Linkin Park — Crawling Live from Athens 2009

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda] Turn my mic up louder, I got to say something Lightweights step it aside when we come in Feel it in your chest, the syllables get pumping People on the street, they panic and start running Words on loose-leaf sheet complete coming I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme I'm dumping Healing the blind, I promise to let the sun in Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping Fuck that, I wanna see some fists pumping Risk something, take back what's yours Say something that you know they might attack you for 'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for Like this war's really just a different brand of war Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor Like they understand you in the back of the jet When you can't put gas in your tank These fuckers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing the check Asking you to have compassion and have some respect For a leader so nervous in an obvious way Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day In the living room laughing, like, "What did he say?" [Chorus: Chester Bennington] Crawling in my skin These wounds, they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real [Verse 2: Chester Bennington] There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface Consuming, confusing This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending Controlling, 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 [Chorus: Chester Bennington] Crawling in my skin These wounds, they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real [Verse 3: 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 [Chorus: Chester Bennington] Crawling in my skin These wounds, they will not heal 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
