Rest in Peace, Chester Bennington

I'm dancing with my demons
I'm hanging off the edge
Storm clouds gather beneath me
Waves break above my head
...
You tell me it's alright
Tell me I'm forgiven tonight
But nobody can save me now
—Linkin Park, "Nobody Can Save Me"

Linkin Park and I always had a strange relationship. It was sort of this on again-off again thing. That's happened before with a few bands where our timing was just never right; eventually, the relationship flatlines and I hardly remember it existed. With Linkin Park, I always came back, but I was perpetually behind, oddly out of sync. I would find out they released an album months earlier or I would put off buying an album because of other priorities.
