[Verse 1]
Skin feels tight
Like it’s tied to a chair
Teeth in my thoughts
Something hungry in there
You say "breathe"
But it drinks every breath
Laughs in my ear
Every inch, every step (tch—)
[Chorus]
Crawling
Under my skin again
Claws in the cracks I hid
Dragging me back to the pit I lived in
Crawling
Up from the floor I bled
Hissing that I’m half-dead
I keep on kicking but it’s
Crawling in
[Verse 2]
Eyes in the walls
They blink when I flinch
Voice in the vent
Spits my secrets in inch by inch
I scratch my name
In the rust, in the paint
Try to peel it away
But it sticks like a stain (hah—)
[Chorus]
Crawling
Under my skin again
Claws in the cracks I hid
Dragging me back to the pit I lived in
Crawling
Up from the floor I bled
Hissing that I’m half-dead
I keep on kicking but it’s
Crawling in
[Bridge]
[Whispered rap over distant growls]
You feed on the fear when the lights go dim
You live in the word that I choke back in
You laugh when I pray, when I grind my teeth
You carve your curse where the scars run deep
I’m done being dinner for the dark in my head (shh)
I bite back now
You can starve instead
[Chorus]
Crawling
Under my skin again
Claws in the cracks I hid
Dragging me back to the pit I lived in
Crawling
Up from the floor I bled
Hissing that I’m half-dead
You try to own me but I
Drag you
Out of my flesh, my head
Screaming your name till it’s dead
I keep on rising while you’re
Crawling in the dirt
