Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here`s not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia`s all I got left
I don`t know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It`s like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it`s time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skinIt`s like I`m paranoid lookin` over my back
It`s like a whirlwind inside of my head
It`s like I can`t stop what I`m hearing within
It`s like the face inside is right beneath my skinI know I`ve got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You`ve got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia`s probably worse
I don`t know what set me off first but I know what I can`t stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can`t add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
So you know that when it`s time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skinChorusThe face inside is right beneath your skin (3x)The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end)Chorus (Repeat until end)
