Untitled (Doesn't Even Matter) [Complete Demos CD Version)

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]

It starts with one / then spreads until the world feels spun

And under the burning sun you chase what’s yet to come

But if it slips away, there's nowhere left to run

Cracks appear / it’s all so surreal

They're pulling strings to shape the end of what you feel

Sending you back to places that reveal

The cracks within / before they start to heal

And still, they hide behind their lies

With shadows cast by fading skies

And shining through a broken steel

Reflecting all your hopes and fears

As I write this down, the way I feel

Hear the echoes in my mind

As it seems you played your part so well

Like you’re heartless, tearing apart this shell

In the darkness / I know I've tried so hard

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]

I tried so hard / and got so far

Yet, in the end / it’s broken hearts that matter

I had to lose / to understand

But, in the end / it doesn't even matter

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]

I’ve looked ahead / and what I see is not what should be

Bound by the scars they fought to hide from me

Trying to make me part of their history

And now I realize I’ve got no choice

No respite / deceivers and liars lead to wrong turns

And as the tightrope narrows / begins to fray

I can only hope they turn their gaze away

From the twilight through the broken glass

And the shimmer on a steel facade

See the glow within your face

As I write this down, guided by what I feel

Hear the voices in my dreaming

As it seems you played your part so well

Like you’re heartless, tearing apart this shell

In the darkness / yet I know I've tried so hard

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]

I tried so hard / and got so far

Yet, in the end / it’s broken hearts that matter

I had to lose / to understand

But, in the end / it doesn't even matter

[Bridge: Chester Bennington]

I place my trust / in you

Push as far as I can go

Through it all / there’s only one thing

You should know

I place my trust / in you

Push as far as I can go

Through it all / there’s only one thing

You should know

I place my trust / in you

Push as far as I can go

Through it all / there’s only one thing

You should know

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]

I tried so hard / and got so far

But, in the end / it doesn't even matter

I had to fall / to lose it all

But, in the end / it doesn't even matter
