Papercut Lyrics

Papercut lyrics

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 dont know what stressed me out 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 that 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 beneath my skin

 

 (chorus)

 It's like i'm/paranoid lookin over my back

 it's likea/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 the 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 thier eyes

 a face that 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 the skin   X3

 

 The sun goes down

 I feel the light betray me  X3

 

 (chorus) X2
