RIP Chester. I know your were fighting man.

Addiction is a lonely monster.

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear
Is never ending, controlling

I can't seem to find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence)
(I'm convinced that there's)
(Just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before so insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled
Itself upon me distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence)
(I'm convinced that there's)
(Just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before so insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real

There's something inside me
That pulls beneath the surface
Consuming
(Confusing what is real)
This lack of self control I fear
Is never ending, controlling
(Confusing what is real)

Holy shit. What. I was just watching a video of him singing about soup a day or two ago. Their first two albums were pretty impactful to me at that time. Leaving 6 kids though...

RIP

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Damn RIP. Loved Linkin Park when I was younger. I had no clue he was abused as a child
 
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free


RIP

Oh man, this came from nowhere. Fuck...

R.I.P.

I recall reading that in the past he had a friend/friends that committed suicide and recently he lost his friend/colleague Chris Cornell to suicide as well. Such a sad story. I wish the family, his friends, and his former colleagues the absolute best.

His voice has been a huge influence on my life. While I kind of lost interest in LP over time, they were one of the biggest stepping stones to my current tastes. There was undeniably a lot of passion in his vocals that was crucial to the sound and success of LP.

Haven't listened to them in a while, but Linkin Park was undoubtedly a part of my childhood.

RIP, Chester.
