Why
Night today
So many years not right today
Why am I so uptight today
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what strikes 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 I watch every time 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 underneath my skin

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
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 up 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 every time they lie
Face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
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 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 the skin
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
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 looking over my back (The sun)
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 (I feel the light betray me)
It's like I'm paranoid / looking over my back (The sun)
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 (I feel the light betray me)
It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
