Waiting For The End★
★Linkin Park Lyrics

This is not the end
The current situation is not the end of everything.

This is not the beginning
The current situation is not the start of everything.

Just a voice like a riot
A strong voice that causes a wild reaction.

Rocking every revision
Creating a commotion with every change or review.

But you listen to the tone
But you pay attention to the way it sounds.

And the violent rhythm
And the aggressive beat.

And though the words sound steady
And despite the words sounding confident.

Something empty's within 'em
There is a feeling of hollowness or lacking inside.

We say, "yeah"
We express agreement or excitement by saying "yeah".

With fists flying up in the air
And by raising our fists in the air.

Like we're holding onto something
As if we are grasping onto something tightly.

That's invisible there
But in reality, there is nothing tangible to hold.

'Cause we're living at the mercy of
Because we are vulnerable to

The pain and the fear
The uncomfortable feelings of hurt and worry.

Until we get, forget it
Until we find it or let it go.

Let it all disappear
Allow it to fade away and be gone.

Waiting for the end to come
Anticipating the end of the current situation.

Wishing I had strength to stand
Wanting to feel strong and capable of enduring.

This is not what I had planned
The current situation is not what was originally intended.

It's out of my control
I cannot have power over what is happening.

Flying at the speed of light
Moving very quickly.

Thoughts were spinning in my head
Having many thoughts that are going around in my mind.

So many things were left unsaid
There are many things that were not expressed or communicated.

It's hard to let you go
Allowing someone or something to be gone is difficult.

(Oh) I know what it takes to move on
I am aware of what is required to move forward from this situation.

I know how it feels to lie
I understand what it is like to not tell the truth.

All I wanna do
All I want to do.

Is trade this life for something new
Is to exchange my current life for something different or better.

Holding on to what I haven't got
Trying to keep what is not present or attainable.

Sitting in an empty room
Being alone in a room that is devoid of anything meaningful.

Trying to forget the past
Attempting to leave behind what has already happened.

This was never meant to last
This situation was not intended to be permanent.

I wish it wasn't so
I wish it was different.

What was left when that fire was gone?
What remains when the passion or intensity has disappeared?

I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
I believed that it was correct, but it turned out to be incorrect.

All caught up in the eye of the storm
Being stuck in the center of a chaos or turmoil.

And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And attempting to comprehend how to proceed from here.

And I don't even know what kind of things I've said
I am unaware of the things I have spoken.

My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
I kept talking even though I was not thinking deeply.

So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
So now, where can I start to fix what is broken?

The hardest part of ending is starting again
The most difficult aspect of finishing is beginning anew.
