Welcome To FreakTown

NSFWLiner Notes
Ok. After I came up with The Witch Of FreakTown my mind started swirling about expanding this little town of freaks and using it in more songs. So, I guess in addition to the two EPs I intended to write this FAWM, I've accidentally seeded a third idea. I started writing and I couldn't stop, and this is what came out.
I'm imagining some nu metal-esque rhythmic verses, but overall a heavier (but also poppier) punk sound with some Halloween synths.
It's clear I'm not going to get all of the demos done for the songs I've already written, so this one is absolutely NOT going to get a demo.
Lyrics
(Verse 1) Welcome to FreakTown, take a look around Where all kinds of twisted fuckery can be found There's a reason you're here. So, what's your vice? No need to be shy. Don't make me ask twice
(Verse 2) Maybe you're into that kinky shit, with leather and whips (hot) Maybe you long for another woman's lips (mmhmm) Or maybe you like to bleed out the pain (AAAAARRRGGHHH) And just let your tears fall like the rain (Water sounds)
(Chorus) C'mon babe, there's a reason you're here What's your damage? No need for that fear We're all fucked up, no need to be shy You're here now, and we want to know why It's not just curiosity, don't give us that lie Honesty is king here, that shit's not gonna fly People put on their best face when they're in the light But if you want REAL, then live in the night
(Verse 3) Maybe you can't be real because you think you're wrong Maybe they told you that you didn't belong Maybe they criticized and demonized that which you treasure No longer proud, you just enjoy your GUILTY pleasure
(Verse 4) Or maybe they did some damage and you're broken inside And they just beat you down more every time you cried And then blamed you for being that way When you, being you, is just perfectly okay
(Chorus)
(Bridge) Things here aren't light and happy Not tainted by the facade that everything is fine We like to live in reality, and accept it's kinda crappy Here in the shadows we let our darkness shine
The truth is that you're not "supposed" to be anything You are as you are, that is enough Let go of those masks to which you cling It's ok to accept that you're one of us
(Chorus)
bold and very engaging lyric... nicely done!
