Papercut

by Linkin Park



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)
