Yo, shadows movin' funny, ain't no breeze around,
Hearin' whispers in the silence, ain't a single sound.
Phone buzzes in my pocket, number I don't know,
Thinkin' it's the feds, man, watchin' how I go.
Every car that slows down, starin' at my door,
Got me peeking through the curtains, hidin' on the floor.
Seein' faces in the crowd, thinkin' they all stare,
Got a knot up in my stomach, breathin' heavy air.
(Chorus)
Paranoia creepin', crawlin' under my skin,
Every friendly gesture feels like a wicked grin.
Trust is a broken mirror, shattered on the ground,
Think the whole damn world is tryin' to hunt me down.
Talkin' to my homies, feelin' like they judge,
Readin' hidden meanings in every little nudge.
Postin' on the timeline, wonderin' who's lurkin',
Every notification got my damn nerves workin'.
Think the mailman's plantin' somethin' in my box,
Think the neighbors got antennas, listenin' to my talks.
Every cough, every silence, every sideways glance,
Got me buildin' up defenses, takin' a hard stance.
(Chorus)
Paranoia creepin', crawlin' under my skin,
Every friendly gesture feels like a wicked grin.
Trust is a broken mirror, shattered on the ground,
Think the whole damn world is tryin' to hunt me down.
(Bridge)
Used to sleep soundly, now I'm wakin' in a sweat,
Thinkin' they're outside, ain't finished with me yet.
Gotta watch my back, gotta keep my eyes peeled wide,
In this twisted reality, nowhere left to hide.
(Chorus)
Paranoia creepin', crawlin' under my skin,
Every friendly gesture feels like a wicked grin.
Trust is a broken mirror, shattered on the ground,
Think the whole damn world is tryin' to hunt me down.
(Outro)
Yeah, the walls are closin' in, feelin' the squeeze,
Is it all in my head? Or is it the unease?
Don't know who to believe, don't know what is true,
Just this constant feelin' that they're comin' for you... (fade out with a nervous cough).
