[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
Save me now
From this mess that I've created
All the souls have gone
And I'm stranded here with doubt and fear alone

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Tell me how
I'm in fault for all this madness
I don't know what's wrong
But I cannot help but try to push it

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
So far away
(In so deep and inside of me)
So hard to say
(I don't want to say it, anyway)

[Verse 3: Mike Shinoda]
Save me now
I'm the mess I have created
And my soul has gone
For some reason, all I do is push it

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
So far away
(In so deep and inside of me)
So hard to say
(I don't want to say it, anyway)
So far away

[Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
It's so far away
(In so deep and inside of me)
So hard to say
(I don't want to say it, anyway)
So far away
(In so deep and inside of me)
So hard to say
(I don't want to say it, anyway)

Linkin Park

Hybrid Theory isn’t just the title of Linkin Park’s chart-topping debut album, but a career mission statement.

From day one, the same six players (lead vocalist Chester Bennington, drummer/percussionist Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, bassist Dave ‘Phoenix’ Farrell, DJ/Programmer Joe Hahn, and keyboardist, guitarist, and co-lead vocals Mike Shinoda) built the band by fusing all their favorite styles of music into one unmistakable signature sound. With each album, Linkin Park defiantly challenges themselves and their fans by blasting into new musical territory. After setting the template for rock that incorporated hip-hop influences with Hybrid Theory and Meteora, they shifted gears completely and defied expectations with the polychromatic Minutes to Midnight, and again with the esoteric A Thousand Suns, before melding a piece of them all into 2012’s LIVING THINGS. With their 2014 release and heaviest offering in years, The Hunting Party, Linkin Park manage to capture their ever-innovative spirit with a hunger seldom seen in bands on their seventh album. One More Light (2017) is an interesting personal album, filled with a lot of emotion.

Unfortunately, on July 20, 2017, Chester unexpectedly died by suicide, shocking and saddening both fans and his own band members alike.
