Faint (Demo 2002) lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
Back, before I said goodbye
Just as the first day turned to night
Just as the concrete turned to dust
And the steel turned into rust
All I could think was a new way to dig through the damage
Couldn't think of a way to get through this
Now I see you taking advantage
And I find another reason to do this

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I'm digging us a hole to travel through
I wanna find a way to rattle you
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit?
You're gonna have to follow me under it
Let go, it's begun
Close your eyes, I'm not done
Breathe a word and waste your breath
And keep it up 'til there's nothing left

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Now that I said goodbye
Just as the darkness turned to light
Just as the next light turns to day
And the world gets underway
All I can see is the anticipation
Waiting to take this out on the wind and the raindrops
And I waited patiently, taking it in
Ready for the first of the face-offs
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
I'm digging us a hole to travel through
I wanna find a way to rattle you
You wanna try to hear the thunder hit?
You're gonna have to follow me under it
Let go, it's begun
Close your eyes, I'm not done
Breathe a word and waste your breath
And keep it up 'til there's nothing left

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
(I) I'm digging us a hole to travel through
(I) I wanna find a way to rattle you
(You) You wanna try to hear the thunder hit?
(You) You're gonna have to follow me under it
(I) I'm digging us a hole to travel through
(I) I wanna find a way to rattle you
(You) You wanna try to hear the thunder hit?
(You) You're gonna have to follow me under it
(I) I'm digging us a hole to travel through
(I) I wanna find a way to rattle you
(You) You wanna try to hear the thunder hit?
(You) You're gonna have to follow me under it
(I) Let go, it's begun
(I) Close your eyes, I'm not done
(You) Breathe a word and waste your breath
(You) And keep it up 'til there's nothing left
[Instrumental Outro]
