Castle of Glass – Written By Chester Bennington
This song is performed by Linkin Park; the music video is about war. War is a “hot button” for me. I was consumed with the message the song brought to the poignant video, but now that I know the tortured life Chester Bennington lived from age 7-13 at the hands of a male rapist, I see the song so very differently……my dear friend, Chester….I am deeply sorry…..you have been telling, shouting, pleading with us all for so very long. May your soul find peace.
Take me down to the river bend
Take me down to the fighting end
Wash the poison from off my skin
Show me how to be whole again
Fly me up on a silver wing
Past the black where the sirens sing
Warm me up in a nova’s glow
And drop me down to the dream below
‘Cause I’m only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see
Bring me home in a blinding dream,
Through the secrets that I have seen
Wash the sorrow from off my skin
And show me how to be whole again
‘Cause I’m only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see
‘Cause I’m only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything else I need to be
‘Cause I’m only a crack in this castle of glass
Hardly anything there for you to see
For you to see
For you to see
