Linkin Park - Rhinestone Lyrics






[Mark Wakefield (Mike Shinoda):]
From the top to the bottom (bottom to top I stop)
At the core of the rotten (stop to just what I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so bright in the sky)
And I'm far from a wait list (thinking, why did I try?)

From the top to the bottom (bottom to top I stop)
At the core of the rotten (stop to just what I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so bright in the sky)
And I'm far from a wait list (thinking, why did I try?)

[Mike Shinoda:]
From the thread to the needle, middle to end
When skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend
The rain then sends dripping an acidic question
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then, with the eyes tightly shut looking through the rust
And rotten dust, a spot of light floods the floor
Pours itself upon the world of pretend
Then the eyes ease open and it's dark again

[Mark Wakefield (Mike Shinoda):]
From the top to the bottom (bottom to top I stop)
At the core of the rotten (stop to just what I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so bright in the sky)
And I'm far from a wait list (thinking, why did I try?)

From the top to the bottom (bottom to top I stop)
At the core of the rotten (stop to just what I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so bright in the sky)
And I'm far from a wait list (thinking, why did I try?)

[Mark Wakefield:]
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up

[Mike Shinoda:]
Moving all around, swinging of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
And as the wheels go 'round, the sunset creeps past the
Street lamps, cars, chain-links, and concrete
A window then grows, and captures the eye
Cries out yellow light as it passes it by
A small black figure sits in front of a box
Inside a box of rock with the needles on top
Nothing stops in this land of the chain
When brains lose not knowing they were part of the game
And then the insides grow, but the box stays the same in shame
Shovel up the pieces to the pain
You can try to hide yourself in the world of pretend
But when the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again

[Mark Wakefield (Mike Shinoda):]
From the top to the bottom (bottom to top I stop)
At the core of the rotten (stop to just what I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so bright in the sky)
And I'm far from a wait list (thinking, why did I try?)

From the top to the bottom (bottom to top I stop)
At the core of the rotten (stop to just what I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so bright in the sky)
And I'm far from a wait list (thinking, why did I try?)

[Mark Wakefield:]
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up

[Mike Shinoda:]
Yeah, I got you caught in the act
You better step back
Telling me that I'm seeing right through you
[8x]

[Mark Wakefield:]
In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up

In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies keep piling up

    Mark Wakefield sounded like too much of a country artist to be a part of LP

    R.... R....

    AJ Alfar I know. I made a typo and completely forgot about it lmao

  6. J.... D....

    Such a classic throwback to me being a former Linkin Park fan. I heard this demo album when Meteora was a thing.

  7. E.... R....

    The best day, will be when fred durst dies.

  8. M.... ....

    I’m so happy they changed it to “in a memory you’ll fine me” in a minute sounds kind of odd

  9. E.... C....

    I like this version better, it sounds kinda creepy which I like

    E.... C....

    Yeah Xero stuff was kinda creepy

  10. J.... G....

    This is forgotten that's got way different vocals

    T.... A....

    I think that last line of the chorus is "I'm far from awakeness", not "far from a wait list"

  15. A.... T....

    I prefer frgt/10, but I like this too

  16. 1.... ....

    This Demo Was Before Chester Came To Linkin Park!

    1.... ....

    Quite obvious, considering Chester doesn't sing here

  17. b.... ....

    some of the lyrics were reused on Reanimation's Frgt 10

    b.... ....

    yeah especially the " a window grows" part

  18. T.... ....

    Now that Chester is gone... maybe Mark could try again in Linkin Park? who agrees

    T.... ....

    Titirilquen no

    T.... ....

    Well he could make good music. But not as hard as Chesters

    T.... ....

    Idk making music...

    T.... ....

    Yes pls

    T.... ....

    Yes, I want more of Mark. Chester < Mark.

  19. C.... D....

    Sounds different from there other songs

  20. p.... t....

    I have theooriginal version -_- why doesn't anyone else have it on YouTube 0_0

    p.... t....

    Post it dude

  21. R.... B....

    Crazy hearing this version.. almost creepy in a way. Thank God they found Chester and created Linkin Park, gone too soon though.

    R.... B....

    Richard Boyce. I know they'll find a way; the spirit of chester is with them

  22. L.... G....

    Soo, Xero was the album or the band ?

    L.... G....

    LETS GET 1K SUBS WITH NO VIDEOS ! Band

    L.... G....

    LETS GET 1K SUBS WITH NO VIDEOS ! both lol Google it

    L.... G....

    The original name of lp then went to hybrid theory then lp

  23. A.... K....

    Chester and Mike are both good in their own way💜

    A.... K....

    +Oliver-Vic Carquinn I know that

    A.... K....

    Aesthetic Kitty. I can agree with agree.

    A.... K....

    This is Mark, not Chester.

  24. S.... ....

    Forgotten. Tough to decide which one is better. Both are unique.

  25. S.... D....

    Forgotten, almost exactly!

  26. g.... p....

    I'm a fan of LP since 2002 and just know that Mark is the first vocalist.. Hhahaha

  27. b.... d....

    one of the best

  28. T.... D....

    Mark is best.who is agree with me?

    T.... D....

    Raymond StPierre Although that would be lengendary, Mark went silent. We don't know where he is right now. The possibility of Mark ever returning is near impossible. I hate to say it but Linkin Park will probably find a new singer or the band will quit all together.

    T.... D....

    Toasted Roasted Apparently Mike and him are still friends so who knows, maybe he'll ask him someday.

    T.... D....

    The Dark Knight Yes I do agree with you.

  29. Y.... S....

    I guess you could say this song was Forgotten

    Y.... S....

    Plasma Nation AYY

    Y.... S....

    Plasma Nation thats what i was thinking

    Y.... S....

    crashpal Wrong. I don't care about Chester than Mark & Mike.

    Y.... S....

    Nobody notices the pun he made...

    Y.... S....

    Mark Wakefield > Chester Bennington

  30. C.... R....

    this was the original name of the song for forgotten

  31. G.... ....

    This is the shittiest song ever

    G.... ....

    One of the shittiest.

    G.... ....

    Plagueavat Well not as shitty as any kind of song either of you could ever make

    G.... ....

    well its their first album of course it sucks everything good starts out crappy

  32. k.... r....

    i like this scratch

  33. C.... P....

    thank god Mark left...

    C.... P....

    he was not that bad.

    C.... P....

    Might need to bring him back since rip chester

    C.... P....

    RichChanLikesTacos Mike and him are still friends.

    C.... P....

    Chester < Mark

  34. B.... L....

    Is it chester???

    B.... L....

    @Bella Lobo I think its Mark Wakefield

    B.... L....

    +Bella Lobo No, Chester wasn't in the band when they were xero

    B.... L....

    Bella Lobo Chester arrive after this project

  35. m.... ....

    Meno male che poi è arrivato chez!! *-*

    m.... ....

    +mabbadessa95 io preferisco questa versione

    m.... ....

    Ste canzoni le avevano registrate nella camera di Mike con un registratore su cassette,magari con una qualità decente e una voce meno distorta Mark Wakefield poteva essere decente.In quel periodo facevano già concerti,ma nessuno li ha registrati.

    m.... ....

    Però a me questa cacofonia mi piace

  36. Z.... V....

    Its a mixtape

    Z.... V....

    +Zero Verrin it's not really a mixtape

  37. Z.... V....

    It is a album but it was Xero cuz it was xero

    Z.... V....

    @Zero Verrin Nice one Zero!

  38. Z.... V....

    I love this its cooler than forgotten

    Z.... V....

    Noup :v

    Z.... V....

    I prefer this to "Forgotten" not only because of Mark.

  39. M.... ....

    The intro of Rhinestone could make a awesome ringtone...

  40. r.... ....

    OMG....this is prior to Chester's joining :O This is Xero. OMG....this is so weird :P

    r.... ....

    rojah13 actually no, Chester is in this song. You can tell by the sound of the scream

    r.... ....
