  • No control
    No surprise
    Toss the keys to the kingdom down the
    Hole in my eye
    I'm my own casualty
    I fuck up everything I see
    Fighting in futility

    It's our final war
    Tell me what's worth fighting for
    When we know there's nothing more
    Take the hand or fist
    Just to sell ourselves for this
    The path we least resist

    No control
    No surprise
    Toss the keys to the kingdom down the
    Hole in my eye
    I'm my own casualty
    I fuck up everything I see
    Fighting in futility

    Uh, I give you what you came for
    This is not the same though
    Got a different method
    But I still can bring the pain so
    Y'all all got that same flow
    I got that insane flow
    High as ya'll can get, you're never really in my range, though
    Yes I'm half anglo, half-fried panko
    All primetime rhymer, let that bass bang low
    All you fucking lames go
    aimin' at my name though
    Careful what you shoot, because you might hit what you aim for
    (Careful what you shoot, because you might hit what you aim for)

    No control
    No surprise
    Toss the keys to the kingdom down the
    Hole in my eye
    I'm my own casualty
    I fuck up everything I see
    Fighting in futility

    No control
    No surprise
    Toss the keys to the kingdom down the
    Hole in my eye
    I'm my own casualty Writer/s: Brad Delson, Chester Charles Bennington, David Farrell, Joseph Hahn, Mike Shinoda, Robert G. Bourdon
