[Verse 1]
Sorry, I don't mean to freak you out
But I hear someone inside my house
Heart racing, keeping me awake
[Pre-Chorus]
Paranoia slipping in
Checking all the locks again
It's so loud inside my head
[Chorus]
Got me feeling paralyzed
I can't sleep without the lights
A chill is running down my spine
Staring out the window
A knife under my pillow
But it's all inside my mind
Oh, I'm holding on for dear life
Why's this happen to me all the time?
Got me staring out the window
A knife under my pillow
But it's all inside my mind
[Verse 2]
I know I've made this call before
Not crying wolf, I'm pretty sure
There's just some fears you can't erase
[Pre-Chorus]
Paranoia slipping in
Checking all the locks again
It's so loud inside my head
[Chorus]
Got me feeling paralyzed
I can't sleep without the lights
A chill is running down my spine
Staring out the window
A knife under my pillow
But it's all inside my mind
Oh, I'm holding on for dear life
Why's this happen to me all the time?
Got me staring out the window
A knife under my pillow
But it's all inside my mind
[Outro]
(But it's all inside my—)
But it's all inside my mind
Knife Under My Pillow was written by Maggie Lindemann & Alex Lahey & Josh Murty.
Knife Under My Pillow was produced by Josh Murty.
Maggie Lindemann released Knife Under My Pillow on Fri Aug 28 2020.
I lived in this house for a few years, and I was always paranoid that there was someone in the house with me […] It was sort of driving me insane, to the point that I started keeping a knife under my pillow at night, so this song is very literal.
