Background
"Ground Xero" was a song found by community member Astat on a random Kazaa Lite search in early 2005 with the filename "Wakefield - Ground Xero.mp3." At first, he thought it was a song by the band Wakefield, but he downloaded it anyway. To his surprise, it sounded nothing like the band Wakefield. Based purely on the voice and the fact that no one have ever been able to attribute it to any other artist, it is believed to be a Mark Wakefield solo song.[1] It eventually became publicly available on April 14, 2005 when it was posted by the now defunct fan site ChesterSings.[2]
Mike Shinoda commented on the song on the Linkin Park Message Boards saying "Nope, not real. Doesn't even sound like us LOL",[3] but that could just mean he thought people were calling it a Xero song, thus the authenticity of the song is yet to be confirmed or denied. If it is authentic, it would've been recorded sometime in the late 90s after Mark left Xero.

Lyrics
Don't worry about the time
Just watch the sun set
I keep my feelings bottled up
Things that I've regret
Oh can it be
Up to me right now
Everything's so lovely
In the sky right now
I want to take it back
But I don't know how
Can you chase the rainbow
To find its end
Take me to your Ground Xero
Back again
I simply wish that I
Could feel the way you do
I just outta again
Standin' next to you
Gone overboard
And restore my pain
Everything's so lovely
In the sky right now
I want to take it back
But I don't know how
Can you chase the rainbow
To find its end
Take me to your Ground Xero
Back again
