(Uh yeah)
Why's 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 that I watch 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 w-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
Hey yo
Here we go again with the pain I feel isn't real but in my mind
But I find myself in places with names but not faces
My memory races at speeds hundred degrees
My soul it bleeds devil must have planted the seed
Now it feels like my backs against the wall, I'm taking the fall
Whenever I call nobody's responding at all
But I don't know who I can trust their screaming my name
I need somebody to help me out of the flames
All I'm trying to do is just master me
All I want to do is smoke a blaster beat
But something keeps talking to me consciously
Responsibly it keeps haunting me
From dusk till dawn everything has something for ya
That voice inside of your head got you projecting paranoia
Cold sweat shining on your face exposing your purpose
And if I ripped off the skin I'd probably find another verse
There's nothing worse the trying to pull yourself up back from the dead
So I advise you listen to that voice in the back of your head
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-the face inside is right beneath your skin)
(The-the-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
It's like I'm paranoid
I feel the light betray me
The sun
Can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside it's right right beneath the skin
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back
Like a whirl-whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside it's right right beneath the skin
It's like I'm paranoid looking over my back
Like a whirl-whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside it's right right beneath my skin
Why's 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 that I watch 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 w-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

Saying that, I think this song is about schizophrenia. Maybe it's Chester's experience with it and the paranoia, anxiety, and pain that he experienced because of it. The song should have been titled "voices inside of my head", because it's also about voices. The voice is evil, it is haunting him and making him paranoid.
Cold sweat shining on your face,
Exposing your purpose and if I,
Ripped of your skin I'd probably find another,
Person, there's nothing worse than trying to,
Bring yourself up back from the dead,
So I advise you: Listen to that voice,
In the back of your head
the "advise" that Chester gives here is a threat, because he knows that if you try to resist that voice you'll lose your mind, or die.
peace
