Its all homemade
Voluntarily flayed
I'm on the streets again
Still feeling full up
But the fool won't shut up
I'm on my feet again

CHORUS1
This is a metaphor
That I've not used before
My jaw stuck to the floor
Who will pick me up and make me sane?

I've run out of supplies
I've got blood in my eyes
I'm calling shots again
What was that name?
I screamed you never came
I'm asking who, what, when?

CHORUS2
I am an open book
If you care take a look
My skin hangs from a hook
Skinned alive a naked truth displayed

We have all aged
My life feeling staged
Can you applaud again?
I'm dodging the muck
That the audience chuck
I am despised again

"If a song is streamed on the internet and no one listens, does it make a sound?"

Prolific musician, author, photographer and oddity.  With influences ranging from the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, the glam of Bowie and the nakedness of Iggy Pop - this is Marc Freak.  Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.  An experiment in DIY and lofi.  The odd bum note here, the even odder bum note there.  But with art do we care?
