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 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 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 



The sun goes down 

I feel the light betray me
