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 I close my 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 

    The face inside is right beneath your skin (3x) 

               The sun goes down 
        I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end) 

               Chorus (Repeat until end)

ONE STEP CLOSER:

               I cannot take this anymore 
               I'm saying everything I've said before 
               All these words they make no sense 
               I find bliss in ignorance 
               Less I hear the less you'll say 
               But you'll find that out anyway 
               Just like before... 

               Everything you say to me 
               Takes me one step closer to the edge 
               And I'm about to break 
               I need a little room to breathe 
               Cause I'm one step closer to the edge 
               And I'm about to break 

               I find the answers aren't so clear 
               Wish I could find a way to disappear 
               All these thoughts they make no sense 
               I find bliss in ignorance 
               Nothing seems to go away 
               Over and over again 

               shut up when I'm talking to you
