[Instrumental Intro]

You've been faking it all this time
You left my trust on the firing line
As the promises break, the only mistakes
Giving you what was mine
Your words are clear but their meaning's gone
The notes are right but the tuning's wrong
And when you tell me again that I should give in
I can only take it so long, long, long, long

You're terrified, terrified
You'd rather throw it all away, all away, all away!
You're terrified, terrified
You'd rather throw it all away!

Fear is dancing inside your lies
Exposing secrets that you've disguised
And I'm biting my tongue as you become
Victim of a compromise
'Cause I know who you really are
Not a scratch where you pretend you're scarred
And it's time that you seek the truth without me
I can only get you so far, far, far, far

You're terrified, terrified
You'd rather throw it all away, all away, all away!
You're terrified, terrified
You'd rather throw it all away!

[Instrumental Break]

Throw it all away, all away, way!
Throw it all away, all away, all away, way!
Throw it all away, all away, all away, way!
Throw it all away, all away, all away, way!
Throw it all away, all a—!

You're terrified, terrified
You'd rather throw it all away, all away, all away!
You're terrified, terrified
You'd rather throw it all away, all away, all away!
You're terrified, terrified
You'd rather throw it all away, all away, all away!
You're terrified, terrified
You'd rather throw it all away!

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.
