We all know it started with one thing, and we don't know why. But I'm here to tell you that it does matter how hard you try. Trying is the stepping stone to doing--so please try, and do, because in the end, you do matter

To me, this is more than just a Persona and Linkin Park mashup. We're talking worlds collide, Collision Course 2. I've taken pain and turned it into fun. I've taken the good and magnified it's blessings. I've rapped, sang, screamed, and harmonized. I've shown both my masculine side, as well as my feminine side. But for all this, there's only one thing you should know:

Looking back at the past, reflecting on the memories, combined with everything leading up to now, is evidence to steer clear... And yet--

Here are the modified lyrics:

(Verse 1)
It starts with One (1)
One thing I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Tryna hold on, but didn't even know
I wasted it all just to watch you go
I'll never keep it deep inside
And even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me
Would eventually
Be a memory of a time when I tried so hard

(Chorus 1)
I tried so hard and got so far
But 1N 2H3_3ND, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But 1N_7H3 3ND, it doesn't even matter

(Verse 2)
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mockin' me
Acting like I was part of your property
ACTING LIKE YOU NEVER CARED OR LOVED ME
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I can't believe things got so far
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore XOXO
Yes, that--you knew me right then
But it all comes back to me
1N_7H3_3ND
I'll never keep it deep inside and even though I tried
It all fell apart
What it meant to me would eventually
Be a memory of a time you should try so hard

(Chorus 2)
You should try so hard
And get so far
But 1N_2H3 3ND, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But 1N 7H3_3ND, it doesn't even matter

(5070 8R1D63)
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know

(3H0RU5)
I've tried so hard and got so far
But 1N_7H3_3ND, it doesn't even matter
I had to fall to lose it all
But 1N_7H3_3ND, I wish that it mattered
