The Only Time
You paint the signs
I walk the wire
You shout the lines
There was a time when my mind
was made up by you.
Is this a deja vu or am I
just missing you.
I've been here before and lived
to the thrill of it all.
I might be in the dark
but I'm watching you.
You chase the fire,
but you can't take the heat.
You slay the lion,
but you won't taste the meat
Your look was all it took
to get me hooked on you
My eyes were closed
but now I'm watching you
Chorus
There was a time when my lines
were made up by you.
Is this a
One Step Closer
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 hearing me
Right underneath my 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
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 I 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
Chorus
The face inside is right beneath your skin (3x)
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end)
Chorus (Repeat until end)
