[Intro: Chester Bennington]
Come on!

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore

A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant and I can't bring you back

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
It's true, the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me

[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I'm with you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
With you
You, now I see, even when I close my eyes

With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
With you
You, now I see, even when I close my eyes

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]
I hit you and you hit me back
And we fall to the floor, the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
But when things go wrong, I pretend the past isn't real

Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant and I can't bring you back

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
It's true, the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me

[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
I'm with you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
With you
You, now I see, even when I close my eyes

With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
With you
You, now I see, even when I close my eyes

[Verse 3: Aceyalone & Chester Bennington]
(No) I won’t let you control my fate
While I’m holding the weight of the world on my conscience
(No) I won’t just sit here and wait
While you're weighing your options, you’re making a fool of me
(No) You didn’t dare try to say that you don’t care
And solemnly swear not to follow me there
(No) It ain’t like me to beg on my knees
"Oh please, oh baby, please", that’s not how I’m doing things
(No) No, I’m not upset, no, I’m not angry
I know love is love, love and sometimes it pains me
(No) With or without you, I’ll always be with you
You’ll never forget me, I’m keeping you with me
(No) No, I won’t let you take me to the end of my rope
While you burn it and torture my soul
(No) No, I’m not your puppet
And, no, no, no, I won’t let you go

[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
No, no matter how far we’ve come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we've come
I, I can't wait to see tomorrow

[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
With you
You, now I see, even when I close my eyes

With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
With you
You, now I see, even when I close my eyes

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.
