## **Theme**

"This song is about what happens when people keep saying you’re something. It doesn’t matter what or who you are– sometimes the power of people’s words is enough to push you there ‘got it in my head; careful what you said’ sometimes that can be a good thing, sometimes it’s not… I guess I just want people to think about the power of what they say. And to realise that whatever they feel like inside. That’s okay.”

## **Lyrics**

**[Verse 1]**

You chain me up, still speculating

Never enough but soon, you'll see I'm unrestrainable

I'm uncontainable

Any moment, I'll have you begging

Don't turn your back

Oh, can't you see that I'm untamable?

I'm unmistakable

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I'm hearing it all, I hear it in my head

Whispering, they're whispering again

Hearing it all, they see me as a threat

Pushing me, keep pushing to the edge

**[Chorus]**

You keep calling me a psycho

Got it in my head, careful what you say

Think you might be right though

You made me a psycho, a psycho

You keep calling me a psycho

Thought that I was scared but I came prepared

Think you might be right though

You made me a psycho, a psycho

You made me a psycho, a psycho

You made me a psycho, a psycho

**[Verse 2]**

You won't stop me, don't bother trying

Never enough 'cause soon, you'll see I'm unrestrainable

I'm uncontainable

I always search for light in darkness

You'll never think I'm weak 'cause I'm untamable

I'm unmistakable

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I'm hearing it all, I hear it in my head

Whispering, they're whispering again

Hearing it all, they see me as a threat

Pushing me, keep pushing to the edge

**[Chorus]**

You keep calling me a psycho

Got it in my head, careful what you say

Think you might be right though

You made me a psycho, a psycho

You keep calling me a psycho

Thought that I was scared but I came prepared

Think you might be right though

You made me a psycho, a psycho

You made me a psycho, a psycho

You made me a psycho, a psycho

**[Pre-Chorus]**

I'm hearing it all, I hear it in my head

Whispering, they're whispering again

Hearing it all, they see me as a threat

Pushing me, keep pushing to the edge

**[Chorus]**

You keep calling me a psycho

Got it in my head, careful what you say

Think you might be right though

You made me a psycho, a psycho

You keep calling me a psycho

Thought that I was scared but I came prepared

Think you might be right though

You made me a psycho, a psycho
