I've been talking to myself
My friends say they don't notice
But they do 'cause I can tell
I wake up mad every morning
And I go to bed mad at night
My mind ain't functioning poorly
But it sure ain't feeling right
No it sure ain't feeling right
I told him I'd been feeling blue
He shook his head and simply said
Ain't nothing he could do
Well my head aches with apprehension
Till I can't take any more pain
If I don't get some attention soon
Yes I think I'll go insane
I feel you creeping through my soul, yeah
I feel you taking complete control, oh
You got me running all the time, paranoia
Oh what a pitiful state of mind
Don't know how long I've been this way
It seems the whole world's after me
When it's ever been this bad
But lately I've felt feelings
Delusions of persecution haunt me
And there's always someone behind me
When I check my rear-view mirror
I better check my rear-view mirror
I feel you creeping through my soul, yeah
I feel you taking complete control, oh
You got me running all the time, paranoia
Oh what a pitiful state of mind
