you
Try to be closer to me, I'll save you
Just follow me
I never know just why you run
And I'll show you what you want to see
The part you hide from what's inside
Just follow me
So far away, away from me
And I'll show you what you want to see

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me

Chester's voice is so dominating and ominous in this song! I dig it so much! It drops like a fucken meteor

[adri_mun]

This demo has always been one of my favorites and I'm glad it has an official release

*“Fly with me under the wings I gave you. Try to be closer with me, I'll save you”*

[KalvinEllis]

One of my favorite classic LP songs. Remember it almost scared me as a teen when I first heard it because it's so dark. The ominous beat fits the lyrics about people being perpetually in denial about their personal demons they can't escape from, picture perfectly. It was obvious from the start that LP was something special.

[Josue-qbcq]

This song should've been one of the most popular linkin park songs ever... same as "behind your lies"

[MichaelWitherspoon]

I don't know what it is about these old, pre-hybrid theory songs. They have this dark, almost creepy feel to them all. They still sound like lp, but there's something about hearing them.

[nintendopro]

2:01 I like the Middle Eastern vocals here!

[snehaljhaveri]

Favourite favourite unreleased track finally gets an official release 😭❤️

[Cocorost]

Chester Bennington will forever remain the best singer on earth!

[subject]

LP's old tracks are chilling and dark. Freakin awsome.

[realspartan]

I love how the EP and Demo versions have completely different moods and emotions with this song,
the EP sounds a little frustrated and self hatred,
The demo sounds more sincere like if you wanted to help someone

[ChrisPC]

If Linkin Park was in "NIGHTMARISH mode", it'd be "Carousel".
