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