Circles

Excuse me, I lost myself, well this isn't me
Well it is and it isn't to certain degrees
An extreme lack of confidence, it has overcome me
I guess you could say it's part of me

These things run in circles
Been here before
It takes understanding
To pass through these closed doors
Paranoia, (paranoia!) paranoia, (paranoia!)
Hide the madness that's inside, paranoia through bloodshot eyes
Paranoia, (paranoia!) paranoia, (paranoia!)
Hide the madness that's inside, paranoia through bloodshot eyes

They say the mystics and the schizophrenics swim in the same ocean
One is drowning, the other is swimming
Where does that leave the rest of us?
Bobbing along upon the surface?

These things run in circles
Been here before
It takes understanding
To pass through these closed doors
Paranoia, (paranoia!) paranoia, (paranoia!)
Hide the madness that's inside, paranoia through bloodshot eyes
Paranoia, (paranoia!) paranoia, (paranoia!)
Hide the madness that's inside, paranoia through bloodshot eyes

Step outside myself, stand back and observe
My emotions distort my vision, one day I will learn
