Esaul (hybridtheory.com 2000 Demo) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda with Chester Bennington]
(Oh)
Ridin' with the head full of buckets of red
And what I said still stuck in my head
But misled, thinkin' the things that you would make you never wanna come back
But an on-front attack
So you could never run from that
Bein' trapped in this with you
Somethin' that I never wanted to do
But through it all, you got to see
That where I want to be is over the pen again
Lettin' it out of me
In the center of the day, in a dream
Seein' all my thoughts getting lost in between
Realizin' one not the way that it seems
And the killin' of the killer with a head full of screams

[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(Start seein' it's not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
We're gonna be crushed when it all falls apart
Knowin' no matter how low
Hopin' that you won't know the strain it puts to me
Seein' what you've done inconsequently
I've run away, just hidden again
Within the boundaries of an anguish
Don't want me to say this
But you're draggin' me down
Lost in the chaos, bein' tossed around
Singin' again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that someday, you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine
Singin' again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that someday, you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic of my confine
[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(Start seein' it's not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away

You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(Start seein' it's not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

[Interlude: Chester Bennington]
Take…
A…
Way

[Outro: Mike Shinoda with Chester Bennington]
Singin' again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that someday, you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine
(Ahhh)
Singin' again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that someday, you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine
(Ahhh)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
