[Verse 1]

Why does it fe

el like night 

today?

Something in here's not right today.

Why am I so up

tight today?

Paranoia's all

 I got left

I don't know w

hat stressed m

e first

Or how the pressure was fed

But I know jus

t what it feel

s like

To have a voic

e in the back 

of my head

       
Like a face th

at I hold insi

de

A face that awakes when I close my eyes
              
A face watches

 
 every time I 

lie
            
A face that la

ughs every tim

e I fall
             
(And watches e

#
verything)


So I know that

 when it's tim

e to sink or s

wim
         
That the face 

inside is hear

ing me

Right beneath 

my skin

[Chorus]
              
It's like I'm 


paranoid looki

n' over my bac

k
             
It's like a wh

          
irlwind inside

 of my head
            
It's like I ca


n't stop what 

I'm hearing wi

thin
              
It's like the 

             
face inside is

            
 right beneath

          
 my skin

[Verse 2]

I know I've go

t a face in me

Points out all my mistakes to me

You've got a f

ace on the ins

ide too and

Your paranoia'

s probably wor

se

I don't know w

hat 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 c

an but

          
Everybody has 

a face that th

ey hold inside

A face that awakes when I close my eyes
              
A face watches

 
 every time th

ey lie
            
A face that la

 
ughs every tim

e they fall
             
(And watches e

#
verything)


So you know th

at when it's t

ime to sink or

 swim
         
That the face 

inside is watc

hing you too

Right inside y

our skin

[Chorus]
              
It's like I'm

It's like I ca

The sun   goes
