Linkin Park Lyrics

"Waiting For The End"
[Mike:]
Yeah!
Yo!
This is not the end, this is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone and the violent
rhythm
And though the words sound steady
something empty's within them
We say yeah with fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's
invisible there
'Cause we're living at the mercy of the pain
and the fear
Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear

[Chester:]
Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control
Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts were spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go

(Oh) I know what it takes to move on
(Oh) I know how it feels to lie
(Oh) All I want to do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last
I wish it wasn't so

(Oh) I know what it takes to move on
(Oh) I know how it feels to lie
(Oh) All I want to do

(Yeah, yeah!)

[Mike:]
What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right but that right was
wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like
moving on
And I don't even know what kind of things I
said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went
dead
So I'm picking up the pieces, now where to
begin
The hardest part of ending is starting again

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chester ('til end):]
All I want to do
I'm holding on to what I haven't got
I'm holding on to what I haven't got

[Mike:]
This is not the end, this is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision
(I'm holding on to what I haven't got) But
you listen to the tone and the violent
rhythm
Though the words sound steady something
empty's within them
We say yeah with fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something that's
invisible there
(Holding on to what I haven't got) 'Cause
we're living at the mercy of the pain and the
fear
Until we get it, forget it, let it all disappear

"In My Remains"
Separate
Sifting through the wreckage
I can't concentrate
Searching for a message
In the fear and pain
Broken down and waiting
For the chance to feel alive

Now in my remains
Are promises that never came
Set the silence free
To wash away the worst of me

Come apart
Falling in the cracks
Of every broken heart
Digging through the wreckage
Of your disregard
Sinking down and waiting
For the chance to feel alive

Now in my remains

Like an army, falling
One by one by one
One by one by one
One by one by one
One by one by one

Now in my remains

One by one by one
One by one by one

"Burn It Down"
The cycle repeated
As explosions broke in the sky
All that I needed
Was the one thing I couldn't find

And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know

[Chorus:]
We're building it up
To break it back down
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground

The colors conflicted
As the flames climbed into the clouds.
I wanted to fix this
But couldn't stop from tearing it down.

Caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know

[Chorus:]
To burn it down
We can't wait

You told me, "Yes"
You held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played soldier, you played king
And struck me down, when I kissed that
ring
You lost that right, to hold that crown
I built you up, but you let me down
So when you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn

Waiting to let me know

[Chorus:]
To burn it down
We can't wait

When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn

We can't wait

When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn

We can't wait

"I'll Be Gone"
Like shining oil, this night is dripping down
Stars are slipping down, glistening
And I'm trying not to think what I'm leaving
now
No deceiving now, it's time you let me
know.
Let me know

[Chorus:]
When the lights go out and we open our
eyes,
Out there in the silence, I'll be gone, I'll be
gone.
Let the sun fade out and another one rise
Climbing through tomorrow, I'll be gone, I'll
be gone.

This air between us is getting thinner now
Into winter now. Bitter sweet
And 'cross that horizon this sun is setting
down
You're forgetting now, it's time you let me
go, let me go

[Chorus:]
eyes,
gone.
be gone.

[Bridge:]
And tell them I couldn't tell myself
And tell them I was alone
Oh, tell me I am the only one
And there's nothing that can stop me.

[Chorus:]
eyes,
gone.
be gone, I'll be gone.

"Castle Of Glass"
Take me down to the river bend
Take me down to the fighting end
Wash the poison from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again

Fly me up on a silver wing
Past the black where the sirens sing
Warm me up in a nova's glow
And drop me down to the dream below

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see

Bring me home in a blinding dream,
Through the secrets that I have seen
Wash the sorrow from off my skin
And show me how to be whole again

For you to see

Hardly anything else I need to be

For you to see
For you to see

"Leave Out All The Rest"
I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
'Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some
Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid
I've taken my beating
I've shared what I've made
I'm strong on the surface
Not all the way through
I've never been perfect
But neither have you

So if you're asking me
I want you to know

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Don't resent me

Forgetting all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself
I can't be who you are

[Chorus]
When my time comes
Don't resent me

Forgetting all the hurt inside
You've learned to hide so well
Pretending someone else can come
And save me from myself

"Bleed It Out"
Yeah here we go for the hundredth time
Hand grenade pins in every line

Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my fucking mind

Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose

String me up from atop these roofs
Knot it tight so i won't get loose

Truth is you can stop and stare
Run myself out and no one cares

Dug the trench out laid down there
With a shovel up out of reach somewhere

Yeah, someone pour it in
Make it a dirt dance floor again

Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in

[Chorus]
I bleed it out digging deeper
Just to throw it away




I bleed it out
[End Chorus]

Go stop the show
Choppy words and a sloppy flow

Shotgun opera lock and load
Cock it back and then watch it go

Mama help me I've been cursed
Death is rolling in every verse

Candy paint on his brand new hearse
Can't contain him he knows he works

Fuck this hurts, I won't lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try

Half the words don't mean a thing
And I know that I wont be satisfied

So why try ignoring him
Make it a dirt dance floor again

Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in

[Chorus]




I bleed it out

I've opened up these scars
I'll make you face this

I've pulled myself so far
I'll make you, face, this, now!!!!

[Chorus]








I bleed it out
I bleed it out
I bleed it out

"Lost In The Echo"
(yeah) (yo)
You were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no.
I followed, so taken
So conditioned I could never let go
Then sorrow, then sickness
Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious
So afraid I couldn't let myself see
That I could never be held
Back or up no, I'll hold myself
Check the rep, yep you know mine well
Forget the rest let them know my hell
There and back yet my soul ain't sell
Kept respect up,the best they fell,
Let the rest be the tale they tell
That I was there saying

[Chorus]
[Chester:]
And these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go, go, go.

Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack
up
Y'all go hard, I go smart
How's that working out for y'all in the back,
huh?
I've seen that frustration
Been crossed and lost and told "No"
And I've come back unshaken
Let down and lived and let go
So you can let it be known
I don't hold back, I hold my own
I can't be mapped, I can't be cloned
I can't C-flat, it ain't my tone
I can't fall back, I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
'Cause I was there saying...

[Chorus]
[Chester:]
Deep below
This time I finally let you go!!!
Go, go, go.

No, you can tell 'em all now
I don't back up, I don't back down
I don't fold up, and I don't bow
I don't roll over, don't know how
I don't care where the enemies are
Can't be stopped, all I know; go hard
Won't forget how I got this far
For every time saying

[Chorus]
[Chester:]
Deep below
This time I finally let you
Go, go, go. (Go, go, go)
Go. go, go. (Go, go, go)

"Lies Greed Misery"
[Verse 1]
I'mma be that nail in your coffin
Sayin' that I softened
I was duckin' down to reload
So you can save your petty explanations
I don't have the patience
Before you even say it I know
You let your pride or your ego
Talk slick to me, no
That is not the way I get down
And look at how you lose your composure
Now let me show you
Exactly how the breaking point sounds

[Chorus]
I wanna see you choke on your lies
Swallow up your greed
Suffer all alone in your misery
Choke on your lies

[Verse 2]
What is it you want me to tell you
I am not the failure
I would rather live and let be
But you came with the right kind of threat
to
Push me to let you
No you can't intimidate me
You disrespect me so clearly
Now you better hear me
That is not the way it goes down
You did it to yourself and it's over
Now let me show you
Exactly how the breaking point sounds

[Chorus]
Choke on your lies
Choke on your lies

[Bridge]
You did it to yourself [x8]

[Chorus]
Choke on your lies

"Victimized"
[Shinoda:]
No regret for the confidence betrayed
No more hiding in shadow
'Cause I won't wait for the debt to be repaid
Time has come for you

[Chester:]
[Chorus]
Victimized, victimized, never again
victimized [x2]

[Shinoda:]
They're acting like they want a riot, it's a riot
I'll give them
As the sound climbs higher on this violent
rhythm
For you snakes in the grass, supplying the
venom
I ain't scared of your teeth, I admire what's
in em
Keep 'em waiting in the shadows there,
thinking they hidden
But the truth is you don't have the stomach
to get em
Go on already, hit em! Yeah, you gotta be
kiddin'
Wanna talk about a victim, Imma put you
there with 'em!

[Chester:]
[Chorus]
Victimized, victimized, never again
victimized [x2]

(Raaah!)

"Skin To Bone"
Skin to bone, steel to rust
Ash to ashes dust to dust
Let tomorrow have its way
With the promises we made
Skin to bone, steel to rust.

Ash to ashes, dust to dust
Your deception, my disgust
When your name is finally drawn,
I'll be happy that you're gone
Ash to ashes, dust to dust.

[Chorus:]
(aaah) ash to ashes, dust to dust
(aaah) skin to bone and steel to rust

Right to left, left to right
Night to day and day to night
As the starlight fades to gray,
I'll be marching far away
Right to left and left to right

[Chorus:]
(aaah) ash to ashes, dust to dust
(aaah) skin to bone and steel to rust

Let tomorrow have its way?
With the promises betrayed?
Skin to bone and steel to rust [x3]

"Until It Breaks"
It goes a one
Two, three

I was born with the hunger of a lion, the
strength of a Sun
I don't need to sweat it when a competition
come
Original style, like an 808 drum
So I don't run the track, no, I make the track
run
My momma taught me words, my daddy
built rockets
I hold 'em both together now, tell me what I
got
It's a pretty smart weapon, I can shoot it, I
can drop it
But learn to respect it 'cause you clearly
can't stop it

Like that

It ain't over
'Cause the shark's on the left side, the
snake's on the right
And anything you do, they wanna get a
little bite
It really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if
you're right
'Cause once they get their teeth in nothing
really fights
And as for me I do it like I got nothing to
lose
And you can run your mouth like you could
try to fill my shoes
But steady little soldier, I ain't standing next
to you
I'll be laying on the ground before you're
even in my view
Like that

Give me the strength of the rising Sun
Give me the truth of the words unsung
And when the last bells ring, the poor men
sing
"Bring me to kingdom come"

It's something for your people on the block
to
Blackout and rock to, give you what you
need
Like Papa, who shot you
Separate the weak from the obsolete
The meek, I creep hard on impostors
And switch styles on the dime, quick-witted
y'all
Quit tripping, I don't have time for your
crying
I grind tough, sucker, make your mind up
Are you in the firing squad or are you in the
line-up?
Bang, bang, little monkey man playing
With the big guns only get you slayed
I ain't playing, I'm just saying
You ain't got a sliver of a chance
I get iller, I deliver while you quiver in your
pants
So shake, shake down, Money, here's the
break down
You can play the bank, Imma play the bank
take down
And no mistakes now I'm coming to get
you
I'm just a Banksy, you're a Brainwash, get
the picture?
It's like that

We swim against the rising waves
And crash against the shore
The body bends until it breaks
The early morning sings no more

So rest your head
It's time to sleep
And dream of what's in store
The body bends until it breaks
And sings again no more
'cause time has torn the flesh away
The early morning sings no more

"Powerless"
You hid your skeletons when I had shown
you mine
You walk the devil that I thought you'd left
behind
I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking
through
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways
to lose

[Chorus:]
And you held it all but you were careless to
let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side,
powerless

I watched you fall apart and chased you to
the end.
I'm left with emptiness that words cannot
defend
You'll never know what I became because
of you
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways
to lose

[Chorus: x2]
And you held it all but you were careless to
let it fall
You held it all and I was by your side,
powerless

Powerless [x2]

"Roads Untraveled"
Weep not for roads untraveled
Weep not for paths left alone
'Cause beyond every bend
Is a long blinding end
It's the worst kind of pain
I've known

Give up your heart left broken
And let that mistake pass on
'Cause the love that you lost
Wasn't worth what it cost
And in time you'll be glad it's gone

Woah-oo-oh-oh
Woah-oo-ohh
Woah-oo-oh-oh
Woah-oo-ohh

Weep not for roads untraveled
Weep not for sights unseen
May your love never end
And if you need a friend
There's a seat here alongside me

Woah-oo-oh-oh
Woah-oo-ohh
Woah-oo-oh-oh
Woah-oo-ohh

"Blackout"
[C. Bennington:]
I'm stuck in this bed you made,
Alone with a sinking feeling.
I saw through the words you said,
To the secrets you've been keeping.
It's written upon your face,
All the lies how they cut so deeply.
You can't get enough you take,
And take and take and never say.

No / you've gotta get it inside
You push it back down / You push it back
down
No / you'll never get it inside
Push it back down / Black out / Blood in
your eye

You say that it's not your fault,
And swear that I am mistaken.
You said it's not what it seems,
No remorse for the trust you're breaking.
You run but then back you fall,
Suffocate in the mess you're making.
You can't get enough you take,
And take and take and take and take,
Fuck it
Are you listening?

down
Push it back down / You push it back down
down
Push it back down / Black out / Blood in
your eye

[M. Shinoda:]
Floating down / as colors fill the light
We look up from the ground / in fields of
paperwhite
And floating up / you pass us in the night
A future gazing out / a past to overwrite
So come down / far below
We've been waiting to collect the things
you know
Come down / far below
We've been waiting to collect what you've
let go

[M. Shinoda and C. Bennington:]
Come down, oh.
Come down, oh.
Come down.
Come down, oh.
Come down, oh.

"The Catalyst"
[x2:]
God bless us everyone,
We're a broken people living under loaded
gun.
And it can't be outfought,
It can't be outdone,
It can't be outmatched,
It can't be outrun.
No!

And when I close my eyes tonight,
To symphonies of blinding light!

gun.
Oh!

Like memories in cold decay,
Transmissions echoing away,
Far from the world of you and I,
Where oceans bleed into the sky!

[x2:]
God save us everyone,
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand
suns?
For the sins of our hands,
The sins of our tongues,
The sins of our fathers,
The sins of our young.
No!

And when I close my eyes tonight,
To symphonies of blinding light!

God save us everyone,
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand
suns?

Ooh!

Where oceans bleed into the sky!

Oh!
Where oceans bleed into the sky.

[x10:]
Lift me up,
Let me go...

gun
It can't be outrun.
No!

gun.
It can't be outrun.

"When They Come For Me"
I am not a pattern to be followed
The pill that I'm on is a tough one to
swallow
I'm not a criminal, not a role model
Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow
I am not the fortune and the fame or the
same person telling you to forfeit the game
I came in the ring like a dog on a chain and
then found out the underbelly's sicker than
it seems
And it seems ugly but it can get worse
'cause even a blueprint is a gift and a curse
'cause once you got a theory of how the
thing works
Everybody wants the next thing to be just
like the first
And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey
I will not dance even if the beat's funky
Opposite of lazy, far from a punk

Ya'll oughta stop talking
Start trying to catch up mother fucker
And all the people say
Try to catch up mother fucker

Lauryn said money change the situation
Big said it increase the complication
Kane said don't step, I ain't the one
Chuck said an Uzi weighs a mother fucking
ton
And I'm just a student of the game that
they taught me
Rocking every stage and every place that
they brought me
I'm awfully underrated but came here to
correct it
And so it ain't mistaken, I'mma say it for the
record
I am the opposite of wack, opposite of weak
Opposite of slack, synonym of heat,
synonym of crack
Closest to a peak, far from a punk
Ya'll oughta stop talking, start trying to
catch up mother fucker


When they come for me
Come for me
I'll be gone [x3]


"Wretches And Kings"
"Theres a time when the operation of the
machine becomes so odious, makes you so
sick at heart, that you cant take part; you
cant even passively take part, and youve
got to put your bodies upon the gears and
upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all
the apparatus, and youve got to make it
stop." (Mario Savio)

To save face / how low can you go
Talk a lot of game but yet you dont know
Static on the way / make us all say whoa
The people up top push the people down
low
Get down
And obey every word
Steady getting mine if you havent yet
heard
Wanna take what I got / dont be absurd
Dont fight the power / nobody gets hurt
If you havent heard yet then Im letting you
know
There aint shit we dont run when the guns
unload
And no one make a move unless my people
say so
Got everything outta control
Now everybody go

Steel unload / final blow
We the animals take control
Hear us now / clear and true
Wretches and kings we come for you

So keep pace / how slow can you go
Talk a lot of shit and yet you dont know
Fire on the way / make you all say whoa
The people up top and the people down
low
Get down
And Im running it like that
The front of the attack is exactly where Im
at
Somewhere in between the kick and the hi
hat
The pen and the contract
The pitch and the contact
So get with the combat / Im letting em
know
There aint shit you can say to make me
back down no
So / push the button let the whole thing
blow
Spinning everything outta control
Now everybody go

Steel unload / final blow
We the animals take control
Hear us now / clear and true
Wretches and kings we come for you

Steel unload / fire blow
Filthy animals / beat them low
Skin and bone / black and blue
No more this sun shall beat onto you

From the front to the back and the side to
side
If you fear what I feel put em up real high
[x3]

"Theres a time when the operation of the
machine becomes so odious, makes you so
sick at heart, that you cant take part; you
cant even passively take part, and youve
got to put your bodies upon the gears and
upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all
the apparatus, and youve got to make it
stop. And youve got to indicate to the
people who run it, to the people who own
it, that unless youre free, the machine will
be prevented from working at all."
