By Myself (Demo) Lyrics
So, what do you think?
What do I do to ignore what's behind me?
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams
and give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I let it go and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust none and live in loneliness?
Because sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself (myself)
Chorus
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
When I’m against you, I can’t win
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to give in to fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride I’ll lye sleepless
and won’t be able to cope with my weakness
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself (myself)
Chorus
How do you think I've lost so much
always afraid that I’m out of touch
How do you expect I’ll know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to
Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside x2
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
When I’m against you, I can’t win
With thoughts of failure sinking in
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
When you’re against me, I can’t win
With thought of failure from where?
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly?
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams
and give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I let it go and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust none and live in loneliness?
Because sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns but I'm lost within
I put on my daily facade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself (myself)
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
When I’m against you, I can’t win
With thoughts of failure sinking in
And to give in to fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride I’ll lye sleepless
and won’t be able to cope with my weakness
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
By myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself (myself)
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself (myself)
always afraid that I’m out of touch
How do you expect I’ll know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside x2
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
When I’m against you, I can’t win
With thoughts of failure sinking in
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can’t hold on
When you’re against me, I can’t win
With thought of failure from where?

cool
this is also know as SuperXero
No actually this is a totally different song, similar lyrics but not the same song as superxero which has been posted as well. www.robengel.com has an audio section with all of the demos including superxero and this one
This song is also known as SUperXero because 'Xero' was one of the bands titles before Linkin Park, or even Hybrid Theory. They Rock.
Well actually, before they named themselves Xero, they actually called themselves SuperXero. Anyway, there's a couple of mistakes in the lyrics... Like when it says, "Or do I trust none and live in loneliness?" it's supposed to say "live LIFE in loneliness?" And also there's not supposed to be another "(myself)" just before the chorus after the verses.
