Why does it feel like night today?
somethng 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 out first
or how the pressure was fed
but i know just how it feels like
to have a voice in the back of my head
it's like a face that you 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 iknow that when it's time to sink or swim
that the face inside is hearingme
right underneath 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
i know i've got a face in me
points out all the 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 that watches everytime i lie
a face that laughs everytime i 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
The sun goes down
i feel the light betray me
