Blackbirds Lyrics - Linkin Park

1 ''Drop that, get up, take to the streets

2 Better lock that kid up, face full of teeth

3 When he hock that spit up, pacing the beat

4 Like a beast, rocking the block on repeat

5 Speak from the cut like a rush of blood

6 Paint red on the sleeves of the ones you love

7 Lay the sick ones down and the bells will ring

8 Put pennies on the eyes, let the dead men sing''

9 I shiver and shake the warm air cold

10 I'm alone on my own

11 In every mistake I dig this hole

12 Through my skin and bones

13 It’s harder starting over

14 Than never to have changed

15 With Blackbirds following me

16 I'm digging out my grave

17 They close in, swallowing me

18 The pain, it comes in waves

19 I'm getting back what I gave

20 I sweat through the sheet as daylight fades

21 As I waste away

22 It traps me inside mistakes I've made

23 That’s the price I pay

24 It’s harder starting over

25 Than never to have changed

26 With Blackbirds following me

27 I'm digging out my grave

28 They close in, swallowing me

29 The pain, it comes in waves

30 I'm getting back what I gave

31 I drop to the floor like I did before

32 Stop watching, I’m coughing, I can’t be more

33 What I want and what I need are at constant war

34 Like a well full of poison, a rotten core

35 The blood goes thin, the fever stings

36 And I shake from the hell that the habits bring

37 Let the sick ones down, the bells will ring

38 Put pennies on the eyes, let the dead men sing

39 Blackbirds following me

40 I'm digging out my grave

41 They close in, swallowing me

42 The pain, it comes in waves

43 I'm getting back what I gave

44 I'm getting back what I gave

45 I'm getting back what I gave
