[Chorus]
I've tried to say all the things that I need to say
It's a brand new day
I've stitched myself so many times
That it's hard just to walk away
I've been thinkin' now
You can try to believe in the things that you think are true
But I want you to know
Everything comes about 'cause of what's inside of you
[Verse 1: Jamie Madrox]
My inner magic, they brand me as a psychopathic
Phantom in the posse, but I'm enigmatic
These wicked stars are sharper than the licks from the guitars
In carnival trading cards I appear as the minotaur
My brother is far deeper
Call him an abomination, but I am my brother's keeper
Engulfed in a cloud of reefer
A mutant, a true believer, mirrors are real deceiver
And I'm the one in make up and cover up in concealer
Dark carnival anthem
Most of my heroes are juggalos 'cause the world just don't understand them
Calculatin' at random
Cold as ice, full of emotion, I'm screamin' off on a tantrum
Freak shows, you know you're not alone
Like a needle and thread together sewn
Deep end, you know somewhere below
Where the likes of our kind are bound to go
[Chorus]
I've tried to say all the things that I need to say
It's a brand new day
I've stitched myself so many times
That it's hard just to walk away
I've been thinkin' now
You can try to believe in the things that you think are true
But I want you to know
Everything comes about 'cause of what's inside of you
[Verse 2: Monoxide]
Jekyll and Hyde is what I'm holdin' inside
With a poke and a vibe, can switch to the hopelessness side
Sure I tried, but how can it really last
With the foundation that was built on was lies from in the past
Nothin' but flies on a pile of trash
Say my goodbyes and let the anger pass
I'll be the scapegoat, I'll the take the hate flow
From all the lame hoes and the unfaithful
We got two records in, and we're a staple
You know the family got us killin' the fable
Now let me take you on a journey to the places you call home
I hope that you heard me anytime you felt alone
Life is dark and murky when entering my zone
Not a lot of people can handle where I roam
I'm just another creature, the faces I don't know
But that'll never stop me from being a freak show
[Chorus]
I've tried to say all the things that I need to say
It's a brand new day
I've stitched myself so many times
That it's hard just to walk away
I've been thinkin' now
You can try to believe in the things that you think are true
But I want you to know
Everything comes about 'cause of what's inside of you
[Skit: Jamie Madrox, Alex Abiss]
Ay, ay, this is Jamie, leave me a message
I'm doing something, I'm busy
Paul, Jamie, this is Alex, man
We got some fuckin' problems
I just got this fax here from the label, talking about
Most of the major chains ain't gonna take the new record
They said that the album cover is just too over the edge
And they said that they won't take unless we'll censor the cover
Like put a sticker on it or some bull hoe shit like that
And you know we ain't going down that fuckin' route
So I don't know what I gotta do, man, but whatever
I'm gonna call up some of these fuckin' labels, man
I'ma take care of some of this bullshit
And don't worry, man
We'll make sure the motherfuckers take the record as it is
'Cause we ain't selling out for shit
I'm on it, man, just giving you a heads up, peace
