Call Him A Freak

(Verse 1)

Dust on his jacket from the locker room floor

He can’t walk through that hallway anymore

Another trip, another laugh in his face

He’s looking for a corner, a hiding place

They stole his book and tore out the leaves

He’s shaking, wiping tears on his sleeves

Fists hit like a hammer, thrown down to the lawn

He’s counting the seconds til the pain is gone.

(Pre-Chorus)

The pressure’s in his chest, he’s about to break

How much more is he supposed to take?

The shadows are starting to grow tall

He’s tired of having his back against the wall.

(Chorus)

So you can call him freak (call him freak)

See how much abuse he can take

Yeah, you can call him freak ( freak)

Over and over Until he finally breaks

You pushed 'til the wire snapped thin

Now the quiet kid let the thunder in.

(Verse 2)

He’s sitting in the back with his head low

Watching the clock, nowhere left to go

They’re passing by, yeah, saying his name

Playing with fire while he’s drowning in shame

a hand hits his face, his body hits the ground

Everyone freezes at the echoing sound

Something inside him goes cold and still

The boy they love to break has found an iron will.

(Bridge)

He didn’t ask for war, he didn’t pick the fight

He just wanted peace within the light

they crowded his space, there was nowhere to breathe

Now they’re praying, begging him to leave.

Oh lord, Oh please!

(Guitar Solo - guitar wails)

(Chorus)

So you can call him freak

See how much abuse he can take

Yeah, you can call him freak

Over and over Until he finally breaks

You pushed 'til the wire snapped thin

Now the quiet kid let the thunder in.

(Outro)

The room goes quiet...

The shouting stops...

Tick tock, tic tock

You can call him freak...

(Yeah, call him a freak)

Now you see...

Call him a freak
