That is not the way I get
That is not the way it goes
That is not the way I get
That is not the way it goes

That is not the way I get down
That is not the way it goes down
That is not the way I get down
That is not the way it goes down

Th-th-that is not the way I get down
That is not the way it goes down
That is not the way I get down
That is not the way it goes down

Th-th-that is not the way I get down
That is not the way it goes down
That is not the way I get down
That is not the way it goes down

I wanna see you choke on your lies (lies, lies)
Suffer all alone in your (lone in your, lone in your)
Choke on your lies (lies, lies)
Suffer all alone in your misery

Choke on your lies (lies, lies)
Suffer all alone in your (lone in your, lone in your)
Choke on your lies (lies, lies)
Suffer all alone in your misery

You did it to yourself
You did it to yourself
You did it to yourself
You did it to yourself

I wanna see you-
Exactly how the breaking point sounds
I wanna
That is not the way I get
I wanna see you-
Exactly how the breaking point sounds

I wanna see you choke on your lies (lies, lies)
Suffer all alone in your (lone in your, lone in your)
Choke on your lies (lies, lies)
Suffer all alone in your misery

You did it to yourself (x8)

I wanna see you-
Exactly how the breaking point sounds

Imma be that nail in your coffin
Sayin' that I soften
I was duckin' down to reload
So you can save your petty explanations
I don't have the patience
Before you even say it I know
You let your pride or your ego
Talk slick to me no
That is not the way I get down
And look at how you lose your composure
Now let me show you
Exactly how the breaking point sounds

I wanna see you-
Exactly how the breaking point sounds

That is not the way I get down
That is not the way it goes down
That is not the way I get down
That is not the way it goes down

Th-th-that is not the way I get down
That is not the way it goes down
That is not the way I get down
That is not the way it goes down

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.
