Xero21 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) I shiver and shake through warm or 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 they trapped me inside mistakes I made thats the price I paid its harder starting over than never to have changed *chorus* That's what I have. The rap parts are pretty difficult with the current song quality so we'll have to wait for a good portion of those lyrics. Edit - Here's my attempt: I drop to the floor like I did before Stop ----------------------- and I can't be more What I want and what I need are a constant war Like a well full of poison, -------------------- The blood goes thin, the fever stings and I shake from the hell that the habits bring lay the sick ones down, the bells will ring put pennies on the eyes let the dead men sing.

ChuckCheese Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) Here's mine...changed it a bit to what you put since I some of your parts make more sense. Drop like get up(?) Take to the streets On Iraq(?), yeah, get up Face full of teeth When it's hot(?), yeah, spit up Tasting the beat(or heat?) Like a beast(?) (No idea what he's saying here..) Speak from your gut like a rush of blood Gave red on the (something) to the ones you love Lay the sick ones down and the bells will ring Put pennies on their eyes, let the dead men sing I shiver and shake through warm and 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 (or brain?) 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 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 (or brain?) They close in, swallowing me The pain, it comes in waves I'm getting back what I gave 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 over 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 Lay the sick ones down The bells will ring Put pennies on their eyes, let the dead men sing Blackbirds following me I'm digging out my grave (or brain?) 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 Edited April 25, 2010 by ProjektCharlotte Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/4204-blackbirds-lyircs/#findComment-65721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
linkinpark11 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 mike's rap part at the intro sounds like an old freestyle or something, pretty cool how they added that nice hip hop feel and then switch it for chester Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/4204-blackbirds-lyircs/#findComment-65863 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashwhisker Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Its grave, not brains by the way. It's definitely grave because the next line is "waves" and that rhymes better.

Astat Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Drop, like get up, take to the streets ? When they hock that spit up, pace to the beat ? Speak from the gut, like a rush of blood Paint red on the street to 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 through warm or 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 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 (yeah) I'm getting back what I gave 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 a 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 Lay the sick ones down, the bells will ring Put pennies on the eyes, let the dead men sing 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 Pretty sure that's 100% correct outside of the intro - a couple corrections in the second verse and I filled in all the blanks in Mike's rap in the bridge. I think what I have so far for the intro is correct or close to it, but I'm really not sure about the 2 lines I haven't filled in.
