 LYRICS
**********
"I need to be afraid",
said the kind weak man, as he lay cuddled up in his bed
with those whispers around his head.
Yeah, he'd come to nothing in a way.
In a way that left him
with nothing to say but O.K.
Yeah, his eyes only worked one way

Chorus:
There's no such thing as paranoia;
It's always twice as bad as you fear.
And the thing that destroys you
is that you had the answers right here.
There's no such thing as paranoia;
it's always twice as bad as you fear. (I told you, I told you.)
I'd hate to say I told you so.
Hate to say I told you so.

"Old scars, but the cuts were new",
said the girl who loved many, but trusted a few; yeah, it's true.
'coz she feared anyone new.
She lend out her feelings of pure affection.
He kept the collection and the missing piece of her heart.
Yeah, her eyes only looked that far.

Chorus

There's murder going on inside.
Yeah, 'coz you only see so much through the human eye.

Chorus
