Thing In The Cage

(album: Screem Writers Guild - 2023)

Step right up
I am worth your ticket
Look at me
I'll show you horrific

No one could tell that I'm just a broken thing (A broken thing)
I am a wonder they come see
The rubes pay more for horror that I can bring (I can bring)
This freak show needs a geek like me
Forsaken

Everyone stares at the thing in the cage
Everyone stares as I shiver in rage
I am the sideshow attraction
My misery's here for your satisfaction

Everyone stares at the thing in the cage
Standing applause as I enter the stage
They say I'm the spawn of the devil
I am unique and I'm god damn special

Yesterday ruined my tomorrow
All my scars tell of broken sorrow

No one could tell that I'm just a broken thing (A broken thing)
I am a wonder they come see
The rubes pay more for horror that I can bring (I can bring)
This freak show needs a geek like me
Forsaken

Everyone stares at the thing in the cage
Everyone stares as I shiver in rage
I am the sideshow attraction
My misery's here for your satisfaction

Everyone stares at the thing in the cage
Standing applause as I enter the stage
They say I'm the spawn of the devil
I am unique and I'm god damn special

Used to have fine cuisine and hefty payment
Now I eat rats to feed your entertainment

Everyone stares at the thing in the cage
Everyone stares as I shiver in rage
I am the sideshow attraction
My misery's here for your satisfaction

Everyone stares at the thing in the cage
Standing applause as I enter the stage
They say I'm the spawn of the devil
I am unique and I'm god damn special
