Linkin Park – What I’ve Done

In this farewell,
There’s no blood,
There’s no alibi.
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret,
From the truth,
Of a thousand lies.

 So let mercy come,
And wash away…

 What I’ve Done.
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done.

 Put to rest,
What you thought of me.
While I clean this slate,
With the hands,
Of uncertainty.

 So let mercy come,
And wash away…

 What I’ve Done.
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done.

 For What I’ve Done

 I start again,
And whatever pain may come.
Today this ends,
I’m forgiving what I’ve done.

 I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done.
(Na na na na, na na na na, na na na na, na na na na)
What I’ve done.

 Forgiving What I’ve Done.


Linkin Park – The Little Things Give You Away

Water creeps through the windows
Up the stairs
Chilling rain
Like an ocean

Everywhere

 Don’t want to reach for me do you?
I mean nothing to you
The Little Things Give You Away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water
I do

 Hope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away

 As a nation simply stares

 Don’t want to reach for me do you?
I mean nothing to you
The Little Things Give You Away
But now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water
I do
All you’ve ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under ground now I
Now I do

The Little Things Give You Away
All you ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you


Linkin Park – In Pieces

Telling me to go,
But hands beg me to stay.
Your lips say that you love,
Your eyes say that you hate.

 There’s truth in your lies,
Doubt in your faith.
What you build you lay to waste.
There’s truth in your lies,
Doubt in your faith.
All I’ve got’s what you didn’t take.

 So I, I won’t be the one,
Be the one to leave this,
In pieces.
And you, you will be alone,
Alone with all your secrets,
And regrets.
Don’t lie.

You promise me the sky,
Then toss me like a stone.
You wrap me in your arms,
And chill me to the bone.

There’s truth in your lies,
Doubt in your faith.
All I’ve got’s what you didn’t take.

So I, I won’t be the one,
Be the one to leave this,
In pieces.
And you, you will be alone,
Alone with all your secrets,
And regrets.
Don’t lie.

 So I, I won’t be the one,
Be the one to leave this,
In pieces.
And you, you will be alone,
Alone with all your secrets,
And regrets.
Don’t lie.


Linkin Park – In Between

Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I’m about to say
But trying to be genuine was harder than it seemed
But somehow I got caught up in between

 Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I’m about to say
But trying to be someone else was harder than it seemed
But somehow I got caught up in between

 Between my pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that’s worse than one is none

 Let me apologize to begin with
Let me apologize for what I’m about to say
But trying to regain your trust was harder than it seemed
But somehow I got caught up in between

 Between my pride and my promise

 Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that’s worse than one is none
The only thing that’s worse than one is none

 And I cannot explain to you
In anything I say or do or plan
Fear is not afraid of you
Guilt’s a language you can understand
I cannot explain to you in anything I say or do
I hope the actions speak the words they can

 For my pride and my promise
For my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that’s worse than one is none

 For my pride and my promise
Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come
The only thing that’s worse than one is none
The only thing that’s worse than one is none
The only thing that’s worse than one is none


Linkin Park – Valentine’s Day

My insides all turn to ash,
So slow.
And blow away as I collapsed,
So cold.

 A black winter been away,
From sight.
Another darkness over day,
That night.
And the clouds above move closer,
Looking so dissatisfied.
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing.
I used to be my own protection,
But not now.
‘Cause my path has lost direction,
Somehow.

 A black winter took you away,
From sight.
Another darkness over day,
That night.
And the clouds above move closer,
Looking so dissatisfied.
And the ground below grew colder,
As they put you down inside.
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing.

 So now you’re gone,
And I was wrong.
I never knew what it was like,

 To be alone on a Valentine’s Day,
To be alone on a Valentine’s Day.

 I used to be my own protection,
But not now.
‘Cause my path has lost direction,
Somehow.

 I used to be my own protection,
But not now.
‘Cause my mind has lost direction,
Somehow.


Linkin Park – No More Sorrow

Are you lost, In your lies?
Do you tell yourself, I don’t realize?
Your crusade’s a disguise.
You replaced freedom with fear,
You trade money for lives.

 I’m aware of what you’ve done.

 No, No More Sorrow.
I’ve paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.

 I see pain, I see need.
I see liars and thieves,
Abuse power with greed.
I had hope, I believed.
But I’m beginning to think that I’ve been deceived.

 You will pay for what you’ve done.

 No, No More Sorrow.
I’ve paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.

 Thieves and hypocrites.
Thieves and hypocrites.
Thieves and hypocrites.

 No, No More Sorrow.
I’ve paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.

 No More Sorrow.
I’ve paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.

 Your time has come to be replaced.
Your time has come to be erased.


Linkin Park – Hands Held High

Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something.
Lightweight step it aside, when we comin’.
Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping.
People on the street, they panic and start running.

 Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming.
I jump on my mind, I summon the rhyme of dumping.
Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in.
Sick of the dark ways, we march to the drumming.

 Jump when they tell us they want to see jumping.
Fuck that, I want to see some fist pumping.
Risk something.
Take back what’s yours.
Say something that you know they might attack you for

 Cause I’m sick of being treated like I have before.
Like I’m stupid standing for what I’m standing for.
Like this war’s really just a different brand of war.
Like it doesn’t cater to rich and abandon poor

 Like they understand you in the back of the jet,
When you can’t put gas in your tank,
These fuckers are laughing their way
To the bank and cashing a check
Asking you to have compassion and have some respect

 For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In their living room laughing like, “What did he say?”

 Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen

 In my living room watching,
But I am not laughing.
‘Cause when it gets tense,
I know what might happen.

 The world is cold, and bold men take action.
Have to react to get blown into fractions.
10 years old is something to see,
Another kid my age drugged under a G,
Taken and bound and found later under a tree,
I wonder if he thought, “The next one could be me.”

 Do you see?
The soldiers that are out today.
That brush the dust with bulletproof vests away.
It’s ironic.
At times like this you pray,
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday.

 There’s bombs in the buses, bikes, roads,
Inside your market, your shops, your clothes,
My dad, he’s got a lot of fear I know,
But enough pride inside not to let that show.

 My brother had a book he would hold with pride,
A little red cover with a broken spine.
In the back he hand wrote a quote inside,
“When the rich wage war, it’s the poor who die.”

 Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
Both scared and angry like, “What did he say?”

 Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.

 With hands held high into a sky so blue,
The ocean opens up to swallow you. (x6)


Linkin Park – Shadow of the Day

I close both locks below the window.
I close both blinds and turn away.
Sometimes solutions aren’t so simple.
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way.

 And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

 Pink cards and flowers on your window,
Your friends all plead for you to stay.
Sometimes beginnings aren’t so simple.
Sometimes goodbye’s the only way.

 And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

 And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

 And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.


Linkin Park – Bleed It Out

Yea here we go for the hundredth time,
Hand grenade pins in every line,
Throw ‘em up and let something shine.
Going out of my fucking mind.
Filthy mouth, no excuse.
Find a new place to hang this noose.
String me up from atop these roofs.
Knot it tight so I won’t get loose.
Truth is you can stop and stare,
Run myself out and no one cares.
Dug a trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up out to reach somewhere.
Yea someone pour it in,
Make it a dirt dance floor again.
Say your prayers and stomp it out,
When they bring that chorus in.

 (Chorus)
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away.

 I bleed it out.
Go, stop the show.
Chop your words in a sloppy flow.
Shotgun opera, lock and load,
Cock it back and then watch it go.
Mama help me, I’ve been cursed,
Death is rolling in every verse.
Candypaint on his brand new hearse.
Can’t contain him, he knows he works.
Fuck this hurts, I won’t lie.
Doesn’t matter how hard I try.
Half the words don’t mean a thing,
And I know that I won’t be satisfied.
So why, try ignoring him.
Make your dirt dance floor again.
Say your prayers and stomp it out,
When they bring that chorus in.

 (Chorus)
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away.

 I bleed it out.
I’ve opened up these scars,
I’ll make you face this.
I pulled myself so far,
I’ll make you face this now.

 I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away.

 I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away.
I bleed it out,
Digging deeper just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away,
Just to throw it away.

 I bleed it out. [3X]


Linkin Park – Leave Out All The Rest

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared.
But no one would listen
Cuz’ no one else cared.

 After my dreaming
I woke with this fear.
What am I leaveing,
When I am done here?

 So if you’re asking me I want you to know…

 When my time comes
Forget the wrong that i’ve done
Help me leave behind some reason to be missed.
And don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest, Leave out all the rest.

 Don’t be afraid
Of taking my beatings
Of shit behind me.

 I’m strong on the surface
Not all the way through.
I’ve never been perfect
But neither have you.
So if you’re asking me I want you to know…

 When my time comes
Forget the wrong that i’ve done
Help me leave behind some reason to be missed.
And don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest,Leave out all the rest.

 Forgetting
All the hurt inside you’ve learned to hide so well.
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself.
I can’t be who you are…

 When my time comes
Forget the wrong that i’ve done
Help me leave behind some reason to be missed.
And don’t resent me
And when you’re feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest, Leave out all the rest.

 Forgetting
All the hurt inside you’ve learned to hide so well.
Pretending
Someone else can come and save me from myself.
I can’t be who you are.
I can’t be who you are.
