Blackbirds Lyrics - Linkin Park

Drop that 

get up 

Take to the streets 

better lock that kid up 

Face full of teeth when he hock that spit up 

Pacing the beat like a beast 

Rocking the block on repeat 

Speak from the cut like a rush of blood 

Paint red on the sleeves of the ones you love 

Lay the sick ones down and the bells will ring 

Put pennies on the eyes let the dead men sing 

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 

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 

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 

Photos 

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 

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'm getting back what I gave 

I'm getting back what I gave
