Music Video

The music video was shot mainly in Prague, where the appearance of the band was turned into a cathedral because of health problems of Chester Bennington in Los Angeles. It was directed by the band's DJ Joe Hahn.

The video is about a young student, played by Briana Evigan, which is socially excluded and struggling with inner problems. She is introverted and spends her time drawing pictures, which is a reference to the song Breaking the Habit, which was originally Drawing. At school she is doing teased and ridiculed by teachers and students. As it falls, it helps no one, and when she sits down to other girls, they get up and leave. On her left arm, the word " Numb " (Eng. " uncaring " ) is carved. In her room, she throws out their anger and despair drawing against the wall and finally runs into that cathedral, in which the band played as if they had heard the band, but this is gone without a trace.
