[Intro: Chester Bennington]
…Room to breathe
'Bout to…
Break
Breathe
I'm about to break
Breathe
I need room to breathe
Breathe
I need room to breathe
Breathe
I need room to breathe
[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
I cannot take this anymore
Saying everything I've said before
All these words, they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Less I hear, the less you say
You'll find that out anyway
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts, they make no sense
I found bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
[Interlude: Chester Bennington]
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Just like before
Like before
Like before
Like before
Like before
[Chorus: Chester Bennington with Mike Shinoda]
Everything you say to me…
And I'm about to break (Like before)
I need a little room to breathe…
And I'm about to break (Like before)
Everything you say to me…
And I'm about to break (Like before)
I need a little room to breathe…
And I'm about to break (Like before)
[Verse 3: Jonathan Davis, Chester Bennington]
These are the places where I can feel
Torn from my body, my flesh, it peels
During this ride, we can cut up what we like (I'm about to break)
Waiting alone, I cannot resist
Feeling this hate I have never missed
Please, someone give me a reason to rip off my face
Blood is a-pouring, and pouring, and pouring
And pouring, and pouring, and pouring, and pouring
And pouring, and pouring, and pouring, and pouring (Shut up when I'm talkin' to you)
[Bridge: Chester Bennington, Jonathan Davis]
Shut up (Blood is pouring)
Shut up (Blood is pouring)
Shut up (Blood is pouring)
Shut up when I'm talkin' to you
Shut up (Blood is pouring)
Shut up (Blood is pouring)
Shut up (Blood is pouring)
Shut up
I'm about to break
[Chorus: Chester Bennington with Jonathan Davis, with Mike Shinoda]
Everything you say to me… I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe… I'm about to break
Everything you say to me… and I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe… and I'm about to…
Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe
('Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
I'm about to break)
Everything you say to me
(Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break)
I need a little room to breathe
('Cause I'm one step closer to the edge)
And I'm about to…
…Room to breathe
'Bout to…
Break
Breathe
I'm about to break
Breathe
I need room to breathe
Breathe
I need room to breathe
Breathe
I need room to breathe
[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
I cannot take this anymore

All these words, they make no sense

Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Over and over again
Just like before
Like before
Like before
Like before
Like before
[Chorus: Chester Bennington with Mike Shinoda]
Everything you say to me…
And I'm about to break (Like before)
I need a little room to breathe…
And I'm about to break (Like before)

I need a little room to breathe

And I'm about to…
