"Freakshow" lyrics

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
