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 



Chorus 



The face inside is right beneath your skin (3x) 



The sun goes down 

I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end) 



Chorus (Repeat until end)
