[Intro - whispered, paranoid, raspy] Something's under my skin... Something's under my skin... [Verse 1 - low, slow, creeping] There's a crawling in my body that I cannot scratch away Something living in my muscles, something breathing in my veins I can feel it moving slowly, I can feel it taking space And I see it in the mirror when I look at my own face I don't know what it wants, I don't know what it needs But I know it's getting stronger every time my heart bleeds They say it's in my head, they say I'm going mad But the crawling is the only real thing I ever had [Chorus - shouted, harsh, manic] CRAWLING SKIN! CRAWLING BONES! SOMETHING IN MY BODY THAT I CAN'T CONTROL! CRAWLING SKIN! CRAWLING MIND! SOMETHING IN MY FLESH THAT I CAN'T FIND! CRAWLING SKIN! CRAWLING SOUL! SOMETHING IN MY CHEST THAT ATE ME WHOLE! CRAWLING SKIN! CRAWLING MEAT! SOMETHING IN MY BLOOD THAT I CAN'T BEAT! [Verse 2 - faster, aggressive, raspy] I tried to cut it out, I tried to burn it clean But the more I try to kill it, the more it gets between The layers of my body, the layers of my brain And the only thing that's left of me is the crawling and the pain I don't sleep, I just twitch, I don't eat, I just shake And the crawling is the only thing that keeps me awake I don't want a doctor, I don't want a pill I just want to feel the crawling stop before I kill [Chorus] CRAWLING SKIN! CRAWLING BONES! SOMETHING IN MY BODY THAT I CAN'T CONTROL! CRAWLING SKIN! CRAWLING MIND! SOMETHING IN MY FLESH THAT I CAN'T FIND! CRAWLING SKIN! CRAWLING SOUL! SOMETHING IN MY CHEST THAT ATE ME WHOLE! CRAWLING SKIN! CRAWLING MEAT! SOMETHING IN MY BLOOD THAT I CAN'T BEAT! [Bridge - slow, heavy, spoken with reverb] It's not under my skin... I am... under... its skin... [Verse 3 - screaming, chaotic] I AM THE INSECT THAT BURROWS IN YOUR SPINE! I AM THE PARASITE THAT EATS YOU FROM INSIDE! EVERY TWITCH YOU EVER FELT IS ME SAYING HELLO! EVERY NIGHT YOU SCRATCH YOUR ARMS IS ME WATCHING YOU GO! CRAWL! CRAWL! CRAWL UNTIL YOU'RE HOLLOW! CRAWL UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT FOR YOU TO SWALLOW! I DON'T WANT YOUR BODY! I DON'T WANT YOUR NAME! I JUST WANT TO CRAWL INSIDE AND MAKE YOU FEEL THE SAME! [Outro - fading, whispered] Crawling... Crawling... Always... crawling... [End - single distorted bass drop into silence]
