about

This is a song about a woman who murdered her whole family... and pleads insanity. Yet this is all a part of her maniacal plan. Mixed and mastered by Grammy-winning producer Mitch Dane of Sputnik Sound.

lyrics

Staring at the ceiling with my arms by my side
Still as a statue with my eyes open wide
A subtle smile starts to creep on my face
While my thoughts rush, I can’t keep up the pace
I count my bullets while these seconds tick by
So, it will be, they’ll meet their fate tonight
Made mistakes I wish I could undo
But is it too late to see these actions through

Who’s to define what’s good and what’s bad
I’ll be set free if I tell em’ I’m mad

Silly old me, I guess I’m a psycho
I’ll take out the world and say it’s delightful
I had no choice
So I can’t take the blame
I’ll say that I don’t know it’s wrong
Or even know what’s going on
With a wink and a nod
I know how to play their games
If they tell me I’m guilty
I’ll tell them I’m insane

If I look in the mirror, can I choose what is there?
Or will I just meet my despicable glare?
I’ll tell you one thing that you could call profane
You can’t find joy without some pain

Cause they know what’s good and what’s bad
I’m the only one sane while the rest are all mad

Silly old me, I guess I’m a psycho
I’ll take out the world and say it’s delightful
I had no choice
So I can’t take the blame
I’ll say that I don’t know it’s wrong
Or even know what’s going on
With a wink and a nod
I know how to play their games
If they tell me I’m guilty
I’ll tell them I’m insane

I’ll grab my gun and take it to court
Swing it around as they run to the door
I’m not here to mess around
Look at me, I’ve finally unwound

Silly old me, I guess I’m a psycho
I’ll take out the world and say it’s delightful
I had no choice
So I can’t take the blame
I’ll say that I don’t know it’s wrong
Or even know what’s going on
With a wink and a nod
I know how to play their games
If they tell me I’m guilty
I’ll tell them I’m insane
