Lyrics

the freak show

If I was to die tomorrow
Would you come to my freak show tonight?

4, 3, 2, 1

I wanna get buzzed on the weekend
Get messed up and depressed with my friends
'Cause I don't need, no, I don't need you

So I'ma take a drug on the weekend
Take myself outta my suppressed head
'Cause I don't need, no, I don't need you

See I've been hurt ten times before
I've hurt myself and so much more
They took me to the 7th floor
And threw me right off (Threw me right off)
See everybody wants to be a little like us
But they don't understand all the things we've done
They will try to change you 'cause they are so afraid of you
But hold on, hold on

'Cause faux plastic dolls
With their hands and their ribbons
Will strangle us all
And they'll all be forgiven
I refuse to be taken
The typical way
So welcome to the freak show
I hope that you find yourself today

I wanna get buzzed on the weekend
Get messed up and depressed with my friends
'Cause I don't need, no, I don't need you

So I'ma take a drug on the weekend
Take myself outta my suppressed head
'Cause I don't need, no, I don't need you

See I'm asleep but wide awake
I pray the Lord my soul will break
It's right there on the table
So take it off, take it off
See everybody wants to be a little like them
But they don't understand how it all will end
They will try to break you 'cause they are so ashamed of you
But hold on, hold on

'Cause faux plastic dolls
With their hands and their ribbons
Will strangle us all
And they'll all be forgiven
I refuse to be taken
The typical way
So welcome to the freak show
I hope that you find yourself today

Times will change
And you might break
But we'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
We'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it

Times will change
And you might break
But we'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
We'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it

Times will change
And you might break (I believe it)
But we'll go on, we'll go on I believe it
We'll go on, we'll go on I believe it

Times will change
And you might break (I believe it)
But we'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
We'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it

Times will change
And you might break
But we'll go on, we'll go on I believe it
We'll go on, we'll go on I believe it

Times will change
And you might break
But we'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it
We'll go on, we'll go on, I believe it

You
I believe it
You
Times will change
And you might break
But I will spend my life believing in you
