Why does it feel like night today?
Something in the air'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 watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(It watches everything)
So I know now 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
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
(It 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
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 your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your 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

Why i choose that? Because it's like what i feel right now.
I try to talk, to let it out, but i know i can't do that.
I know i'm insecure, very insecure.
Everytime things not happening like what i planned, i tend to run and go to a place where everyone agreed even though it's opposite of what I want.
I supposed to take everything easy now. That life is not serious. That everything that i do is not supposed to be that serious. But why am i always ended up being so serious?
Maybe i'm just really a boring person.
Maybe i'm just a really nonsense human being.
And it's sickening me.
Really sickening.
It makes me wants to quit. No matter how much people said how precious i am, how good my work is, everytime this hit me, it makes me tired and making me cried like a fool.
And when this happened, everyone will think that this is just a joke. And i have to pretend that this is just a joke, i have to hide my tears.
Maybe i should stop loving you like the way i am now.
Maybe i couldn't be a good person for you.
Maybe i can even forget you as fast as i fall for you...
Maybe i should stop thinking about your love life..
Maybe i should stop writing.
So i can free from all this feeling, the feeling of afraid that no one will appreciate me, the feeling of hate seeing you with someone else.
Maybe it will stop my tears......
I love you, and i don't even know how much i have loved you.. that it hurts me to think i should quit loving you..
But you bring tears to my eyes for these past few days, you make me look like a fool...
You make me feel stupid that i could cry for you even though you won't ever notice me...
I should just let it go.. but your face keep showing up everywhere..
What should i do to forget you?
What should i do to be able to think like a normal person?
I even begin to doubt my works...
Should i stop?
Should i continue?
"I tried so hard and get so far
But in the end it doesn't even matter"

To leave or to stay?
Being in love is not as easy as it seems.
It feels so good at first, but once you face the truth, your world seems like closing in.
Being different is okay, but actually we all know that in this world, being different is not okay.
You have to live by others standard. You have to follow what everyone else's likes.
You don't have a chance to stand up, you can't speak up.
No one will heard you.
Everyone told you to speak up... but no one could ever heard your voice.
You're a voiceless person who wants to try making a world that fits you.
But you realized, you could not fit anywhere. You're not belong there.
So.....
Which one you will choose, to leave and going back to your peaceful world or to stay and getting yourself hurt over and over again?
Which one you will choose, to keep your sanity or to slowly getting insane by your love?
Which one will you choose: surrounded by the fake happiness or live alone with real happiness?
Staying in the same place or moving to a more comfortable place?
Which one?
