Kristine Meredith Flaherty (born June 30, 1985), better known as K.Flay, is an American singer, musician, songwriter, and rapper. Her debut album Life as a Dog was released in 2014, peaking on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums chart at No. 2 and Billboard’s Rap Albums chart at No. 14. In 2016, she signed with Interscope Records as the first artist signed to Dan Reynolds’ Night Street Records imprint. At the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, she was nominated for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical (for Every Where Is Some Where) and Best Rock Song (for “Blood in the Cut”).

K.Flay was born Kristine Meredith Flaherty in Wilmette, Illinois, on June 30, 1985. She attended nearby New Trier High School. When she was seven, her parents divorced and her mother remarried soon after, bringing in a stepbrother and a stepsister. When she was 14 years old, her biological father—a guitarist who loved all musical genres—died of undisclosed causes related to his alcoholism; many of her songs include references to him. Flaherty’s stepfather helped raise her and later adopted her. She has described herself as a tomboy during childhood, preferring baggier clothing and rejecting “all things girly”. In 2003, she enrolled at Stanford University, pursuing a double major in psychology and sociology. According to Flaherty, many people she met during her time at Stanford influenced her musical style.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lying awake, naked in bed
Thoughts of your body running through my head
It’s hard to escape the wounds of the past
Every time I say something real, I wanna take it back

[Pre-Chorus]
Sensitive, I’m peeling back my skin

[Chorus]
You got me raw, raw
So emotional
Raw, raw
Oh, I feel exposed
Chainsaw
Buzzing at my throat
Pressure building up inside my chest
You pulled the stitches out again
I feel the feelings creeping in
You got me raw, raw
Raw, raw (Raw)

[Verse 2]
I came up from the depths of hell with a golf club in my hand
You disarmed me, no defense
My armor turned to sand
It’s hard to escape the wounds of the past
Every time I feel something real, I wanna take it back

[Pre-Chorus]
Sensitive, I’m peeling back my skin

[Chorus]
You got me raw, raw
So emotional
Raw, raw
Oh, I feel exposed
Chainsaw
Buzzing at my throat
Pressure building up inside my chest
You pulled the stitches out again
I feel the feelings creeping in
You got me raw, raw
Raw, raw
Chainsaw
Raw, raw

[Bridge]
Cold in your warm embrace
It’s salt in my open veins
Control I’m relinquishing
Sensitive, I’m peeling back my skin
Raw, raw
Raw, raw

[Chorus]
You got me raw, raw
So emotional
Raw, raw
Oh, I feel exposed
Chainsaw
Buzzing at my throat
Pressure building up inside my chest
You pulled the stitches out again
I feel the feelings creeping in
Raw
