[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
(When this began) I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused) And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me) But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
(Nothing to lose) Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own

[Chorus: Eminem]
I'ma wash away my sins
I’ma rinse away this dirt
I forgot to make amends
To all the friends I may have hurt
I better stop and say my grace
From it I pray that I don't fall
'Cause on the way back down I may
End up running back into them all
I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused) Looking everywhere, only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I?) What do I have but negativity?
'Cause I can’t justify the way everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose) Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own

[Chorus: Eminem]
I’ma wash away my sins
I'ma rinse away this dirt
I forgot to make amends
To all the friends I may have hurt
I better stop and say my grace
From it I pray that I don’t fall
'Cause on the way back down I may
End up running back into them all

[Bridge: Eminem]
I just wish I had words, but I guess there just are none for this
To my partners, I can't say how sorry I am
This is not how I planned for our story to end
I love all of you men
But I just can't be the guy everybody depends
On for entire careers ’cause that's not even fair
I will always be here, but that spark isn't there
And I don't know how to recapture that time and that era
I've tried hearkening back to, but I'm fighting for air

[Chorus: Eminem]
I'ma wash away my sins
I'ma rinse away this dirt
I forgot to make amends
To all the friends I may have hurt
I better stop and say my grace
From it I pray that I don't fall
'Cause on the way back down I may
End up running back into them all

[Outro: Eminem & Mike Shinoda]
Down to the river with you
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
Help me leave this all behind (Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
Down to the river with you
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
Help me leave this all behind (Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I never meant to use you all as my stepping stones
