Papercut

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
Like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that I watch every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(It watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
The face inside is here in me
Right underneath my skin

It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind's 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

I know I've got a face in me
It points out all the mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside, too
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first
But I know what I can't stand
Everybody laughs, but 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 that I watch every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(It 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

It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind's 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
It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back
It's like a whirlwind's 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

The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin

The sun goes down
I feel the night betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the night betray me

(It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back)
The sun goes down
(It's like a whirlwind's 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)
I feel the night betray me
(It's like I'm paranoid, looking over my back)
The sun goes down
(It's like a whirlwind's inside of my head)
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
(It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within)
I feel the night betray me
(It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within)
The sun goes down
(It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin)
