[Chorus Mike Shinoda] These days are dark and the nights are cold People acting like they lost their soul And everywhere I go, I see another person like me Trying to make it all feel like home These days are dark and the nights are cold People acting like they lost their soul And everywhere I go, I see another person like me Trying to make it all feel like home [Verse 1 Mike Shinoda] Standing on a bridge in the dark and Im seeing my breath Trying to make it home without freezing to death And my Grandfathers face is stuck in my mind And how seeing him tonights gonna be the last time I shouldve brought a jacket Blowing in my hands like its really gonna stop the chill I buy a cup of coffee with a five dollar bill Thinking laying in that box, people look so still At times like these, you start thinking Your first breath in and the clock starts ticking Im not trying to bum anyone out Not trying to be dramatic, just thinking out loud Im just trying to make some sense in my mind Some defense from the cold that Im feeling outside And for a minute, escape with some rhythm and rhyme And get away from the grey just a bit at a time [Verse 2 Ryu] Yeah, kind of funny how this world can treat you Like a freak in a sideshow, a carnival creature Climbing out of cans, Im a diamond in the sand But you cant tell the difference on a beach full of rhinestones My lifes like trying to swallow a pine cone Its tough when you live fast just to die slow Talk to dial tones, my dreams are far fetched It seems, so I sleep underneath this park bench I know it dont make sense And I dont expect for you to know what its like Smoke, drink, piss, sniffing everything in my sight Push rocks in a pipe Lift off, Ill keep puffing til my lips turn white And my chest gets tight, but who the fuck really cares When youre so far left that even death looks right All I can do is hope for the best and pray That it gets a little better than yesterday These [Chorus Mike Shinoda] These days are dark and the nights are cold People acting like they lost their soul And everywhere I go, I see another person like me Trying to make it all feel like home These days are dark and the nights are cold People acting like they lost their soul And everywhere I go, I see another person like me Trying to make it all feel like home [Verse 3 Tak] Yo, pardon me, I think Im next to hurl Too many problems going on, thats why I left my girl Packed my backs and I travel with a pen and my notepad They said I was broken, all the things that I dont have But still, I try to find a way to escape From all the hate planted in my head which lead to mistakes But now Im breaking the mold, see I was patient and calm Many sleep in the rain, but now Im awake in the storm Writin my life in the short film, the rise and the fall How I managed to scorch hills and climb the wall Pound pavement, aimless in this cold existence Even though things are changing, Im going the distance Overcoming the doubt that had control for so long To put it all behind me cause life still goes on Now Im much stronger and know where I stand While lost souls search over and over again [Chorus Mike Shinoda] These days are dark and the nights are cold People acting like they lost their soul And everybodys trying not to cry Trying to get by and trying not to feel outta control And if you look hard enough, sometimes youll find A place that might just remind you of home But if it doesnt feel like home, you can do what I do Just pretend you dont feel so alone [Outro] Feel like home Feel like home Feel like home Feel like home Feel like home Feel like home Feel like home Feel like home
