Mike Shinoda
Crawling (Live Reading Festival 2003)
[Intro: Chester Bennington]
Here's what we want
Everyone who knows the words for this next song
I wanna hear you sing it with everything you've gotten inside you
I wanna hear the beautiful voices of the people [?] here tonight, alright?
Make some noise if you think, you can help us out with that
Alright, we're gonna be listening
Are y'all ready? Let's go
Let's go
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
[Interlude: Chester Bennington]
Alright, we're waiting to hеar it
You're ready?
[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
Therе's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending
Controlling, now, I can't seem
Beautiful!
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
To find myself again, my walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before, so insecure
Everybody sing!
[Chorus: Chester Bennington, Crowd]
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal (You're fucking amazing)
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will, I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
To find myself again, my walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence
I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before, so insecure
Alright, guys, give it all you got with your voice, let's go!!
[Chorus: Chester Bennington, Crowd]
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal (C'mon)
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
[Outro: Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda]
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface consuming
Confusing what is real
This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending, controlling
Confusing what is real
