[Verse 1]
How did this all come back around?
Left for dead when I hit the ground
After everything, now I've found
That you set me up just to knock me down

Here and now is where this begins
I don't know what your sickness is
But I do know what the difference is
Just show that face for your witnesses

Just talk and talk and talk and lie
With every little word, you rot inside
You're not really gonna stop and try
To make right of the wrong you caught me by

So, I know what's happening
I see that web you trapping in
You can kid yourself now, all you want
I'm not falling for that, again

[Verse 2]
Forget about all that who and when
The hurt you knew that drew me in
The dirt you rubbed my bruises in
The guilt that I felt when the rules were bent

This is where the brand new begins
This is where the confusion ends
I don't care if I lose or win
I just know that I don't want to pretend

Just talk and talk and laugh and grin
Here we go, just like that again
Back to get stabbed in the back again
Like the last time was just practicing

This time, here's what's happening
I see that web you trapping in
You can kid yourself now, all you want
I'm not falling for that, again

[Outro]
This time, here's what's happening
I see that web you trapping in
Kid yourself now, all you want
I'm not falling for that, again

This time, here's what's happening
I see that web you trapping in
Kid yourself now, all you want
I'm not falling for that, again

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.
