Crawling
Linkin Park · 2001
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- Confusing what is real
- There's something inside me
- That pulls beneath the surface
- Consuming, confusing
Echo the hook
- 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
