Paper Cut Lyrics

Paper Cut

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
