Oh could it really be that I am to pretend
That the sky is a brilliant blue?
When I see a fog linger over you
Am I to exclude this hideous truth?
That we're all slowly dying
Drinking from the fountain of youth

My hands are trembling
And my nerves have lost all of their feeling, yeah

I am paranoid
I'm scared of you and I always will be
There's no stopping this, there's no stopping this
I am paranoid
I'm scared of you and I always will be
There's no hiding this, there's no hiding this

Oh, high up in the trees,
Do the birds sing of peace?
While bullets rip the sky for wars with idiots and guns
Am I to adhere for the fears we hold so dear?
It aches within our hearts
As we stuff our shopping carts

My knees are caving in
From the weight of our insanity and sin, yeah

I am paranoid
I'm scared of you and I always will be
There's no stopping this, there's no stopping this
I am paranoid
I'm scared of you and I always will be
There's no hiding this, there's no hiding this

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh

We see the world in tunnel vision
Yeah, it's true I wanna
Close my eyes and dream of a place without you
Seems like everybody's losing their minds
Am I losing mine?

I am paranoid
I'm scared of you and I always will be
There's no stopping this, there's no stopping this
I am paranoid
I'm scared of them and I always will be
There's no hiding this, there's no hiding this
Oh...
