Freak
Sub-Urbane Lyrics

Welcome to our freak show, come meet my monsters
We are inviting you to see our collection of unusual things.

Oh, such a fine collection of stranger things
We think that our collection is amazing and full of unique items.

My patience running thinner on this melting clock
I am slowly losing patience, as time ticks away and things start to change.

Cerebrum jailed with thoughts most would consider rot
My mind is trapped with thoughts that many would consider to be unpleasant or disturbing.

To think you're any different from an animal
I don't think you are any better than an animal or creature.

A creature sick as you should be put down
I believe that creatures like you, who are sick or different, should be eliminated.

But I can't help myself
Even though I have these thoughts, I am unable to control my own impulses or desires.

Please, don't hide your imperfections
I want you to show me all of the things that you consider to be flaws or defects.

Nature took two tries to make the man in white
It took two attempts for nature to create the white race.

No, I don't mind, you are a beauty
I don't have a problem with you, in fact, I find you beautiful.

Not temptation, you're my creation
I am not tempted by you, I am the one who created you.

Freak o' Friday night, know I'm the main attraction
I am the center of attention on Friday night and I know that I am seen as a freak.

Basket acrobat, they wanna see some action
As an acrobat, people want to watch me perform dangerous and exciting feats.

Tinkering with my design, twist and tame my feral mind
Someone is manipulating and controlling me, trying to change who I am.

Play with me 'til you've found another toy
I am just a plaything to this person, and they will discard me when they find something else to play with.

Let me be your freak show, I could be your favorite monster
I want to be the main attraction, I want to be their favorite monster.

Rattle my whole cage, remind me why I can't be fostered
They are trying to remind me of all the reasons why I cannot be helped or saved.

Lock me up, don't let me out 'cause you know I can't help myself
I need someone to control me and keep me locked up because I am unable to control my own actions.

You're wasting, you're wasting all Of your time finding a cure when there's no disease
You are spending all your time and effort trying to fix something that is not broken.

You're wasting, you're wasting all Of your talent on an audience that sees a freak
You are not using your skills and abilities to their full potential, and your audience only sees you as a strange or unusual spectacle.

Can't help myself
I am unable to change or control my own situation, no matter how much I want to.
