about

To be blunt, this song is about scabies... and using such a plight as a metaphor for denial, ever encroaching debilitating anxiety, & a mounting of desires...

lyrics

there's an infestation crawling in my skin
and there's a sensation of insatiable itchin'
like all of my anxieties-
scratching out from deep within
all my fears and phobias crawling beneath my skin-
crawling beneath my skin

and oh these nocturnal nuisances are eating me alive
just keep telling myself wait it out, wait it out, just a little longer while
i can no longer hold the burden of my own denial
- just stuff it in bags and stack it up in haphazard piles

for there's an infestation crawling in my skin
oh there's the sensation of insatiable itchin'
as the gravity-of the reality
slowly starts to sink in
and always oh always itchin'
i am numb yet crawling in my skin
oh i am numb and crawling in my skin

and from these nocturnal nuisances i feel i'll never be free
just kept asking myself what it could be oh i wonder what could this mean...
for i didn't want to look at the way i was living-
and to go on pretending was easier than admitting-
the blame...

oh and these nocturnal nuisances have me feeling dirty...
just kept telling myself no it cant be oh no it couldn't be...
for i didn't want to look at the way i was thinking,
and to go on ignoring it was easier than admitting-
the shame...

so now there's an infestation crawling in my skin
there's an obsession of insatiable itchin'
like all of my fantasies-
scratching out from deep within
oh all my secret longing for to crawling beneath my skin
oh crawling beneath my skin...

oh now there's an infestation
oh there's an obsession
oh there's a sensation
of insatiable itchin'
oh insatiable itchin'...
