The demo version of “Crawling” features more vocalizations from Mike Shinoda, being more prominent with the whispers after Chester Bennington’s verses as well as a bridge that was removed from the final version of the song.
[Intro: Chester Bennington]
Ahh! I hate you so much right now
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is powerful
Confusing what is real
[Verse 1: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface (beneath the surface)
Consuming (consuming), confusing (confusing)
This lack of self-control, I find so overwhelming (so overwhelming)
Controlling (controlling), I can't seem
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
To find the strength within, my walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
That there's just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before, so insecure
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is powerful
Confusing what is real
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
This comfort endlessly has made itself upon me (itself upon me)
Distracting (distracting), reacting
Against my will, I stand beside my own reflection (my own reflection)
It's haunting (it's haunting) how I can't seem
[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
To find the strength within, my walls are closing in
Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
That there's just too much pressure to take
I've felt this way before, so insecure
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Raindrops put the rhythm on the pavement
And drip from the blacktop into the basement
Traces of the rain pervade this
To erase your hate and take this from the fakeness
Raindrops put the rhythm on the pavement
And drip from the blacktop into the basement
Traces of the rain pervade this
To erase your hate and take this from the fakeness
Raindrops put the rhythm on the pavement (To find the strength within, my walls are closing in)
And drip from the blacktop into the basement
Traces of the rain pervade this
To erase your hate and take this from the fakeness
Raindrops put the rhythm on the pavement (I've felt this way before, so insecure)
And drip from the blacktop into the basement
Traces of the rain pervade this
To erase your hate and take this from the fakeness
[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is powerful
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is powerful
Confusing what is real
