WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE TONIGHT?
SOMETHING IN HERE’S NOT RIGHT TODAY
WHAY AM I SO UPTIGHT TODAY?
PARANOIA’S ALL I GOT LEFT
I DIDN’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 AM 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 EVER 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
