Verse 1: 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 everytime I lie A face that laughs everytime 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 skin Chorus: It'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 skin Verse 2: I 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 they close their eyes A face watches them everytime 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 skin Chorus: It'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 skin [x2] Bridge/Ending: The sun goes down I feel the light betray me [x2] It'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 skin [x2]
