lyrics

Crawling under my skin
I feel it inside of me
Like the rust on my bones
A part of me wants to keep
This stranger in
Let it breathe with me again
Take over my head
Lie to me, Keep me for yourself
& I'll let you, keep me for yourself
You're in my skin
I feel it closing in
On the part of me
That I still control
And all my empty
Thoughts will fade
Into a lucid dream
Take over, let me hear it
Lie to me, Keep me for yourself
& I'll let you, keep me for yourself
How could I
Deny the thoughts
That ease the pain
The parasite
Inside of me
& I hear you
Calling out my name
Begging me to stay
But I can't leave it
Crawling under my skin
I feel it
Inside of me
Like the rust on my bones
& all my empty thoughts
Will fade
Into a lucid dream
While they deceive me
I won't listen to you anymore
But I can hear it crawling
I won't listen to you anymore
I won't let you
Lie to me, Keep me for yourself
& I'll let you, keep me for yourself
