[Verse 1] I scroll until my eyes don’t blink The edges burn, the headlines stink They say it’s fine, they say “don’t fight” But freedoms fade in subtle light [Pre-Chorus] Is it danger or design? Are they here or just in my mind? [Chorus] Am I paranoid? Am I paranoid? Am I paranoid — or right this time? [Verse 2] They wave a flag, they twist the creed They feed us fear, they plant the seed I bite my tongue, I hide my doubt But part of me just wants to shout [Pre-Chorus] Is it real or am I blind? Are they scheming all the time? [Chorus] Am I paranoid? Am I paranoid? Am I paranoid — or right this time? [Bridge] Books are banned and truth’s on trial Rights erased with practiced smiles Votes are crushed in holy names And power plays their endless games History bends, they shift the frame But tyranny still spells the same [Chorus – build / repeat] Am I paranoid? Am I paranoid? Am I paranoid — or right this time? Am I paranoid? Am I paranoid? Am I paranoid — or losing my mind?
