The Grinning Man (2016) 100% 3★

Grinpayne & Dea: Your kiss of life has opened my eyes
The place where my heart breaks, you have mended
Your gift of love has given me life
My sorrow and heartache, you have melted

Grinpayne: I am the freak show
I am the freak show
Watch me smile!

Grinpayne: What if this freak that they’re crowding to see
What if that monster could also change me?
And even if I knew what had caused all this pain
Why in the hell would I want to feel it again?

Grinpayne: There is blood in my nightmares-
Trelaw: Fight!
Grinpayne: My heart screams of unspeakable monsters..
Trelaw: Fight!
Grinpayne: You may strip all the stars from the sky..
Trelaw: Fight!
Grinpayne: But I know that I don’t want to die!
Trelaw: Fight!

Grinpayne: And by the laws of every land
And the shame of my disgrace
I vow to find and kill the man who crucified my face.

Ursus: Sometimes dreams are places to hide
When you need to survive in a cruel world
But dreamers like us carve ships out of wood
Crossing oceans of blood to a new world

Company: Laughter is the best medicine
Laughter is the best medicine
Laughter is the best medicine
Laughter is the best medicine

Barkilphedro: [spoken] Stop! For the love of God, make it stop! I hate this pissing song!
…
Oh, I’m sorry. I thought I was thinking.

Grinpayne: I’m the stuff of your nightmares
Was I born of unspeakable monsters?
I’m the shadow who walks in the night
And I strip all the stars from the sky
Who am I?

Grinpayne: The city with its dark embrace
Shows its twisted damaged face
And reflects the labyrinth of my mind

Here amongst these winding streets
Invisible, I move with ease
No one sees the monster walking by

Barkilphedro: Look around, unhappy people, see the truth you can’t deny
Read the faces of your neighbours
Life is pain and then you die
