Chester, What Have You Done?
Written for Chester of Linkin Park who sadly took his own life yesterday.
Rewrite of Linkin Park's What I've Done
It's no good
This final farewell
Left behind your band
And your blood
All to cry
Music's most sorrowful regret
You could't tell the truth
From a thousand lies
Oh, will mercy come
Now that you've thrown it all away
Chester, what have you done?
Wasted away the best of your self
Crossed out all you could have become
Erased yourself
Oh, Chester, what have you done?
Now as we lay you to rest
The question still lingers around me
What could have drove you to this state?
Made you question the value of your life?
With such uncertainty
Oh, will mercy come
Now that you've thrown it all away
Chester, what have you done?
Wasted away the best of yourself
Crossed out all you could have become
Erased yourself
Oh, Chester, what have you done?
Oh, Chester, what have you done?
How can we ever go on again?
Living with this pain that has come
These nightmares
They have no ends
Is there any forgiving what you have done?
Chester, what have you done?
Our dearest boy
Chester, what have you done?
