[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
Nothing ever stops all these thoughts
And the pain attached to them
Sometimes, I wonder why this is happenin'
It's like nothin' I could do will distract me when
I think of how I shot myself in the back again
'Cause from the infinite words I could say
I put all the pain you gave to me on display
But didn't realize, instead of settin' it free
I took what I hated and made it a part of me

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]
It never goes away, it never goes away
And now…

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
You've become a part of me (You'll always be right here)
You've become a part of me (You'll always be my fear)
I can't separate (Myself from what I've done)
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
Hearin' your name, the memories come back again
I remember when it started happenin'
I'd see you in every thought I had, and then
The thoughts slowly found words attached to them
And I knew as they escaped away, I was committin' myself to 'em
And every day, I regret sayin' those things
'Cause now I see that I took what I hated and made it a part of me

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]
It never goes away, it never goes away
And now…

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
You've become a part of me (You'll always be right here)
You've become a part of me (You'll always be my fear)
I can't separate (Myself from what I've done)
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, both]
Never goes away, never goes away
It never goes away, it never goes away (Get away from me)
Gimme my space back, you gotta just (Go)
Everything comes down to memories of (You)
I've kept it in, but now I'm lettin' you (Know)
I've let you go, so get away from me
Gimme my space back, you gotta just (Go)
Everything comes down to memories of (You)
I've kept it in, but now I'm lettin' you (Know)
I've let you go (And now…)

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
You've become a part of me (You'll always be right here)
You've become a part of me (You'll always be my fear)
I can't separate (Myself from what I've done)
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

[Outro: Chester Bennington]
I've let myself become you
I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you
Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you

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.
