Below, you will find the lyrics for Papercut by Linkin Park.
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
Chorus 1
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
Chorus 1
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
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
Verse 2
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all the 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
Chorus 2
But everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when they close their eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
Chorus 2
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching 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 my skin
The face inside is right beneath my skin
The face inside is right beneath my skin
I feel the light betray me
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me
Chorus 3
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
