(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 I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
Face that watches everytime I lie
Face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
The face inside is here in me right beneath my skin
(Chorus Chester,Mike and Serj)
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 a face inside is right beneath my skin
(Serj Tankian)
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes in me
You got a face the inside too
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what sets me off
but I know what I can stand
Everybody has infact 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 everytime they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And it watches everything)
So it's no doubt when it's time to sink or swim
The face inside is watching you too right inside your skin
(Chorus Chester,Mike and Serj)
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 a face inside is right beneath my skin
