The Lyrics to Linkin Park’s New Song ‘The Emptiness Machine’

Linkin Park are back with the brand new song “The Emptiness Machine.”It’s been a long time coming for Linkin Park fans. The band’s last original song released was the One More Light title track, issued as a single in October 2017 after the death of Chester Bennington. Since that time, they’ve kept fans engaged with bonus cuts that have filled out their Hybrid Theory and Meteora 20th anniversary editions as well as “Friendly Fire” and “QWERTY” that were included on their Papercuts singles collection.But “The Emptiness Machine” provides Linkin Park fans with their first new music in quite some time and gives a spotlight to the group’s new co-vocalist Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara fame. The group has also added songwriter/producer Colin Brittain on drums  The song is the first single from the band’s upcoming new album, From Zero.The track starts off with Mike Shinoda taking the lead on the first verse, building up until Armstrong joins in and delivers her raspy scream as they approach the chorus.Get a closer look at the lyrics for the song below.Linkin Park, “The Emptiness Machine” LyricsYour blades are sharpened with precisionFlashing your favorite point of viewI know you’re waiting in the distanceJust like you always doJust like you always doAlready pulling me inAlready under my skinAnd I know exactly how this ends, ILet you cut me openJust to watch me bleedGave up who I am for who you wanted me to beDon’t know why I’m hopingFor what I won’t receiveFalling for the promise ofThe emptiness machineThe emptiness machineGoing around like a revolverIt’s been decided how we lose’Cause there’s a fire under the altarI keep on lying toI keep on lying toAlready pulling me inAlready under my skinAnd I know exactly how this ends, ILet you cut me openJust to watch me bleedGave up who I am for who you wanted me to beDon’t know why I’m hopingFor what I won’t receiveFalling for the promise ofThe emptiness machineThe emptiness machineI only wanted to be part of somethingI only wanted to be part of, part ofI only wanted to be part of somethingI only wanted to be part of, part ofI only wanted to be part of somethingI only wanted to be partI let you cut me openJust to watch me bleedGave up who I am for who you wanted me to beDon’t know why I’m hopingSo fucking naiveFalling for the promise ofThe emptiness machineThe emptiness machine[I only wanted to be part of something]The emptiness machine[I only wanted to be part of]The emptiness machineLinkin Park, “The Emptiness Machine”READ MORE: What Linkin Park Performed at 2017 Chester Bennington Tribute ShowLinkin Park in 2024/2025With the band having debuted new music during their livestreamed concert, that opens the door for what comes next.
