Theres nothing left to see now the circus has finally closed 
I sigh as the freakshow begins I stand down
 lost 
alone
 my vision clouds 
but I see everything 
as the tent fills with shadows 
I watch their faces cruel laughter
 lighting up their eyes I run 
frantic 
as the empty seats are filled by all the other outcasts desperate to laugh at someone else for a change at least something good 
would have come out 
of my useless life
 all Ive ever done is hurt people then again 
theres a first time 
for everything...
 The shadows they stare 
as if they havent heard 
of things like me before abominations 
monsters
 I cant tell 
if they really see me 
they would be the first... I watch 
as they take their seats the ringmaster pushes me 
one step too far
 and I fall 
into the empty pit that surrounds me
 inside and outside 
finally the same the shadows laugh as I drown 
in the waters of my soul... I feel the darkness 
closing in 
I welcome it 
it will all be over soon anyway
 why fight
 when 
there is nothing left
 to fight for after all 
Im not worth the trouble no one
 faught for me...

Freakshow
Theres nothing left to see now the circus has finally closed 
I sigh as the freakshow begins I stand down
 lost 
alone
 my vision clouds 
but I see everything 
as the tent fills with shadows 
I watch their faces cruel laughter
 lighting up their eyes I run 
frantic 
as the empty seats are filled by all the other outcasts desperate to laugh at someone else for a change at least something good 
would have come out 
of my useless life
 all Ive ever done is hurt people then again 
theres a first time 
for everything...
 The shadows they stare 
as if they havent heard 
of things like me before abominations 
monsters
 I cant tell 
if they really see me 
they would be the first... I watch 
as they take their seats the ringmaster pushes me 
one step too far
 and I fall 
into the empty pit that surrounds me
 inside and outside 
finally the same the shadows laugh as I drown 
in the waters of my soul... I feel the darkness 
closing in 
I welcome it 
it will all be over soon anyway
 why fight
 when 
there is nothing left
 to fight for after all 
Im not worth the trouble no one
