Paranoid
Gotta keep the lights on
'Cause it's too dark at night
I've gotta keep the lights on
'Cause if I don't I think I'll die
Who are you?
Who are you?
I think you're tryna fake me out
I think you're tryna stare me down, down, down (Down)
Look, if I play and I lose
I think you'll try to take me out
'Cause it's fun for you to watch me drown (Ah)
(So slow)
I never liked to breathe just to breathe just to be like I'm
I'm something more than just a
I want to need something to need or someone to need me like
I'm playing it safe and I'm still terrified
I'm counting my blades
Counting the ways this could all end tonight
Carving my gravestone
I'm so afraid though
I'm just too tired to fight (Tired to flight)
I'm seeing in red
I'll hide in my bed and cover myself 'til it's over
But I see your head peak through my blanket
You're getting closer
It's honestly harder to blink when I need them to bleed, yeah
These eyes need to close and
My ceilings are spiraling
Dizzy or dying - not sure, but I'm not too hopeful
The air is constricting
Images depicting the end, inflicting disorder
Too tired to think, too wired to blink
Sleep resists paranoia so I
I've gotta keep the lights on
'Cause it's too dark at night
Gotta keep the lights on
'Cause if I don't I think I'll die
Look me in the eyes and tell me you're not real
I'm paranoid
(It's time)
Who are you?
What are you?
I'm feeling you in my chest
My breath you can't resist
(Hold on)
Once I'm through and I lose you
Will my pain still amuse you?
Will my thoughts still confuse you?
They confuse me too
It's too quiet to breathe
I'm suffocating
Allow me to leave already
We've played this before
Aren't you bored?
I've tried to ignore you
(I've got nothing more)
The floor collapsing
Fear relapsing
I'm attacking this head on
Or board up my mind like I'm headstrong
Or hide in denial - now you're dead wrong
I'm fine over here
My smile's sincere
I'm drifting, now I'm shifting gears
Don't bother to follow me into the bottom so cautiously
Honestly haunting me starting feeling like comedy
Causing this problem myself
Should probably look somewhere else for some help, but now you see
I'm gaining momentum, pedal to the metal
I'm blocking you out with the melody
Settling down, remembering how my dreams always feel safe and sound
Like it loud, manifested this crowd
'Cause your power is lost when surrounded by thousands of hounds so I
I've gotta keep the lights on
'Cause it's too dark at night
Gotta keep the lights on
'Cause if I don't I think I'll die
Look me in the eyes and tell me you're not real
I'm paranoid
I'm okay, I'm okay
In time you'll go away
I'm okay, I'm okay
(I just didn't want to play this game today)
I'm okay, I'm okay
In time you'll start to fade
I'm okay, I'm okay
But now please go away
I've gotta keep the lights on
'Cause it's too dark at night
Gotta keep the lights on
'Cause if I don't I think I'll die
Look me in the eyes and tell me you're not real
I'm paranoid
'Cause it's too dark at night
I've gotta keep the lights on
'Cause if I don't I think I'll die
Who are you?
Who are you?
