I belong in a circus, in the sideshow
“Step right up! See the blue haired girl! Silent Patti from Detroit!
She never speaks! The only one in existence!”
I belong in there, not out here with you
The shiest girl with the hottest man
It doesn’t seem right. It doesn’t seem fair.
I belong in the freak show, standing next
to the two-headed goat
“Step right up! See the purple haired girl! Silent Patti from Detroit!
She never speaks! The only one in existence!”
That’s how I feel
I shouldn’t be here with you
I shouldn’t be anywhere, but locked away
in a cage at the sideshow
at the freak show
Where only the creeps want to hit on me
I belong in there
because that’s where I belong
“Step right up! See the green haired girl! Silent Patti from Detroit!
She never speaks! The only one in existence!”

that which…
that which is empty and
clean and dry
.
that which…
that which is aching
inside of me
that which
.
I tried to see that which
lies within
but it’s too expensive to
see
.
that which…
that which is hidden
inside of me
remains hidden
forever
.
that which…
that which I hold so
dear is lost
.
that which…
that which forever
tears me apart inside
remains hidden
that which
.

Swirling around me
they giggle and point
and laugh at my hair
as i am trapped
in my cage
behind all the faces
all the porcelain eyes
that seem to protect me
but expose me at the same
time
.
they move around my cage
threatening me
with their questions
their longing stares
no no
not me
I’m not the puppet master
no no
not me
I don’t control the strings
I’m just Pinnochio
a wooden boy
waiting to be real
hoping to be real
one day
.
I sit in my cage
and hope you don’t see
me
hidden behind my fears
hidden behind
these eyes
that protect me
but scare me all at once
.
