Lyrics

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda] 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 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 [Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington] 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 [Verse 2: Mike Shinoda] 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 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 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 watchin' you too Right inside your skin [Chorus: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington] 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 the 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 [Interlude: Mike Shinoda] The face inside is right beneath your skin The face inside is right beneath your skin The face inside is right beneath your skin [Bridge: Chester Bennington] The sun goes down I feel the light betray me The sun goes down I feel the light betray me [Outro: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington] It's like I'm paranoid, lookin' over my back (The sun) It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearin' within It's like the face inside is right beneath the skin (I feel the light betray me) It's like I'm paranoid, lookin' over my back (The sun) It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within (I feel the light betray me) It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin (The sun)
