“From the Inside” is Linkin Park’s fourth single and tenth track on their Meteora record.
Dave “Phoenix” Farrell came up with the original guitar idea for this song while recording with Mike in the back of the tour bus during the summer of 2002. The song’s 6/8 time signature created an opportunity...
[Verse 1: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I don't know who to trust, no surprise
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Tryin' not to break, but I'm so tired of this deceit
Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
(I) All I ever think about is this, all the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear, for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
Tension is building inside, steadily
Everyone feels so far away from me
Heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Tryin' not to break, but I'm so tired of this deceit

(I) All I ever think about is this, all the tiring time between
And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear, for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
I won't waste myself on you, you, you
Waste myself on you, you, you
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'll take everything from the inside
And throw it all away
'Cause I swear, for the last time
I won't trust myself with you
Everything from the inside
And just throw it all away
'Cause I swear, for the last time
I won't trust myself with you, you, you

Phoenix came up with the original guitar idea for this song while recording with Mike in the back of the tour bus during the summer 2002.
