Step right up, take a look inside

Behind the curtains, where the secrets hide

Under the lights, the monsters come alive

A twisted dance in a carnival of lies

They point and laugh, but they don't see

The hidden scars, the agony

A painted smile to mask the pain

In this cruel and wicked game

I'm the circus freak, the one they seek

A sideshow act, a broken dream

In the center ring, I wear my chains

A fragile heart beneath the flames

The ringmaster's whip, it cracks the air

A marionette in a nightmare

A hollow echo of who I used to be

Lost in the shadow of this travesty

They point and laugh, but they don't see

The hidden scars, the agony

A painted smile to mask the pain

In this cruel and wicked game

I'm the circus freak, the one they seek

A sideshow act, a broken dream

In the center ring, I wear my chains

A fragile heart beneath the flames

Every night, the show goes on

Another mask to put upon

A prisoner of the spotlight's gleam

A shattered soul, a stolen dream

I'm the circus freak, the one they seek

A sideshow act, a broken dream

In the center ring, I wear my chains

A fragile heart beneath the flames

The crowd disperses, the lights go down

Alone in silence, I'm left to drown

In the memories of what I've lost

A circus freak, paying the cost
