Crawling
Linkin Park Lyrics

Crawling in my skin
Feeling trapped and uncomfortable with oneself

These wounds, they will not heal
Past traumas and struggles continue to affect the present

Fear is how I fall
Anxiety and insecurity contribute to one's struggles

Confusing what is real
Difficulty distinguishing reality from inner turmoil

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
An underlying internal struggle is affecting one's thoughts and emotions

Consuming, confusing
Overwhelming and disorienting

This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Concern that one will never be able to manage or overcome their internal struggles

Controlling
The internal struggles are dictating one's thoughts and actions

I can't seem to find myself again
Feeling lost and disconnected from oneself

My walls are closing in
Feeling overwhelmed and trapped by one's struggles

(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
Lacking self-assurance and overwhelmed by the challenges faced

I've felt this way before
Experiencing these struggles in the past

So insecure
Feeling vulnerable and unsure of oneself

Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Continually feeling uneasy and restless

Distracting, reacting
Easily sidetracked and reactive to external stimuli

Against my will, I stand beside my own reflection
Feeling powerless or forced to confront one's own struggles and insecurities

It's haunting how I can't seem
Finding the lack of control over one's inner turmoil unsettling

Confusing, confusing what is real
Struggling to differentiate between the internal and external realities
