Eminem
Silent Drowning
[Intro: Chester Bennington "KIISFM 102.7 Interview"]
I know that for me, when I'm in my own head. This place right here, that is a bad neighborhood. This is a bad place for me to be by myself. When I'm in that, my whole life gets thrown off. If I'm in there, I don't say nice things to myself. There's another Chester in there that's like wants to take me down. Being with other people, like being a dad, being a husband, being a bandmate, being a friend, helping someone out… If I'm out of myself, I'm great. If I'm inside all the time, I'm horrible — I'm a mess

[Verse 1: Eminem "Beautiful"]
I'm just so fuckin' depressed
I just can't seem to get out this slump
If I could just get over this hump
But I need something to pull me out this dump
I took my bruises, took my lumps
Fell down and I got right back up
But I need that spark to get psyched back up
In order for me to pick the mic back up
I don't know how or why or when I ended up in this position I'm in
I'm starting to feel distant again
So I decided just to pick this pen
Up and try to make an attempt to vent
But I just can't admit
Or come to grips with the fact that I may be done with rap
I need a new outlet, and I know some shit's so hard to swallow
But I just can't sit back and wallow
In my own sorrow
But I know one fact I'll be one tough act to follow
One tough act to follow
I'll be one tough act to follow
One tough act to follow
Here today, gone tomorrow
(Here today, gone tomorrow
Here today, gone tomorrow)

[Hook: Skylar Grey "Rescue Me"]
So can you rescue me?
Can you rescue me?
Drowning at sea?
So can you rescue me from me?
Can you rescue me

[Hook 2: Chester Bennington "I'LL BE GONE"]
And tell them I couldn't help myself
And tell them I was alone
Oh, tell me I am the only one
And there's nothing that can stop me
I'll be gone

[Verse 2: Eminem "Beautiful"]
Nobody asked for life to deal us
With these bullshit hands we're dealt
We gotta take these cards ourselves
And flip them, don't expect no help
Now I could have either just
Sat on my ass and pissed and moaned
Or take this situation in which I'm placed in
And get up and get my own
I was never the type of kid
To wait by the door and pack his bags
Who sat on the porch and hoped and prayed
For a dad to show up who never did
I just wanted to fit in
In every single place
Every school I went
I dreamed of being that cool kid
Even if it meant acting stupid
Aunt Edna always told me "Keep makin' that face it'll get stuck like that"
Meanwhile I'm just standin' there
Holdin' my tongue tryna talk like this
'Til I stuck my tongue on that frozen stop sign pole at 8 years old
I learned my lesson then cause I wasn't tryna impress my friends no more
But I already told you my whole life story
Not just based on my description
'Cause where you see it from where you're sitting
It's probably 110% different
I guess we would have to walk a mile
In each other's shoes, at least
What size you wear? I wear tens
Let's see if you can fit your feet

[Hook: Skylar Grey "Rescue Me"]
Can you rescue me?
Drowning at sea?
So can you rescue me from me?

[Hook 2: Chester Bennington "I'LL BE GONE"]
And tell them I couldn't help myself
And tell them I was alone
Oh, tell me I am the only one
And there's nothing that can stop me
I'll be gone
