[Verse 1 – Whispered Voice]
I hold the door, I wear the smile
But I count the exits all the while
Eyes on me like I’m just like them
But I’m carving hell with a fountain pen
[Pre-Chorus]
Glass in my shoes
Lies on my tongue
I blend in well…
Until I come undone
[Chorus – Explosive]
I’m a freak in the crowd
You won’t see me 'til I’m loud
There’s a monster in my skin
Clawing out to let it in
I’m your neighbor, I’m your friend
Till the wires snap and the rules all bend
Smile wide, play it proud —
I’m the freak in the crowd
[Verse 2 – Gritty, Creeping]
Sit in silence, drink my tea
But shadows whisper back to me
Twist my neck, crack my bones
I hear voices when I’m alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Twitch in the light
Cry in the dark
I keep my mask
'Til it falls apart
[Chorus – Stronger Impact]
I’m a freak in the crowd
You won’t hear me 'til I’m loud
I’m the crack behind the smile
I’ve been hiding all the while
Count your steps, I count your sin
I know where the end begins
Polite face, broken vow —
I’m the freak in the crowd
[Verse 3 – Haunting, Delirious]
Clock hands laugh, they spin too fast
Echoes crawling from my past
I talk to walls, they talk right back
Trace my name in blood and black
[Bridge – Spoken, Fragmented]
They say:
“You seem so normal…”
“He was always so quiet…”
“We never saw it coming…”
[Final Chorus – Twisted and Glorious]
Now I’m free in the crowd
Screaming mercy, screaming loud
Every stare, every doubt
Burns like fire from my mouth
I was you — now I’m not
I was sane, now I rot
No escape, no turn around —
There’s a freak in the crowd…
