[Verse 1]

Cut away the cord

Pull away the curtain

I'm ready to show I knew

Simplify the source

Amplify the reasons

I'm ready to stage my truth

[Pre-Chorus]

And hide me somewhere underground

Fingerprints burned and blotted out

In time, I'll watch the world burn

They've alternative leanings when

They speak with secret meanings and

My secret's that I'm self assured

[Chorus]

This paranoia

This confidence

Megalomania

In vogue again

I'll self-destroy and know

You all will see

This paranoia

They're out for me

I'm paranoid

[Verse 2]

Follow what you like

Set the facts aside

And see just how far you go

Careful what you find

They don't need a reason

Just find that it's all control

[Pre-Chorus]

So hide me somewhere underground

Biases all assure it now

In time, I'll watch the world burn

They’ve alternative leanings when

I feel like I've been targeted

My secret's that I'm self confirmed

[Chorus]

This paranoia

This confidence

Megalomania

In vogue again

I'll self-destroy and know

You all will see

This paranoia

They're out for me

I'm paranoid

[Bridge]

Looking for the lesson in my little hat of tin

Speaking softly to the silence 'cause I know they're listening

They've got poison in the water

Now there's something in my blood

But I'm sure I've got solutions to the problems I thought up

And I'm the only one not crazy, I'm the only one who's sane

I'm the only one who sees things in their only true way

So I got it right, now I believe

I have come so far that I can't see

The sinking and the drowning in my own conspiracy

[Refrain]

I'm paranoid

Thinking paranoid, ooh-oh

[Chorus]

This paranoia

This confidence

Megalomania

In vogue again

I'll self-destroy and know

You all will see

This paranoia

They're out for me

I'm paranoid

They're out for me

I'm paranoid

[Outro]

One day you all will see

Why I'm paranoid

One day you all will see

Why I'm paranoid
