Look inside, what do you see? Are you surprised or pretending like me? 'Cause we are not people like people should be Yeah, you're just a freak like me In this circus of beauty and pain Where everyone watches and laughs at what they don't believe Are we insane, or is it forbidden To be comfortable living in skin that we thought we could claim? If life is one big freak show What makes you different than me The cirque The cirque of self expression Never an act Just trapped upon our stage With all their expectation Don't be afraid You're just a freak like me Romantic emptiness, food for the fake Don't be original, do what we say Medicate thoughts until we go away Because you're just a freak if you cannot be contained Carrying the weight of expectation Is causing us to lose all dedication Romantic emptiness, food for the fake Don't be original, do what we say Medicate thoughts until we go away You're just a freak if you cannot be contained The cirque of self expression Never an act Just trapped upon our stage With all their expectation Don't be afraid You're just a freak like me Life is just a freak show Life is a freak show In this circus of murder and shame Where everyone's waiting to kill what they don't want to see Are we insane, or is it a given To be comfortable tearing each other apart at the seams? If life is one big freak show What makes you different than me The cirque of self expression Never an act Just trapped upon our stage With all their expectation That we can never obey The cirque of self expression The show can never be contained This life has no expectation So don't be afraid to be a freak like me
