Papercut Lyrics

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

 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 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

 

 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 

 

 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

 

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

 

 The sun goes down

 I feel the light betray me

 The sun goes down

 I feel the light betray me

 

 The sun

 I feel the light betray me

 The sun

 I feel the light betray me

 

 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 I can't stop what I'm hearing within

 It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within

 It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
