Ice Nine Kills - Twisting The Knife Lyrics

Ice Nine Kills Lyrics

"Twisting The Knife"
(feat. Mckenna Grace)
(from "Scream 7" soundtrack)

(Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah)
(Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah)

This devastation
Follows me, follows me, constantly calling me
I can't escape it
Helplessly, helplessly hung up on history
Face to face with déjà vu
When the ghost in me is you

Can you honestly promise me
I won't be left here to die?
I'm screaming for my life because
Honestly, I'm not afraid 'til it's me twisting the knife
So, I'm screaming for my life again

(Ah-ah, ah, ah)

This force of nature
Follows me, follows me, constantly calling me
The voice grows stranger
Helplessly, helplessly hung up on history
Still my words are right on cue
Make a scene, I'll make one too

Can you honestly promise me
I won't be left here to die?
I'm screaming for my life because
Honestly, I'm not afraid 'til it's me twisting the knife
So, I'm screaming for my life
Barely breathing, violently shaking and bleeding
I buried the past for a reason
There's always more room in the grave, the grave, the grave

(Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah)

Can you honestly promise me
I won't be left here to die?
I'm screaming for my life because
Honestly, I'm not afraid 'til it's me twisting the knife
So, I'm screaming for my life
Barely breathing, violently shaking and bleeding
I buried the past for a reason
There's always more room in the grave, the grave, the grave

(Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah)
(Honestly, I'm not afraid 'til it's me twisting the knife)
(Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah)

Submit Corrections

"Twisting The Knife" is a collaboration between Ice Nine Kills and Mckenna Grace and a part of the soundtrack to horror film "Scream 7" where she plays a role. In the film, the song plays over its end credits. The song and its cinematic music video (starring Mckenna Grace and David Arquette) were published on the 19th of February, 2026.

Ice Nine Kills frontman Spencer Charnas said about this track, "'Twisting the Knife' is our tribute to Wes Craven and the 'Scream' franchise, which means so much to us. 'Scream' is baked into the DNA of who I am and of Ice Nine Kills—my love of horror, comedy, and the collision between the two. I was already obsessed with 'Halloween' and 'Friday the 13th', but 'Scream' was the first I saw in theaters."

Mckenna Grace said of this collaboration, "Making this song was such a special experience for me: I am such a big INK fan and it was such an amazing opportunity to be able to play with a different style of music. I am so inspired by Amy Lee's vocals and we all wanted to channel 'Scream' and Sydney's story as best as we could. Spencer and the guys were so much fun to collaborate with and I'm so thankful to Kevin Williamson."
