Freak Show

:Ladies and gentlemen Prepare to be amazed What I am about to show you Is like nothing you have ever seen Today you will witness Something beyond all imagining I must warn you It will change the way you think About our “normal world” You never know the secrets hiding in the shadows unseen I hope you enjoy this show… I know I will: I waited behind the curtains A usual day Routine My master promised a huge audience I know he won’t disappoint This is what I am A freak. I don’t belong anywhere except here Chased from town to town I was pushed away from everyone I loved. They said I was a freak Unwanted They said I would cause too much trouble Hazardous To risky to keep me alive So I had to escape Hide away Where no one would find me No one would get hurt But little did I know… I would find you The second I meet you I fell in love. You took my hand And led me away from this life But magnetically I was sucked back in To this freak show Where I belong. But even with the danger and risk You still stay I need you And for some unknown and crazy reason You need me too This love is destined for disaster But it’s too late to turn back now I just need to be more careful. I hear my master My signal to come out is given I walk out head down I do not want to see their faces The spot light shines I look up on them now The crowd goes silent They go stiff Life blows out the room like a swift breeze The sound of laughter comes from my master The ring leader He is pleased by my performance. I feel a jerk on my shoulder I flash around Only to look upon the face of my love You too go silent Fall to the ground Everything that ever mattered Everything I ever loved Blew out of the room with the rest of the souls. I am a freak I turn to face the now dead crowd There is no applause I take my bow.
