POINTS PF AUTHORITY
Linkin Park Lyrics

Forfeit the game
Stop playing this manipulative game of hurting others for your own pleasure.

Before somebody else
Act fast before others can reveal your true intentions.

Takes you out of the frame
Exposes you for who you really are and removes you from societal norms.

And puts your name to shame
Creates a negative reputation for yourself that is difficult to overcome.

Cover up your face
Hide your identity because you know you are committing wrongdoings.

You can't run the race
You cannot continue to hurt others and win in the end.

The pace is too fast
You are moving too quickly with your manipulative tactics and will ultimately crash and burn.

You just won't last
Your actions will eventually catch up to you, causing your downfall.

You love the way I look at you
You enjoy the attention and admiration even when you are doing wrong.

While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You derive pleasure from hurting others even if it means causing them pain.

You take away if I give in
You rob others of what they hold dear if they let you manipulate them.

My life, my pride is broken
Your actions have the power to completely shatter someone's sense of self and purpose.

You like to think you're never wrong
You believe that you are always right, even when you hurt others.

(You live what you've learned)
Your behavior stems from past experiences and learned behaviors.

You have to act like you're someone
You put on a facade to make yourself appear a certain way to others to further your manipulations.

You want someone to hurt like you
You seek to bring others down to your level of pain and misery.

You want to share what you've been through
You want others to experience the same pain and trauma you have, even if it means causing harm to them.

You love the things I say I'll do
You enjoy when others promise to do things for you, even if it may cause harm to them.

The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take pleasure in seeing others hurt themselves to get revenge on you.

You take away when I give in
You continually take things away from someone when they give in to your manipulations.

You like to think you're never wrong
You continue to believe that your actions are justified even when they cause harm to others.

(Forfeit the game)
Reiterating the need to stop playing this manipulative game and causing harm to others.

(you live what you've learned)
Reiterating the fact that your manipulative behavior stems from past experiences and learned behaviors.

You have to act like you're someone
Reiterating the fact that you put on a facade to manipulate others for your own gain.

You want someone to hurt like you
Reiterating the fact that you seek to cause pain to others to bring them down to your level of misery.

You want to share what you've been through
