Leave out all the rest.

A year alone in a new country. A year I couldn't turn to a friend. A year I saw into darkness.

A voice whispered in my ears.

A voice shouted into my ears.

A voice reached out and kept me going.

Today that voice went silent. No sound, No goodbye.

A past long forgotten called to remind me of the voice. And tell me of the sad news.

I wanted to be mad, I wanted to ask why. But I closed my eyes, kept silent and listened. And I heard the voice.
It spoke to me one last time.

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here?
So, if you're asking me, I want you to know...

I do want to know...

When my time comes
Forget the wrong that I've done
Help me leave behind some reasons to be missed
And don't resent me
And when you're feeling empty
Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest
Leave out all the rest

Rest in Peace Chester Bennington,
you'll be forever in my memory.
