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

Chorus:
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 closer 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

[Chorus]
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.

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...
