[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]
Yeah, bounce, bounce
Yo, why does it feel like night today? (Why?)
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today? (Why?)
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first (Know)
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like (I know)
To have a voice in the back of my head

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]
It's like a face that I 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 here in me
Right underneath my skin

[Chorus: Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
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 hearin' within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & 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
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

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington]
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 watchin' you too
Right inside your skin

[Chorus: Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]
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 hearin' 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 hearin' within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington]
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, go
I feel the light betray me

[Outro: Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
(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 hearin' 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 hearin' within
(I) It's like I can't stop what I'm hearin' within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearin' within
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearin' within
It's like the face inside is (What) right beneath my skin
