The Young Man -- Origin Story Rewritten

Prologue

Welcome to our freak show, come meet my monsters

Oh, such a fine collection of stranger things

My patience running thinner on this melting clock

Cerebrum jailed with thoughts, most would consider rot

To think you're any different from an animal

A creature sick as you should be put down

Freak o' Friday night, know I'm the main attraction

Basket acrobat, they wanna see some action

Tinkering with my design, twist and turn my feral mind

Play with me 'til you've found another toy

Let me be your freak show, I could be your favorite monster

Rattle my whole cage, remind me why I can't be fostered

Let me be your freak show, I could be your favorite monster

Lock me up, don't let me out 'cause you know I can't help myself

You're wasting, you're wasting all

Of your time finding a cure when there's no disease

You're wasting, you're wasting all

Of your talent on an audience who sees a freak
