Welcome to the Freak Show
Welcome to the freak show
You're invited to join us
Just don't hide yourself
Or the audience will grow bored
You need to keep it interesting
Keep it exciting
Keep it new...
But keep your "ordinary" ways
Away from here
Keep talking
Keep laughing
Keep secrets
Keep quiet
They're laughing at you?
No no, they wouldn't dare
There too scared of the monster
That's lurking under their skin
They watch us "freaks"
Because we're "so different from them",
They laugh only at themselves
When they laugh at you
They see a reflection of what they want to be
Reflected upon your "outer-you",
Because they hide under "being normal"
What they wish to be, can't become true.
