Chester, yıllardan beri "LP'de yaptığım müzik dışında kendimi ifade edeceğim yeni bir proje arıyordum" diyor. Dead by Sunrise, ilk şarkılarını
'de yayınladı. İlk izlenim, şarkıların LP’den daha old school, daha rock'n'roll ve daha karanlık olduğu yönünde. Mike Shinoda, “Chester, kendi evinde sürekli akustik gitarla harika şarkılar çalar, o şarkılar, karnınıza yumruk gibi inen bir albüm haline geldi" diyor.
Dead by Sunrise, Chester dışında Julien-K yeleri Amir ve Ryan'dan oluşuyor ancak kendi sitesinde bile "Chester Bennington'un solo albümü" yazıyor. Chester, 2006'da "Minutes to Midnight"ı hazırlarken bazı şarkılar yazmış ancak şarkıların LP ile alakası yokmuş. Bunları LP şarkısı haline getirene kadar kurcalamak yerine, kendi başına çalışmaya karar vermiş. Grubun adı, o günlerde Snow White Tan'miş.
"Out of Ashes"ın kayıtları, Temmuz 2008'de başladı. Kayıtların bir yıl sürmesinin sebebi, aynı anda LP'nin dördüncü albümünün kayıtlarının da yapılıyor olmasıydı.
'Crawl Back In" ve ‘Let Down'a video çekildi. Albümün ilk single'ı 'Crawl Back In' de 16 Ağustos'ta yayınlandı
Chester'n içindeki sanatsal üretim hissiyatına ket vurmak istemeyip de oluşturduğu yeni bir oluşum; dead By Sunrise. daha önce verdiği demeçlerden birinde. bu isme ('' Günün Doğmasıyla Ölü'') karar verişini şöyle anlatıyor Chester; '' Grubun ismini Snow White Tan koymayı düşünüyorduk.
Fakat o sıralarda. bu albüm için şarkıları oluşturmaya başladığım o ilk anlarda o kadar hızlı bir parti vardı ki... Evet. her gece partiliyorduk. birçoğu pek eğlenceli geçmese de sabahın ilk ışıklarına kadar takılıyorduk. bir süre güneşi göremeden yaşadım diyebilirim. O sıralarda kendime aslında zarar verdiğimi de fark ettim. Bu grup beni yeniden ayağa kaldıracak olan motivasyonu yakalamamda önemli bir rol oynadı. Bir meydan okuma gibiydi.
İsmi de o dönemi düşünerek seçtim işte. Kulağa hoş geliyor ve müziğimizdeki karanlığı da iyi temsil ediyor.''
Grubun olayı Chester, Linkin Park'n son albümü '' Minutes To Midnight''ın(2007) yazım aşamasındayken böyle bir grubu kurmasının arkasındaki sebebi ise şöyle açıklıyor; '' Linkin Park'n stiline uymayacak ama beni iyi hissettiren ve iyi tınlayan birkaç şarkı yazmıştım. Grupla ilgili birlikte yazdığım her şeyden daha karanlık ve daha atmosferiktiler. Ben de bu şarkılarla oynayıp onları birer Linkin Park şarkısına çevirmeyi çalışmaktansa kendime saklamayı tercih ettim.
Ve sonra da bu şarkıları kullanabileceğim farklı bir grup oluşturma fikrine kapıldım.'' Dead By Sunrise'ın gitaristlerinden Ryan Shuck ise grubun köklerine şöyle ışık tutuyor ; '' Henüz Linkin Park ilk albümünü yeni çıkardığı zamanlarda bile Chester'la takılırdık. Onun evindeyken akustik gitariyla çaldığı bazı deneme şarkılara bayılırdım.''
''Linkin Park İle Kıyaslamayın''
Kaliforniyalı endüstriyel rock grubu Julien-K ve yine aynı bölgeden meşhur synth rock grubu Orgy'de yer alan gitaristler Ami Derakh ve Ryan Shuck'n yanı sıra Julien-K'n geriye kalan iki elemanı da basçı Brandon Belsky ve davulcu Elias Andra bu proje için Chester ile çalışmayı kabul ettiler. Chester bir de Anthony ''Fu'' Valcic'i klavyeci olarak ekibe dahil etti ve kıvılcım ateşlendi ! Geçtiğimiz günlerde yayınladıkları ilk albümleri '' Out Of Ashes'' için Cehster'n sözleri ile bitirelim;
'' Herkes bunu yapacak biliyorum ama ben bu albümün LP albümleri ile kıyaslanmasını istemiyorum. Burada hem şarkı sözlerinde hem de müzikal anlamda daha karanlık ve dolaysız bir anlatım var. Burada Daha geniş sınıflarımız var. Kendimizi hiçbir şekilde kısıtlamadık ve bu yüzden şarkıların farklı tarzlardan beslenen bir yapısı var.''

No need to hear your voice or see your face
to know that you are with me
No need to kiss your lips or hold your hand
to know that you can feel me, I know that you can feel me
When I look to the stars
I know just where you are
You're looking down upon me (you're looking down upon me)
When I look to the stars
I know just where you are
You're looking down upon me (you're looking down upon me)
No need to get locked up inside the past
I know it isn't changing (ohhhhh)
No need to let you go or say goodbye
I know that you'll be waiting, know that you'll be waiting
When I look to the stars
I know just where you are
You're looking down upon me (you're looking down upon me)
When I look to the stars
I know just where you are
You're looking down upon me (you're looking down upon me)
On the other side!
On the other side!
I've got to find a way
to keep my pain from burning down to the bone
I've got to find a way
to keep my pain from burning down to the bone
Down to the bone!
When I look to the stars
I know just where you are

I know just where you are
You're looking down upon me (you're looking down upon me)
Crawl Back In
[youtube]-ycKNQJSrbE[/youtube]
Sometimes I look at my own face
And I don't know who I am
I see a face of everyone I know
Buried underneath my skin
I don't want to be like them
I want to crawl back in
It's hard to think of anything that I haven't heard before
I hear these voices in my head
They could be mine but I'm not sure
I hear them telling me who they think they should be
Why won't they leave me alone
I can't deny it I try to fight it
But I'm losing control
I don't want to be like them
I want to crawl back in
Don't want to lose my innocence
Don't want the world second guessing at my heart
Won't let your lies take a piece of my soul
Don't want to take your medicine
I want to crawl back in
Sometimes I lie
Sometimes I crawl
Sometimes I feel like I want to die
I don't want to be like them
I want to crawl back in
Don't want to lose my innocence
Don't want the world second guessing at my heart
Won't let your lies take a piece of my soul
Don't want to take your medicine
I want to crawl back in
I want to crawl back in
Too Late
[youtube]aGF5UuwmlsA&feature=PlayList&p=948100AD4D0A0073&in dex=2[/youtube]
It's cold and dark I think I'm going insane,
The end is coming it's true,
I'm all alone and I am screaming your name,
It seems that's all I can do
But it's too late to turn back now
It's too loud to hear a sound,
I'm so lost I can't be found,
It's too late to turn back now
It's hard to focus when your life is a blur,
It's hard to see the truth,
How can I move on when there's so much to learn,
And every road comes back to you?
But it's too late to turn back now
(it's too late to turn back now)
It's too loud to hear a sound,
(It's too loud to hear a sound)
I'm so lost I can't be found (can't be found),
It's too late to turn back now
[solo]
But it's too late to turn back now
(it's too late to turn back now)
It's too loud to hear a sound,
(It's too loud to hear a sound)
I'm so lost I can't be found (can't be found),
It's too late to turn back now
Now....
I'm so lost I can't be found (can't be found),
It's too late to turn back now

I feel my time is slipping away,
Every minute gone by seems like today,
I'll never get back the things I've lost along the way
What the hell is wrong with me?
This isn't who I'm supposed to be!
(Whoa-oh)
I feel all alone everyday
(Whoa-oh)
And you're so far away
(Whoa-oh)
I know something's got to change, inside of me!
What is it that I'm running from
My head is like a loaded gun
Every thought is trapped inside this web I've spun
What the hell is wrong with me?
This isn't who I'm supposed to be!
(Whoa-oh)
I feel all alone everyday
(Whoa-oh)
And you're so far away
(Whoa-oh)
I know something's got to change, inside of me!

(Whoa-oh)
I feel all alone everyday
(Whoa-oh)

Let Down
[youtube]xrmrOv9QAac[/youtube]
And the tears fall like rain, down my face again,
Oh the words you wouldn't say,
And the games you played with my young foolish heart,
Oh I should have known this from the start.
Oh the winter and spring,
Going hand in hand just like my love and pain,
How the thought of you cuts deep within the vein,
Brand new skin stretched across scarred terrain
Said, I don't wanna be let down,
I don't wanna live that life again,
Don't wanna be led down the same old road,
(I don't wanna be let down)
Said, I don't wanna be let down,
I don't wanna live my lies again,
Don't wanna be led down the same old road.
Ohh....
All those years down the drain,
Love was not enough when you want everything.
What I gave to you, and now the end must start,
Oh, I should've listened to my heart
Said, I don't wanna be let down,
I don't wanna live that life again,
Don't wanna be led down the same old road,
(I don't wanna be let down)
Said, I don't wanna be let down,
I don't wanna live my lies again,
Don't wanna be led down the same old road.
Ohh...
'Cause,I don't wanna be let down,
I don't wanna live that life again,
Don't wanna be led down the same old road,
(I don't wanna be let down)
Said, I don't wanna be let down,
I don't wanna live my lies again,
I don't wanna be led down the same old road
(I don't wanna be let down)
I don't wanna be led down the same old road
(I don't wanna be let down)
Give Me Your Name

Give me your smile, give me your name girl,
Give me a sign to guide my way,
And get what I've came for (you),
'Cause you don't come easy
Give me your hand, come walk with me girl,
Nothing's that far when you're near,
So come even closer to me,
Something so easy to do
And then I fall into the ocean (into the ocean),
Inside of your arms, taking me deeper
To where all the pain goes
Give me your smile, give me your name girl,
Let them know that you're mine,
And I'll do the same for you,
Cause our love comes easy
And then I fall into the ocean (into the ocean),
Inside of your arms, taking me deeper
To where all the pain goes
[solo]
And then I fall into the ocean (into the ocean),
Inside of your arms, taking me deeper
To where all the pain goes
And then I fall into the ocean (into the ocean),
Inside of your life, taking me deeper,
Giving me new life
You're mine...
You're mine...
My Suffering
[youtube]fYfqtk_wQjk&feature=PlayList&p=948100AD4D0A0073&in dex=6[/youtube]
I’ve reached the end and I don’t know
(What I believe in anymore)
There’s something crazy running wild inside my brain
I’ve seen the truth become my lie
(Bearing my chains, swallow my pride)
I’ve crossed the line and I know there’s no turning back
You kiss away all of my pain
You wash away these bloody stains
You are to blame, my suffering
My, my, my suffering
You kiss away all of my pain
You wash away these bitter stains
You are to blame, my suffering
My, my, my suffering
I’ve seen the devil in her smile
(I’ve found salvation in a vile)
My happy ending exists only in my dreams…
You kiss away all of my pain
You wash away these bloody stains
You are to blame, my suffering
My, my, my suffering
You kiss away all of my pain
You wash away these bitter stains
You are to blame, my suffering
My suffering!
You kiss away all of my pain
You wash away these bloody stains
You are to blame, my suffering
My, my, my suffering
You kiss away all of my pain
You wash away these bitter stains
You are to blame, my suffering
You kiss away all of my pain
You wash away these bloody stains
You are to blame, my suffering
My, my, my suffering
My, my, my suffering
My, my, my suffering
My suffering

Happiness for misery (I want it),
Cut me up and leave me (for dead),
Sacrifice a simple life (no return),
Kiss the wife and kids goodbye (for good),
Come on beat me
I’m not a man
Go on and kill me
Condemned
Use me as a chemical (I’m burning),
Love me like a suicide (commit),
Treat me like an animal (I like it),
Put me on my leash again (your pet),
Suck the soul right out of me (don’t need it),
Happiness for misery (the end),
Come on beat me
I’m not a man
Go on and kill me
Condemned
Condemned!

Smoke another cigarette, it kills the pain
That’s all that’s left of me anymore
Choke on all my regrets, feeling a strain in every breath
Stumble as I crawl
Then I fall into you
and I fade away (fall)
I fall into you
and I fade…
Like a crutch you carry me without restraint
Back to a place where I am not alone
I’m a man whose tragedies have been replaced
With memories tattooed upon my soul
Then I fall into you
and I fade away (fall)
I fall into you
and I fade…
You said time to tear down the walls
You know not everything’s your fault
But in a way, our mistakes have brought us here today
You say just look how far you’ve come
Despite all those things you’ve done
You’ll always be the one, to catch me when I
Fall into you
and I fade away (fall)
I fall into you
and I fade…
(Say goodbye to yesterday) Say goodbye to yesterday
I made it through
I'm here today, despite what I was told
(You were there to rescue me) You were there to rescue me
You shined your light so I could see
Then I fall into you
and I fade away (fall)
I fall into you
and I fade…
I fall into you
and I fade away (fall)
I fall into you
and I fade…
End of the World
[youtube]XQfdZU1dD3E&feature=PlayList&p=948100AD4D0A0073&in dex=9[/youtube]
When you read the news, does it make you sick?
Murder, money, politics
Gonna fill you up, get your bullshit fix
It’s the end of the world
Grab your crucifix and fall to your knees
And beg god please, have mercy on me (Mercy!)
When you turn on the TV, what do you get?
Sex, lies, scandal, violence
Like the end of a gun pressed against your lips
It’s the end of the world
Grab your crucifix and fall to your knees
And beg God please, have mercy on me
When you can’t buy gas and you can’t pay rent
And what you’ve got left is the governments
No win, no future, no benefit
It’s the end of the world
Grab your crucifix and fall to your knees
And beg God please, have mercy on me
Come on out of the hypocrisy
Come on out of the bureaucracy
Come on in, I need a war machine
You can’t ignore what you cannot see
You can’t believe in a lie
You can't run away from anything
Until you open your eyes
No rest for the wicked, yeah they never quit
Watching, waiting for the next trick
We won’t be celebrating when the atom’s split
It’s the end of the world
Grab your crucifix and fall to your knees
And beg God please, have mercy on me
Come on out of the hypocrisy
Come on out of the bureaucracy
Come on in, I need a war machine
You can’t ignore what you cannot see
You can’t believe in a lie
You can't run away from anything
Until you open your eyes
Come on out of the hypocrisy
Come on out of the bureaucracy
Come on in, I need a war machine
Walking in Circles
[youtube]x0lsoCEkVg8&feature=related[/youtube]
Quiet, everyone’s sleeping through life
Afraid that their questions just might have answers
Quiet, everyone’s shut off their minds
So I’ll turn on mine
Alone in a world with millions of souls
Walking in circles
Trapped in their dreams; unhealthy, unclean
Walking in circles
Now, do not disturb
Screaming silence, everyone’s sleeping
Quiet, we’re living inside of our mouths
Afraid someone just might hear what we’re thinking
Quiet, careful of what you might say
‘Cause they’ll put you away
Alone in a world with millions of souls
Walking in circles (walking in circles)
Trapped in their dreams; unhealthy, unclean
Walking in circles
Now, do not disturb
Screaming silence, everyone’s sleeping
[solo]
Alone in a world with millions of souls
Walking in circles (walking in circles)
Trapped in their dreams; unhealthy, unclean
Walking in circles
Now, do not disturb
Screaming silence, everyone’s sleeping
(Walking in circles now) Alone in a world with millions of souls
(Walking in circles now) Walking in circles
(Walking in circles now) Alone in a world with millions of souls
(Walking in circles now) Walking in circles
Do not disturb
Screaming silence, everyone’s sleeping

And pull you within (and pull you within)
My heart burns like the sun (my heart burns like the sun)
As our flesh becomes one (as our flesh becomes one)
In the darkness
My heart aches at the sight of you
Trembles and quakes when inside of you
In the darkness
Our bodies burning,
Tongues are turning somehow stopping time
What is becoming of my heart of mine
In the darkness,
All that you want from me is all I have to give
In the darkness,
Coming so easily, learning how to live
In the darkness,
All that you want from me is all I have to give
In the darkness,
Coming so easily, learning how to live
I will surrender my soul (I will surrender my soul)
And give you control (and give you control)
Make me a martyr for love (make me a martyr for love)
To the Heaven’s above (to the Heaven’s above)

My heart aches at the sight of you
Trembles and quakes when inside of you

Morning After

Caught up against the wall again,
Tied my chain to the ball again,
It never seems to amaze my mind
So I just sleep, sleep, sleep,
Sleep, sleep, sleep!
Please don't...
Wake me 'til the morning after
Wake me 'til the morning after
Wake me 'til the morning after
Cut and bruised by the fall again
Lick my wounds like a dog again
Is that a light at the end of the tunnel that I see, I see
Please let it be but don't wake me 'til the morning after
Wake me 'til the morning after
Wake me 'til the morning after
I'm so tired, there has got to be an end
To the pain I feel when I'm awake and alive, alive, alive
Alive and I'm dreaming
Caught up against the wall again,
Tied my chain to the ball again,
It never seems to amaze my mind
So I just sleep, sleep, sleep,
Sleep, sleep, sleep!
Please don't...
Wake me 'til the morning after
Wake me 'til the morning after
Wake me 'til the morning after
Wake me 'til the morning after
I'm so tired, there has got to be an end
To the pain I feel when I'm awake and alive, alive, alive
Alive and I'm dreaming...
