Why can’t you look at me as normal? Why do you see me a freak? Why don’t you think that my heart can’t break? Why can’t you understand that I own my own pain? That I drive myself insane trying to become something new. But when I say that I hurt, its, “who knew?” So put me in a cage, Condemn me for wishing for normality That wish led to my fatality. So I am here With the ones they call odd The ones you laugh at The ones you question Because if I can’t be normal, than no one can Spend my life wishing to be larger than life Wishing that people would see me, and not for my appearance. Because as this is written, I am in pain At this time I have no hope. So go and tell me “No need to mope” But hell, not even the pope Could pray the things I need prayer about. That’s why I fell so far behind Because I thought there was another path to find And music was the only way I felt right The notes where my eyes to see the light. But you still laugh at me Because my music is not sung at church Because I scream I am labeled a freak. But if I don’t have talent Why am I still writing on? Because one day You will remember the remraf name When I claim my fame, You will burn in the flame of my darkness Of my shadow So welcome to the carnival, Where the lowest of the low find the highest of the high Because today Is the day We rise, Every “freak” in the world Rise. Because a freak is the new normal And if you don’t agree, Than you can stand before me And tell me all my faults, Tell me my insecurities. And when you’re all said and done It’ll be my turn to pay my respects Because when you looked down at us You forgot that even you had overseers. Because what you do What you say Is downright *****. I am angry at your actions Treating me as a carney boy I am no freak I am no freak I am no freak Leave me be! Oh! Leave this alone Let me live my life So what if you don’t like my music So what that you don’t like my style So what that you are to ***** to make your own So what? So what?
