[Verse 1 – growled, rhythmic] Paint my smile in gasoline, Light the match—make me obscene. Twisted bones in a cage of chrome, Welcome, sinner, to my home. Chains for curtains, rust for stage, I bleed applause and swallow rage. Every scream a melody, Every freak’s a part of me. [Pre-Chorus – building, metallic snare hits] Mirror mask, I see your shame— You paid to watch, you feel the same! [Chorus – roaring and theatrical] I’m the freak of the circus, Born from your fear and your worship! Laugh while I burn in the glow— You made the monster, don’t act like you don’t know! I’m the freak of the circus, Bleeding joy where the gears twist! Dance in the dust till it swallows you whole— The spotlight feeds on your soul! [Verse 2 – more percussive, animalistic energy] Steel-toothed grin, my halo’s cracked, Laughter stitched down my back. Swallow the nails, spit out the flame, Every night it ends the same. Call me the ringmaster’s ghost, Wired on pain and overdose. Round and round the carousel spins— The crowd forgets where hell begins. [Bridge – distorted calliope, deep bass hum] “Step inside… the show must go on…” [spoken, snarled]: I dance for the blind, And bleed for the bored, Every cheer’s a knife, Every eye—a sword. [Final Chorus – full industrial power] I’m the freak of the circus, Crown me with rust and the verdict! All of your horror, I breathe it slow— You made the monster, don’t act like you don’t know! I’m the freak of the circus, Spinning fire through your conscience! Bow to the dark, let the curtains close— The crowd goes wild as the madness grows! [Outro FX] [Applause fades.] [Mechanical laughter echoes.] [Vinyl crackle.] “And now, for our next attraction…” [cut to silence]
