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 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 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 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

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

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

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 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
