[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
I'm dancing with my demons
I'm hanging off the edge
Storm clouds gather beneath me
Waves break above my head

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda]
Headfirst hallucination
I wanna fall wide awake now

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Steven McKellar & Jon Green]
You tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven tonight
But nobody can save me now
I'm holding up a light
Chasing out the darkness inside
'Cause nobody can save me

[Verse 2: Steven McKellar, Mike Shinoda]
Stared into this illusion (Whoa-ooh, ooh-ooh)
For answers yet to come (Whoa-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I chose a false solution (Whoa-ooh, ooh-ooh)
But nobody proved me wrong (Whoa-ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Pre-Chorus: Steven McKellar, with Mike Shinoda]
Headfirst hallucination
I wanna fall wide awake
Watch the ground giving way now
[Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Steven McKellar & Jon Green]
You tell me it's alright
Tеll me I'm forgiven tonight
But nobody can save mе now
I'm holding up a light
I'm chasing out the darkness inside
'Cause nobody can save me

[Bridge: Steven McKellar, Mike Shinoda, Jon Green]
Been searching somewhere out there
(Whoa-ooh, ooh-ooh)
For what's been missing right here
(I wanna fall wide awake now)
I've been searching somewhere out there
(Whoa-ooh, ooh-ooh)
For what's been missing right here
I wanna fall wide awake now

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Steven McKellar & Jon Green]
So tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven tonight
And only I can save me now
I'm holding up a light
I'm chasing out the darkness inside
And I don't wanna let you down
But only I can save me
[Outro: Steven McKellar]
Been searching somewhere out there
For what's been missing right here
