Lirik Lagu Papercut ~ Linkin Park

[Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington:]

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

Like a face that I hold inside

A face that awakes when I close my eyes

A face that 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

[Chester Bennington:]

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

[Mike Shinoda and Chester Bennington:]

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

(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

[Chester Bennington:]

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 the 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

[Mike Shinoda:]

The face inside is right beneath the skin [3x]

[Chester Bennington (Mike Shinoda):]

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 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 the skin)

I feel the light betray me

The sun

(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)

I feel the light betray me

(It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within)

The sun

(It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin)
