What We Don't Know (2007 Demo)

If everything would just stop
Then maybe I could collect my thoughts
If everything would stand still
I could've hidden how lost I feel
I should've said what I hear
I should've let myself fear
I should've made myself clear

So this is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
And when we find we've lost our mark
We fake what we don't know

I never asked to let go
I never thought I could sink so low
I never let myself down
Until the second I did right now
I should've said what I hear
I should've let myself fear
I should've made myself clear

So this is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
And when we find we've lost our mark
We fake what we don't know
This is how we fall apart
This is how the ending starts
Cause when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know

Cause all we are is everything we've done
All we are is how quickly we run
And all we are

We are

This is how we fall apart
But this is how beginnings start
Cause when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know
And if our doubt begins again
The answers find us in the end
So in the meantime we'll pretend
And fake what we don't know

This is how we fall apart
But this is how beginnings start
Cause when our heads betray our hearts
We fake what we don't know
And if our doubt begins again
The answers find us in the end
So in the meantime we'll pretend
And fake what we don't know

I Have Not Begun (2009 Demo)

ladies and gents sorry to keep ya'll waiting
this goes out to everybody still hating
for those that fake / ya'll can keep on fakin'
i'm cooking a plate for you to stick your whole face in
tastes good don't it cousin? just so you know it's nothin'
i get you buggin' like some codiene in some robutussin
it's just the way that i approach each time
i slap the track and turn around and choke each rhyme

broadcast to the nation like NBC
with pages of 16s like an MPC
deliver an ass-whipping via MP3
giving you people more reality than MTV
do it PPV / snap necks with the pressure
make a mess / then carry you out on a stretcher
you could sue but / ooh the law won't protect ya
even the court room sketcher could not sketch ya

you're not following me / i got your number like
caller i.d. / try it / you can holler at me
i promise you pain / i will chop your body in threes
and you'll be sitting there stuttering / p-p-probabably
follow me / i got styles / you can copy one
back of your mind / i know you wanna stop me son
but here's news for you fucker: that can not be done
you can think that i'm finished i have not begun

im grinding / putting these kids to bed
you think you're hard-boiled / fucker you're an easter egg
you got a pastel shell and a soft inside / squash your pride
you think i fucking lost my mind / i'm not playing
i might as well be making a bomb
i lay you down to foundation when i'm taking you on
bet the farm on the rhyme for the sake of my mom
she's like / mike show these pigs what kind of bacon you're on

it's funny but don't laugh / money with no cash
the villain of vocab / i'm killing this notepad
the realest i wrote man / you don't even know half
i'm banking a full tank / you're running on low gas
take that / i'm cutting off your fun
you're nothing but a butter knife stopping a gun
we can dance but your chances are slim to none
and you can think that i'm finished i have not begun

got a razor-blade tongue and i get this done
no running just dumping on your clique for fun
machine shop got it locked like the game's a joke
say something funny get the whole gang provoked
better buckle down fucker / go get your own
we been working ten years just to get this known
the people on the block starting to get numb
they expect that its fresh when the new shit come

here it goes let em know they can fix the frown
railroad rap hot tracks running you down
and they ask and repeat how i do this now
like i'm really gonna tell em how i get this sound
we just do what we do give you that fix
we come in the back like we run this bitch
turn the lights down low / and we start the show
when i give it to ya / give it right back and it goes

take that / take that / cutting off your fun
you're nothing but a butter knife stopping a gun
we can dance but your chances are slim to none
you can think that i'm finished i have not begun
follow me / i got styles / you can copy one
back of your mind / i know you wanna stop me son
but here's news for you fucker: that can not be done
you can think that i'm finished i have not begun

Pretend to Be (2008 Demo)

You say that you're proud of me
(Oh)
Then you take something out of me
So predictable
Why do I have to see this through
Why do I have to take this
Isn’t there something I can do
To make myself finally say this

No
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see
You’re not the one that you pretend to be

You start with apologies
(Oh)
Then take another shot at me
So predictable
Why do I have to see this through
Why do I have to take this
Isn’t there something I can do
To make myself finally say this

No
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
You’re not the one that you pretend to be

No
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
You’re not the one that you pretend (this)

No
You’ve taken this too far
Exposing who you are
For all to see,
You’re not the one that you pretend to be

What I've Done (Mike Shinoda Remix)

In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies

So let mercy come
And wash away...

What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty

So let mercy come
And wash away...

What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done

For What I've done

I'll start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done

I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
What I've done

Forgiving what I've done
