Paper Cut Lyrics

Paper Cut 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 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

(It watches everything)

So I know that when it's time to sink or swim

That the face inside is hearin' me

Right inside 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 laughs at the fact of the matter that

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

(It 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
