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 everytime they lie

A face that laughs everytime 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
