Tantric is a post-grunge band from Louisville, Kentucky, that was formed by three former members of Days of the New, Jesse Vest, Todd Whitener, and Matt Taul, with the addition of Merge singer, Hugo Ferreira. They were signed to Maverick Records in 1999, and recorded their self-titled debut with producer, Tobey Wright in 2000. The record was released in February 2001, which debuted at #193 on the Billboard 200. The record eventually went platinum, largely on the strength of the single "Breakdown" and the band's extensive touring with the likes of Kid Rock and Creed. Follow-up singles "Astounded" and a remixed version of "Mourning" also fared well.

Paranoid Lyrics

Tantric

You all alone there in the dark 
Shadows sinking into you 
You're so afraid of everything 
Is there something left for you 

Why bleed for the wicked 
If the wicked don't bleed for me 
Got to stand up 
Psych myself up 
That's the way it's gonna be 

Why can't I move 
I'm tied up here 
He said I've seen this pain before 
Sometimes I want to disappear 
Got to tell ya I'm feeling paranoid 

Chorus: 
What you gonna do 
What you gonna be 
When they're coming after me 
I know that I'm feeling the lonely one 
Repeat 

Drinking away 
Smoking away 
Anything to stop the noise 
Inside your head 
Numbness instead 
Until your thinking finds a cure 

Why bleed for the wicked 
If the wicked don't bleed for me 
Got to stand up 
Psych myself up 
That's the way it's gonna be 

Why can't I move 
I'm tied up here 
He said I've seen this pain before 
Sometimes I want to disappear 
Got to tell ya I'm feeling paranoid 

Chorus Repeat x7
