Papercut - Linkin Park

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 watching 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 hearing 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 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 they close their 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 my skin


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

Man, I used to really over-listen to that song in year 12. Quite good, really, but not, I think, necessarily good for you per se.

Vivian said...

Yes, it's a really good song! There's other songs on that album that are less good for you than that one....=P

Alicia said...

Only during those years? *runs away*

Minerva said...

I need to hear it to know which song it is... it's only very recently that Trees has stuck her head out from under the rock. But she now listens to Radiohead ;)

Ang said...

Year 12 is the heartland of overlistening to angsty music.

Minerva said...

lol and I was listening to Enigma in years 9 and 10. "I love you... I'll kill you" yes lovely music. Now have moved onto triggering... music *coughcough*

Vivian said...

Anyone remember that band who did Christian focus week in Year 12? Apparently they're still alive and recording...

Pun: you are in danger of having your ovrshare licence revoked, that's what.

You Sandrine fan, you.

Minerva said...

I like Sandrine... her albums are good. I don't particularly think about the lyrics while I listen though. Good thing? Bad thing? *shrugs*
