Graffiti decorations, under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension, still giving me away

The lessons I've forgotten
In spite of all I've learned

Now I find myself in question, poi-point the finger at me again
Quilty by association, poi-point the finger at me again

I wanna run away, I wanna run away
I wanna know the truth, I wanna know the truth
I wanna know the answers, I wanna know the answers
I wanna shut the door, and open up my mind
And open up my mind, and open up my mind

Paper bags and angry voices, under a sky of grey
This constant apprehension, won't seem to go away

All my talk of starting over, these words were never true
Now I find myself in question, poi-point the finger at me again
Quilty bt association, poi-point the finger at me again

I wanna run away, I wanna run away
I wanna know the truth, I wanna know the truth
I wanna know the answers, I wanna know the answers
I wanna shut the door, and open up my mind
And open up my mind, and open up my mind

Gonna run away, gonna run away
Gonna run away, gonna run away

I don't think you all are ready for what I'm about to do
You all new school dudes ain't even got no clue

How dare you forget about Bam'n'Zooloo
WHo workin jazzy, they paved the way

Let me spin it to you all who said I wasn't gonna make it
Everytime mine plays, you're the first to hate it

My team's really keys it supreme stay strong
Got the true series son, they scared to put us on

Can't get with the high praise, get off your high atus
Too many others diein for us, so I got us blazin

I'm still rippin BK Brooklyn Vietnam
Hell fightin family alienation

Bangin hits in the bacyard on the LP lawn
I'm the new Phoenix Orion

I wanna run away, I wanna run away
I wanna know the truth, I wanna know the truth
I wanna know the answers, I wanna know the answers
I wanna shut the door, and open up my mind
And open up my mind, and open up my mind

    General Comment:there were few songs of hybrid theory that were'nt much appealing, ie; runaway, a place for... & forgotten. these three were better in this reanimation album, especially frg 10 , the added lyrics (rap portion) were critical but soooooooooooo real!!!!!!!

    General Comment:I thought the beginning of this song was neat. If they had extended the introduction to where it sounded like rain that would be really neat, but there's not much they can do about it now.

    And there are only a couple of lyrical mistakes, but it helps. Whatever sounds wrong, I guess, you can use your imagination to fill in, right?

    Cool.

    General Comment:Who is Phoenix Orion and why is he 'rapping' about himself in the middle of the song? Jesus, every rapper has turned into Eminem, doing that vain self-portrait/ranting approach to song-writing. This remixed version SOUNDS awesome, but the revised lyrics SUCK.

    General Comment:um.. it should be:
    I'm the lyrical mutant named Phoenix Orion

    instead of:
    I'm the new Phoenix Orion
