Papercut Songtext
von Confessions of a Traitor

Why does it feel like night today?
Somethin′ 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 that now it′s time to sink or swim
That the face inside is here in 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 I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall (and watches everything)
So you know when it′s time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watchin' you too right inside your 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
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

(The face inside is right beneath the skin)
(The face inside is right beneath the skin)
(The face inside is right beneath the skin)


The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me

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
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 I can't stop what I′m hearing within
It′s like I can't stop what I′m hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
