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
