Memories consume
Like opening the wounds
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I have no options left again
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
Cause inside I realize that I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight
I'll paint it on the walls
Cause I'm the one at fault
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
To show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

This video is just a cheap pink floyd rip-off. As for the song, utter shit to me. I hate linkin Park. Every fucking song sounds the same. They have no variation whatsoever, and really need to do something different. All of these song are just annoying, there are nothing special about any of the videos, and thats why they made this animated peice of shit, that tries with no avail to look like portions of the wall. Horrible if you ask me. But thats my opinion

try to make a little more sense next time...but really, speak your mind when it comes to songs. As cobain said on a different song, "if everyone never said anything bad about songs, this site would be boring." People comment on songs to share their opinions about the song to other people. To let them know what the bands like, to let them know if they suck or not. i f you look at my comments, you would see that I usually say good things about bands, but I also share my opinions about bands that I dislike. And thats why we comment on bands that suck.

You should be feeling stupid. Your country is horrible and Bush sucks cock. And I don't think this because Eminem or any other artist says this but because I have my own opinion. And Bush really is a stupid monkey-like dumbfuck. The Americans who voted for him are even dumber. People come on, if you look in to this guys eyes you'll see he really is dumb. His policies are stupid aswell and a lot of Americans are nationalist just like the Germans were in the 1930's. they love their country so much and are all willing to die for it's believes. I saw Bush reading a letter he recieved from a little girl once and It said that she was willing to die for Her country if and she wanted to go to Irac and fight for her precious country. I think that just sick man. All those fundamental believe people have are wrong. In Iran it's the fundamental Islam what's wrong and In America it's the Fundamental Hollewood Freedom feeling that's wrong. Stop being like this you Sick Bastards!

What's the big deal Cobain? Would you stop bashing doing the same thing Eazy bone's doing, which is bashing our country? Who cares about who the f*ck is the president anyway? Election day is over and we ALL know that Bush is the president again. So what if he's president again? Who the f*ck cares anyway? This country is still a good country. Just because he's elected again doesn't mean that our country is f*cked up. Jesus Christ...you can bash Bush, but you CAN'T BASH AMERICA!!! It pisses me off...a lot. >:|

I Still hold mine opinions on America. Sure a lot of Americans are good people but The country and it's believes are going to far for me. And I Fucking HATE Nationalism. I'm not going to say Netherlands Rule, Netherlands rule all the time just because I live here. And I don't love my country. I think it's a nice country to live in becuase We have lot's of freedom (Probably way more then in the USA). But Nationalism is a bad thing. My comment was really focused on Bush. But more on Your Country. Let it go. America isn't that great. Like 60% of the World hate Americans and you people are have gone to far in your thurst for power all around the globe. Go solve your own problems in your country first. And Stay away from the rets of the world!

I'm not stereotyping! I said a lot of Americans are nationalist. And they go too far. I know it's a beautiful country and all. But a lot of people who live there are way too Proud about their country. I also live in a country with a lot of freedom but I'm saying OMG The Netherlands rule so bad, all the time. And when we see our Flag nobody gives a fuck. Your too proud and that what's wrong with American. For the rest Americans are ok. Except for Bush and Bob Saget of course.
I'm not really sure if you were talking to me or murder-americans but Rush?? Rush isn't from my country. We do have loads of beer, but Rush?

I don't Hate my country but I don't love it. I spoke about it today and it appears to be a fact the Dutch are the least nationalist people on the planet. Maybe that the reason I hate American Pride so much. I dislike every kind of Pride for their country but I guess it's ok. With Americans it's just so excessive, And loads of movies and are from hollewood and their always way too excessive, maybe I have a wrong picture of your country, maybe not
