Psycho In My Head Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe I'm just paranoid
Or maybe I'm just livin' a lie
Can't stop this screamin' voice
Or maybe I'm just sick inside

[Pre-Chorus]
This is the face
I hate the other side of me
Out of his cage
He breaks to take the life from me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
I'm not crazy

[Chorus]
There's a psycho in my head
I'm closer to the edge
Makin' me feel like I'm livin' in misery, misery
Insane
These voices in my brain
Startin' to feel like it's gonna be the death of me, death of me

[Post-Chorus]
There's a psycho in my, there's a psycho in my head

[Verse 2]
Livin' in hysteria
Nothin' makes much sense tonight
Maybe I'm too scared to trust
To stop the chaos in my mind
[Pre-Chorus]
This is the face
I hate the other side of me
Help me believe
I need to see the light in me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
I'm not crazy

[Chorus]
There's a psycho in my head
I'm closer to the edge
Makin' me feel like I'm livin' in misery, misery
Insane
These voices in my brain
Startin' to feel like it's gonna be the death of me, death of me

[Post-Chorus]
There's a psycho in my, there's a psycho in my—

[Verse 1]
Maybe I'm just paranoid
Or maybe I'm just livin' a lie
Can't stop this screamin' voice
Or maybe I'm just sick inside

[Bridge]
Yeah
I'm not crazy, I'm not crazy
But I might be
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a psycho in my head
I'm closer to the edge
Makin' me feel like I'm livin' in misery, misery
Insane
These voices in my brain
Startin' to feel like it's gonna be the death of me, death of me

[Outro]
There's a psycho in my head
There's a psycho in my head
(Livin' in misery, misery, insane)
There's a psycho in my head
(Gonna be the death of me, death of me)
There's a psycho in my, there's a psycho in my head

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

I think this song is similar to Circus for a Psycho. Where you are fighting your demons in your head and they are making you feel misery on the inside. And you’re telling God to help you believe. John confess that this is probably a song that shouldn’t be putting repeat endlessly for younger audiences. This song is pretty much a strong lyrical on feelings.
