Linkin Park
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 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
