This song echoes the generally dark sentiment of the album—Sara Quin wrote “Knife Going In” about a bad dream she had after the death of her grandmother. She dreamt that her twin sister Tegan had been stabbed, and that Sara crawled in bed with her grandmother for refuge.

[Verse 1]
If I don't recover
Sell this house and find something lost outside your window
Not forever
But on the night I die, I swear I'll sleep outside your window
[Hook]
I feel the knife going in
I'm feeling anxious
Not enough to kill me
I thought it'd happen fast
But I'm feeling it now and I feel anxious
Sleeping inches from me
I let it pass
[Verse 2]
Emy, should I stop?
Do you think I'll make it to the morning if it's written?
Stitch it up
The kind of song I know causes mother, sister, lover worry
[Hook]
I feel the knife going in
I'm feeling anxious
Not enough to kill me
I thought it'd happen fast
But I'm feeling it now
And I feel anxious
Sleeping inches from me
I let it pass
