PAPERCUT

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 if 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 here in me

right beneath my skin

chorus:

it's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back

it's a whirlwind inside or 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 cant 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 face inside is watching you

too right inside your skin

[chorus]x2

there's a face inside that's right beneath the skin (x3)

the sun goes down

i feel light betray me (x2)

[chorus]x2
