Psycho

lyrics: Intro (music box + distant footsteps) (soft laughter fades in) Hehehe… Don’t turn around. Verse 1 (playful, sing-song delivery) Smile stitched wide, teeth too clean You don’t know what that look means Hands behind my back real polite Guess what I’m holding real tight? Tap-tap echoes down the hall Your shadow twitches on the wall I walk slow just to be kind I like watching panic take its time Pre-Chorus (whispered, circling effect) I won’t chase That’s no fun Fear tastes better When you run Chorus (creepy, bouncy, half-sung) Psycho, psycho — grin too wide Laughing while you try to hide Knock-knock, heartbeat go fast Footsteps getting closer fast Psycho, psycho — don’t you freeze I love it when you beg and plead Smile sharp, eyes go hollow You won’t sleep again tomorrow Verse 2 (more distorted, teasing tone) Knife don’t bite unless I say I just like the way you pray Every breath you hold too long Turns my laughter into song Red light flicker, lights go dead Funny thoughts inside my head You think monsters look insane But I look just like your friend Pre-Chorus 2 (mocking, whispered) Count your steps Miss one beat I’m not loud I’m underneath Chorus (heavier beat, layered laughter) Psycho, psycho — hear that sound That’s your courage breaking down Tick-tock, don’t lose track Every step I’m at your back Psycho, psycho — say my name Fear makes every face the same I don’t need to raise my voice I just love the noise you make Bridge (spoken, low and close) Why are you shaking? I haven’t done anything yet. Final Chorus (chaotic, playful menace) Psycho, psycho — round and round Hear my laugh bounce off the ground Run if you want, lock the door I’ve played this game a thousand times before Psycho, psycho — lights go low Follow where the giggles go When it’s quiet, that’s the trick That’s when I’m right next to you Outro (footsteps fade, last whispers) Smile… I’m still here.
