Linkin Park 01-Papercut Lyrics

Papercut

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in heres not right todaywhy am I so uptight today?
Paranoias all I got left
I dont 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
Its 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
[it watches everything]
So I know that when its time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me right underneath my skin
Its like Im paranoid lookin over my back
Its like a whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I cant stop what Im hearing within
Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know Ive got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
Youve got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoias probably worse
I dont know what set me off first but I know what I cant stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I cant 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 its 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
