Freak Show

FREAK SHOW

I’m tired of being part of this freak show

This Rat Race that we all know

Thinking we know what is and ain’t real

And Guiding our lives by what we feel

Being Sucked In and Sucked Dry all at the same time

Moving to the rhythm of a fake rhyme

Ending up places that I never thought

I’d go

Cause it’s a Freak Show, a Freak Show

 We’re all Walking and Gawking through our days

Wandering as if we’re in some kind of maze

It’s skin and sin, trying to numb ourselves again

Trying to ignore this Hog Pen we’re in

But our pain keeps coming back with every panic attack

Piling up on our plate like a giant pancake stack

But it’s all getting way too heavy, you know

Cause it’s a Freak Show, a Freak Show

I’m really tired of buying into the lies of my self talk

Climbing up the path of Jacks’ old Bean Stalk

Letting this old circus treat me like a Head Line

I hear the whispers coming from behind the shine

And I feel like a freak but I want out,

you see

How about it? How many of you are

with me?

Let’s shut the power off to this nasty flow

Cause it’s a Freak Show, a Freak Show.

    I shut if off a long while back.... we don't have to live like that.... but it is not for the faint of heart because it means you walk alone a good part of the time.
