Digging down, digging down, digging down in the dirt
Sweat it out, sweat it out till it doesn't burn
In the dark, in the dark it can hear when I breathe
Now it's closing in on me
It's getting louder now, it's getting louder now
Don't make another sound (I can feel it coming to life)
It's getting closer now, it's getting closer now
It's gonna run me down (I can feel it coming to life)
I can feel it coming to life
I can feel it coming
Take me to my grave, save me
(I can feel it coming to life)
Chain me to my cage, save me
(I can feel it coming to life)
Trying to feel, trying to heal, trying to kill the disease
Picking flesh, picking bone from between my teeth
No sleep, no sleep when you run with the beasts
(No sleep, no sleep)
Now they're closing in on me
It's getting louder now, it's getting louder now
Don't make another sound (I can feel it coming to life)
It's getting closer now, it's getting closer now
Don't let it take me out (I can feel it coming to life)
Take me to my grave, save me
I can feel it coming to life
Chain me to my cage, save me
I can feel it coming to life
I can feel it coming to life
I can feel it coming to life
It's killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me
It's killing me slow, killing me slow
It's killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me
It's killing me slow, killing me slow
It's killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me
It's killing me slow, killing me slow
Take me to my grave, save me
I can feel it coming to life
Chain me to my cage, save me
I can feel it coming to life
(From the inside out)
I can feel it coming to life
(From the inside out)
I can feel it coming to life
I can feel it coming to life
Yeah, I can feel it coming to life
Sweat it out, sweat it out till it doesn't burn
In the dark, in the dark it can hear when I breathe
Now it's closing in on me
It's getting louder now, it's getting louder now
Don't make another sound (I can feel it coming to life)
It's getting closer now, it's getting closer now
It's gonna run me down (I can feel it coming to life)
I can feel it coming to life
I can feel it coming
Take me to my grave, save me
(I can feel it coming to life)
Chain me to my cage, save me
(I can feel it coming to life)
Trying to feel, trying to heal, trying to kill the disease
Picking flesh, picking bone from between my teeth
No sleep, no sleep when you run with the beasts
(No sleep, no sleep)
Now they're closing in on me
It's getting louder now, it's getting louder now
Don't make another sound (I can feel it coming to life)
It's getting closer now, it's getting closer now
Don't let it take me out (I can feel it coming to life)
Take me to my grave, save me
I can feel it coming to life
Chain me to my cage, save me
I can feel it coming to life
I can feel it coming to life
I can feel it coming to life
It's killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me
It's killing me slow, killing me slow
It's killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me
It's killing me slow, killing me slow
It's killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me, killing me
It's killing me slow, killing me slow
Take me to my grave, save me
I can feel it coming to life
Chain me to my cage, save me
I can feel it coming to life
(From the inside out)
I can feel it coming to life
(From the inside out)
I can feel it coming to life
I can feel it coming to life
Yeah, I can feel it coming to life

The bands frontman Trenton Woodley explains "The lyrics grew from the idea that every one of us has a part of ourselves that we hate – a monster that seems to come to the surface when we turn our backs for a moment. I wanted to bake in the fear, the panic, the self-doubt of bringing something to life, but also the confidence and swagger of accepting that you are both Jekyll and Hyde – and owning it. I scribbled down in my notepad ‘Yeah, I’m running from my problems and you probably should too’. Even though it wasn’t ever meant to be a lyric, it was the attitude that I wanted to carry through."
