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
Face that awakes when I close my eyes
Face that watches everytime I lie
Face that laughs every time I fall
And watches everything
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
The face inside is hearing me
Right beneath my skin

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

I know I've got a face in me
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 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
Face that awakes when I close my eyes
Face that watches everytime they lie
Face that laughs everytime 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

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 your skin

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

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

(The sun)
It's like I'm
Paranoid looking over my back
It's like a
whirlwind inside of my head
It's like
I can't stop what I'm hearing within
(I feel the light betray me)
It's like the face inside is right beneath your skin
(The sun)
It's like I'm
Paranoid looking over my back
It's like a
whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I
can't stop what I'm hearing within
(I feel the light betray me)
It's like I
Can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like
I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
