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 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 the face inside is watching you too

Right inside your skin 

The sun goes down 

I feel the light betray me
