Lyrics

Paranoia in Context

[Verse 1]

Looking in the mirror

To see if you had looked at me

Who looked at you

No one, specifically

The world only gets smaller

And then you become a stranger

A stranger to yourself

An unknown complainer

[Verse 2]

New York calls to me

All 8 million at once

An overdose of sorts

No eyes to feed or want

San Francisco exiled me

The fruit that ate the females

A flaming sword held aloft

To strike me when my pen fails

[Bridge]

The paranoia in context

I always stutter when I speak

No one hears or sees my

Body covered in

In bleach

(Looking in my mirror)

[Outro]

Looking in my mirror

Looking in

Looking in the

Looking in the mirror

Looking in the mirror

Looking in my mirror

Looking in my mirror

Looking in my mirror

Looking in my mirror

Looking
