Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here´s not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranioa´s all I got left
I don´t know what stressed me first
or how thew 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

Chorus:
It´s like I´m / paranoid lookin´ over my back
It´s like a / whirlwind inside of my head
It´s like a / 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

Chorus 2x

The face inside is right beneath your skin (4x)

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me (2x)

Chorus 2x
