Breaking the habit

Like opening the wound
I’m picking me apart again
You all assume
I’m safe here in my room
(unless I try to start again)
I don’t want to be the one
The battles always choose
‘Cause inside I realize
That I’m the one confused

I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don’t know why I instigate
And say what I don’t mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I know it’s not alright
So I’m
Breaking the habit
Tonight

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again
I’ll paint it on the walls
‘Cause I’m the one at fault
I’ll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don’t know what’s worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don’t know how I got this
I’ll never be alright
So I’m
Breaking the habit
Breaking the habit
Tonight

In the end
It starts with…
One thing,
I don’t know why,
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try,
Keep that in mind,
I designed this rhyme,
To explain in due time,
All I know?
Time is a valuable thing,
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings,
Watch it count down ’till the end of the day,
The clock ticks life away,
It’s so unreal?
You didn’t look out below,
Watch the time go right out the window,

Tryin to hold on,
Didn’t even know, I wasted it all just to
watch you go?
I kept everything inside,
And even though I tried,
It all fell apart,
What it meant to me
Will eventually be,
A memory of a time when
I tried so hard and got so far,
But in the end,
It doesn’t even matter,
I had to fall,
To lose it all,
But in the end,
It doesn’t even matter,

One thing, I don’t know why,
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try,
Keep that
in mind,
I designed this rhyme,
To remind myself how
I tried so hard…
In spite of the way you were mocking me,
Acting like I was part of your property,
Remembering all the times you fought with me,
I’m surprised it
got so(far)?
Things aren’t the way they were before,
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore,
Not that you knew me back then,
But it all comes back to me,
In the end…
You kept everything inside,
And even though I tried it all fell apart,
What it meant to me
Will eventually,
Be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard and got so far,
But in the end,
It doesn’t even matter,
I had to fall,
To lose it all,
But in the end,
It doesn’t even matter,
I’ve put my trust in you,
Pushed as far as I can go,
For all this,
There’s only one thing you should know,
I’ve put my trust in you,
Pushed as far as I can go,
For all this,
There’s only one thing you should know…
I tried so hard and got so far,
but in the end,
it doesn’t even matter,
I had to fall,
to lose it all,
but in the end,
it doesn’t even matter

Somewhere I belong
(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)

But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
[Chorus]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve held so long
(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
‘Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
[Repeat Chorus]
I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wou
nds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I’ll find myself today
[Repeat Chorus]
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

evanescence—all of me
I’m so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
‘Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won’t leave me alone
These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus:]
When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I’m bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase
[Chorus]
I’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone
But though you’re still with me
I’ve been alone all along
[Chorus]
