Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 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 underneath my skin
[Verse 2]
It's like I'm paranoid, looking 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
[Verse 3]
Here we go again with the pain I feel
Is it real or in my mind?
When I find myself in places with names
But not faces
My memory races at speeds
Hundred degrees, my soul will bleed
Devil must've planted the seed
Now it feels like my back's against the wall, I'm taking the fall
Whenever I call, nobody's respondin' at all
But I don't know who I can trust, they screamin' my name
I need somebody to help me out of the flame
[Verse 4]
All I'm tryna do is just master me
All I wanna do is smoke and blast a beat
But somethin' keeps talkin' to me consciously
Responsibly it keeps haunting me
From dusk till dawn, every day has somethin' for ya
That voice inside of your head got you projecting paranoia
Cold sweat shining on your face, exposin' your purpose
And if I ripped off your skin I'd probably find another person
It's nothin' worse than tryna bring your self up back from the dead
So I advise you listen to that voice in the back of your head
[Verse 5]
It's like I'm paranoid, looking 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
[Verse 6]
It's like I'm paranoid, looking 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
[Verse 7]
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
[Verse 8]
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
It's like I'm paranoid
I feel the light betray me
The sun
[Verse 9]
I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath the skin
[Verse 10]
It's like I'm paranoid, looking 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
[Verse 11]
It's like I'm paranoid, looking 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
