Linkin Park, Blackbirds

I shiver and shake the warm air cold
I’m alone on my own
In every mistake I dig this hole
Through my skin and bones
It’s harder starting over
Than never to have changed

Chorus :
With Blackbirds following me
I’m digging out my grave
They close in, swallowing me
The pain, it comes in waves
I’m getting back what I gave

I sweat through the sheet as daylight fades
As I waste away
It traps me inside mistakes I’ve made
That’s the price I pay

It’s harder starting over
Than never to have changed

[Chorus]

I drop to the floor like I did before
Stop watching, I’m coughing, I can’t be more
What I want and what I need are at constant war
Like a well full of poison, a rotten core

The blood goes thin, the fever stings
And I shake from the hell that the habits bring
Let the sick ones down, the bells will ring
Put pennies on the eyes, let the dead men sing

[Chorus]
I’m getting back what I gave
I’m getting back what I gave
