There’s a contagion in the air,
And we’re all breathin’ it in,
In love and war, all is fair,
Until we find ourselves the victim.
Binding us, binding us,
Until we can’t see straight.
Oh, oh, It’s like a ticking bomb,
Oh, oh, Just wait, it won’t be long,
Oh, oh, Paranoia,
Oh, oh Paranoia.
Oh, oh, It’s like an acid rain,
Oh, oh, Burning in its wake,
Oh, oh, Paranoia,
Oh, oh, Paranoia.
There’s disorder among the ranks,
And we’re swallowing the lies,
So we call to roll out the tanks,
And plow through the unformed lines.
Strangling us, Strangling us,
Until we can’t think straight.
[CHORUS]
Those aren’t shadows anymore, They’re monsters,
And that noise behind your door, Is the enemy.
They used to be harmless, but you never know,
It’s time for precaution, take safety for your own.
[CHORUS]
