[Mike Shinoda]

Why's 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 that watches everytime I lie

A face that laughs everytime 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



[Chester]

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



[Rasco]

Hey yo

Here we go again with the pain I feel isn't real but in my mind

But I find myself in places with names but no faces

My memory races at speeds hundred degrees

My soul it bleeds devil must have planted the seed

Now it feels like my backs against the wall I'm taking the fall

Whenever I call nobody's responding at all

But I don't know who I can trust their screaming my name

I need somebody to help me out of the flames



[Planet Asia]

All I'm trying to do is just master me

All I wanna do is smoke a blaster beat

But something keeps talking to me consciously

Responsibly it keeps haunting me

From dusk till dawn everything has something for ya

That voice inside of your head got you projecting paranoia

Cold sweat shining on your face exposing your purpose

And if I ripped off the skin I'd probably find another verse

There's nothing worse the trying to pull yourself back up from the dead

So I advise you listen to that voice in the back of your head



[Chester]

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

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



[Mike Shinoda]

The face inside is right beneath your skin

The the face inside is right beneath your skin

The the the face inside is right beneath your skin

The-face-inside-is-right-beneath-your-skin!



[Chester]

The sun goes down

I feel the light betray me

The sun goes down



It's like I'm paranoid! (echoes)



I feel the light betray me

The sun



Can't stop what I'm hearing within

It's like the face inside it's right right beneath the skin



It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back

Like a whirl whirlwind inside of my head

It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within

It's like the face inside it's right right beneath the skin



It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back

Like a whirl whirlwind inside of my head

It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within

It's like the face inside it's right right beneath the skin
