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 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
