By The Time You Hear This

By the time you hear this my time is up
I was dealt a bad hand and I tried my luck
Scared of my own shadow and the sight of blood
But I think I met the reaper last night, he won
By the time you hear this, know the time has passed
It was getting too heavy, dropped the flag in the final lap
Run in place, going nowhere fast
I wasn't brave, I just held it back, yeah
Lot of weight carried on my shoulders
In the end guess it mattered too much
Shout out Mike Shinoda
Sorry I'm gone
Remember me every time you play this song
You came along at the
Wrong place
At the wrong time
Why the long face?
Why the long sigh?
Lot of dark days
Little sunshine
Every small hill was a rock climb
Every mountain was a mudslide
Never told you

What's going down, what's going down
What's going down, I'm giving up
I'm slowing down, I'm slowing down
I'm slowing down, no letting up
Just let it go, just let it go
Just let it go, can't turn it off
Can't shut it out, can't shut it out
Can't shut it out, can't-

Maybe find peace in a different life
They'll find solace in the pieces I left behind
Maybe taking pills coulda fixed my mind
Or maybe met someone new
And get stopped in the nick of time, to say
Can't promise that one day the pain'll be gone
But right now it's painful to watch
And I feel just as lost as you
But it's not worth following through
Cause you still haven't met all the people you gonna love
Wanna see change, you ain't willing to budge
Spend a lot of days like a stick in the mud
If you won't listen to my voice, maybe listen to one
Think of all the songs that you never made
Think of all the friends you would devastate
And your family wonders what they didn't say
When there's one less body on the couch on Christmas Day
All your pets feel betrayed cause they don't know what happened
And if you'll be gone, then who gon look after 'em?
Millions of questions that never get answered
The concept of hope is so hard to imagine
Robbing the world of your potential
Lower that gun from your temple
You would leave knowing all of their hearts are broken
All cause you never told em

What's going down, what's going down
What's going down, I'm giving up
I'm slowing down, I'm slowing down
I'm slowing down, no letting up
Just let it go, just let it go
Just let it go, can't turn it off
Can't shut it out, can't shut it out
Can't shut it out, can't-

What's going down, what's going down
What's going down, I'm giving up
I'm slowing down, I'm slowing down
I'm slowing down, no letting up
Just let it go, just let it go
Just let it go, can't turn it off
Can't shut it out, can't shut it out
Can't shut it out, can't shut it out
