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 a 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
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 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

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
