LINKIN PARK FOR LIFE 🎧🎶🗡

☄☄☄☄☄

“I don’t like to hold back because that’s how you hurt yourself. One thing can’t be defeated is love. You can conquer hate by ignoring it. You can destroy it by loving the person next to you. So I want everybody here tonight to look at the person standing next to you and just tell them you love them or happy that they are here with you tonight and having a good time, listening to music, celebrating life.” ~ Chester Bennington

"This is ten percent luck, Twenty percent skill, Fifteen percent power of will, Five percent pleasure, Fifty percent pain, and a hundred percent reason to remember the name." "Who can't relate to the idea of leaving one chapter behind and moving on to the next?" ~ Mike Shinoda

• BATTLE SYMPHONY 🎶 •

🎶

I got a long way to go

And a long memory

I've been searching for an answer

Always just out of reach

Blood on the floor

Sirens repeat

I've been searching for the courage

To face my enemies

When they turn down the lights

🎶

I hear my battle symphony

All the world in front of me

If my armor breaks

I'll fuse it back together

Battle symphony

Please just don't give up on me

And my eyes are wide awake

🎶

For my battle symphony

🎶

They say that I don't belong

Say that I should retreat

That I'm marching to the rhythm

Of a lonesome defeat

But the sound of your voice

Puts the pain in reverse

🎶

No surrender, no illusions

And for better or worse

When they turn down the lights

I hear my battle symphony

All the world in front of me

If my armor breaks

I'll fuse it back together

🎶

Battle symphony

Please just don't give up on me

And my eyes are wide awake

If I fall, get knocked down

Pick myself up off the ground

If I fall, get knocked down

Pick myself up off the ground

When they turn down the lights

🎶

I hear my battle symphony

All the world in front of me

If my armor breaks

I'll fuse it back together

Battle symphony

Please just don't give up on me

And my eyes are wide awake

🎶

For my battle symphony

🎶

• TALKING TO MYSELF 🎶 •

🎶

Tell me what I've gotta do

There's no getting through to you

The lights are on but nobody's home (nobody's home)

You say I can't understand

But you're not giving me a chance

When you leave me, where do you go? (Where do you go?)

🎶

All the walls that you keep building

All this time that I spent chasing

All the ways that I keep losing you

The truth is, you turn into someone else

You keep running like the sky is falling

🎶

I can whisper, I can yell

But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know

I'm just talking to myself

Talking to myself

🎶

But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know

I'm just talking to myself

I admit I made mistakes

But yours might cost you everything

Can't you hear me calling you home?

🎶

All the walls that you keep building

All this time that I spent chasing

All the ways that I keep losing you

The truth is, you turn into someone else

You keep running like the sky is falling

🎶

I can whisper, I can yell

But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know

I'm just talking to myself

Talking to myself

But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know

🎶

I'm just talking to myself

All the walls that you keep building

All this time that I spent chasing

All the ways that I keep losing you

The truth is, you turn into someone else

You keep running like the sky is falling

🎶

I can whisper, I can yell

But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know

I'm just talking to myself

Talking to myself

But I know, yeah I know, yeah I know

I'm talking to myself

🎶

• WAITING FOR THE END 🎶 •

🎶

Put 'em up now

Yeah

🎶

This is not the end, this is not the beginning

Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision

Won't you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm

And though the words sound steady

Something empty's within 'em

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 dead it, forget it, let it all disappear, yeah

🎶

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

🎶

I know what it takes to move on

(Oh) I know how it feels to lie

(Oh) all I wanna 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

🎶

I know what it takes to move on

(Oh) I know how it feels to lie

(Oh) all I wanna do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven't got (yo, yo)

🎶

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 tryna figure out what it's like moving on

And I don't even know what kind of things I've said

My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead

So, picking up the pieces now where to begin

The hardest part of ending is starting again

🎶

Oh, all I wanna do is trade this life for something new

Holding on to what I haven't got

🎶

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 (I'm holding onto what I haven't-)

And though the words sound steady, something empty's within 'em (got)

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 fear (holding onto what I haven't-)

Until we dead it, forget it, let it all disappear (got)

🎶

--------------------------------------------

• POWERLESS 🎶 •

🎶

You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine

You woke 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

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

🎶

And you held it all

But you were careless to let it fall

You held it all

And I was by your side, powerless

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

🎶

---------------------------------------

• HEAVY 🎶 •

🎶

I don't like my mind right now

Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary

Wish that I could slow things down

I wanna let go, but there's comfort in the panic

And I drive myself crazy

Thinking everything's about me

Yeah, I drive myself crazy

'Cause I can't escape the gravity

🎶

I'm holding on

Why is everything so heavy?

Holding on

To so much more than I can carry

I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

If I just let go, I'd be set free

🎶

Holding on

Why is everything so heavy?

You say that I'm paranoid

But I'm pretty sure the world is out to get me

It's not like I make the choice

To let my mind stay so fucking messy

I know I'm not the center of the universe

But you keep spinning 'round me just the same

I know I'm not the center of the universe

But you keep spinning 'round me just the same

🎶

I'm holding on

Why is everything so heavy?

Holding on

To so much more than I can carry

I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

If I just let go, I'd be set free

🎶

Holding on

Why is everything so heavy?

I know I'm not the center of the universe

You keep spinning 'round me just the same

I know I'm not the center of the universe

But you keep spinning 'round me just the same

And I drive myself crazy

Thinking everything's about me

🎶

Holding on

Why is everything so heavy?

Holding on

To so much more than I can carry

I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

If I just let go, I'd be set free

🎶

Holding on

Why is everything so heavy?

--------------------------------

• NUMB 🎶 •

🎶

I'm tired of being what you want me to be

Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface

Don't know what you're expecting of me

Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes

🎶

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)

🎶

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware

🎶

I'm becoming this

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you

🎶

Can't you see that you're smothering me

Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?

'Cause everything that you thought I would be

Has fallen apart right in front of you

🎶

Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow) 🎶

And every second I waste is more than I can take

🎶

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware

🎶

I'm becoming this

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you

🎶

And I know

I may end up failing too

But I know

You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

🎶

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

Become so tired

So much more aware

🎶

I'm becoming this

All I want to do

Is be more like me

And be less like you

🎶

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

I've become so numb

I can't feel you there

(I'm tired of being what you want me to be)

🎶

---------------------------------

• 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

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

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

🎶

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

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

🎶

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

🎶

-------------------------------------

• 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

Show me how to be whole again

🎶

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass

Hardly anything there for you to see

For you to see

🎶

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass

Hardly anything else I need to be

🎶

'Cause I'm only a crack in this castle of glass

Hardly anything there for you to see

For you to see

🎶

------------------------------------

• IN THE END 🎶 •

🎶

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

Tryin' to hold on, did-didn't even know

I wasted it all just to watch you go

I kept everything inside and even though I tried

It all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually

Be a memory of a time when I tried so hard

🎶

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end it doesn't even matter

I had to fall to lose it all

But in the end it doesn't even matter

🎶

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

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I'm surprised it got so far

Things aren't the way they were before

You wouldn't even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me in the end

You kept everything inside and even though I tried

It all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually

Be a memory of a time when I tried so hard

🎶

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end it doesn't even matter

I had to fall to lose it all

But in the end it doesn't even matter

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

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end it doesn't even matter

I had to fall to lose it all

But in the end it doesn't even matter

"A dead person is the light of my life. I think he is still alive, putting an armor on my life and asking me to scream and help myself. Do I really need someone's help to raise my hand and feel light? No, I do not need because I've already crossed that line." ~ Your admirer, Naela!
