Song lyrics
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

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 I know that when 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 looking 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 they close my eyes
A face 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 watching you too right inside your skin

It’s like I’m paranoid looking 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 looking 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

(the sun) It’s like I’m paranoid looking over my back 
It’s like a whirlwind inside of my head
It’s like I can’t stop what I’m hearing within
(I feel the light betray me) It’s like the face inside is right beneath the skin 

(the sun)It’s like I’m paranoid looking over my back 
It’s like a whirlwind inside of my head
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 
(the sun)It’s like I can’t stop what I’m hearing within 
It’s like the face inside is right beneath my skin

this song was one of my favourites when i first heared this album. its amazing how far theyve come since 1996 when they first came out. and im watching Chaz age and now they all have girlfriends or are married. Its like....wow, why couldnt I have been born in 1976 and had a chance with Chester?! GAH!

I like this song alot.It has very poetic words and has a real meaning to it.It doesn't just talk about how you broke up with someone and how your love was true and all and totally start ragging on them and calling them baby.So overdone.This song however, is different and I enjoy it.

I also like this song (and Linkin Park in general) lots. Even if it is not about stuff the band members have gone through then you can't hate the song if it helps other people with how they are feeling. Thats my own dumbass opinion anyways
