The Monstrous Cabaret

from Carnival Milita by Stand Out Riot

/

lyrics

I’ve been writing these words for 7 days now,
And now I’ve only realised, exactly what they mean,
I think I’m special,
But I’m downright disgusting,
Loving and trusting,
Complementary thrusting.

And while trying to concoct a meaning song,
I realise, this one’s too short and this one’s all wrong,
But a glance in the mirror I see,
I am the monster, and this show is just for me.

And now I know I think like them,
And now I know I can’t fight nature itself,
Or is that just another excuse?
And now I know I think like them,
But society is the problem,
Or is it myself I need to change?

I’ll think till I’m comatose, pondering whether,
These thoughts that I have, are making me sick.
A look out the window confirms my suspicion,
That we are all waiting…
For when the girls line up and the lights go on,
Here begins the voyeur’s marathon,
I realised today, we are the cabaret

This roadblock in my mind,
Has finally shifted, to reveal
A great wide, gaping, hole.
And if it ever happened,
The day the sun burned out,
I know who I’d wanna spend the darkness with
