Paranoid Lyrics

Sitting in a corner in a dark room, wondering about my doom

Ponder in what state they'll find you

Dead or alive? So what if you tried to

tell them that the pain is real? And, this is no state to be in, mind you

Tell me of the pain you feel. I hear and open up right beside you

Thought I got a good look inside you

Now I see that I looked right by you

More lost than a body in the bayou

No help even though I tried to

So goodbye to the world! I fly to

Another whole world- second star to

The right then straight on til light

Petrified of life, I cry to

Every God I see in sight. I pray for life

But death comes despite whatever I do

So why delay the inevitable when I feel the pull and decide to

Stop the strife and this madness? The walls close in, and my sadness

Becomes the voices I hear. I know to you I sound like it's as if I'm

Paranoid, but I ain't really got a friend

See, I'll never make that mistake again

Man I'm so paranoid, on my own and disengaged

I hear voices but I don't know what they say

Man I'm so Paranoid, as though there's nowhere to escape

Paranoid and scared to leave my space

Man I'm so paranoid, agoraphobic, and afraid

Paranoid of those I love and those I hate

Man I'm so Paranoid

Nighttime on a rooftop is no place for a bad thought

For a guy who'll try to see if he can fly take a few steps back and then jump off

But I doze off, wake up to a dozen empty artois

Clothes shoes and my shocks off

Can't open my eyes God, it's too bright. Have I died? Lord am I lost?

I look at life and what mine costs

Divide that by pain i've felt and pain caused

The loose ends will not (knot) tie off

And what's worse part of me will not die off

It's a pity and a shame that the dirt on my name

Regardless of all the tide that I top off

Will not wash off, so I place blame on anyone near like I got

Bad intentions for anything I perceive as a slight scoff

Even if it's a light cough, I don't care. You'll get hooked for a soft stare

Cause nightmares like mine, at first, seem divine. But, given the time to compare

You may find it's best to not dare tempt fate when, like me, you feel scared and paranoid
