Feel like I'm stuck up in a pantomime
Or maybe I've been stuck in front of traffic lights
Running rings around a roundabout
And everybody begging for a shout me out
I'm still sitting in a traffic jam
Cos I ain't built for living in the fast lane
Still wanna get my mark made
But I don't wanna put myself in harm's way

Feel like I'm stuck up in a pantomime
Where the goodies hold the bragging rights
And I find myself in Centre stage
All I wanted was to have a life
But I don't wanna find an alibi
So all that I can say is just a hi and bye
Sit alone and maybe time will fly
Swiping right and typing chat up lines
Go to uni I'm in second year
I don't think I've ever left my second gear
Hood up head down when I'm on road
Cos I don't wanna stumble over pot holes
How does she believe well only God knows
I'm impressed I'm running with a blocked nose
Cold out when the Sun's in
And the public only read what's on the front print

Feel like I'm stuck up in a pantomime
And the villain he behind me
Always wanna put me on my heine
If we get it right they write a Time piece
If they buy then I might buy a timepiece
And dance all for the lights until it blinds me
For now I'm back stage with the stage fright
And everybody else can have a great night
And if they get a cue then they all boo
And if they read the card then they all laugh
What if this life? Was just a set up?
Crash half way and buy a sports car
Keep revising all our lectures
And don't we ever ask a question
First rule of the pantomime
Pantomimes don't work without acceptance
And I accept it

Warming my chords drinking lemsip
Audience make applause and they exit
Then we all just a name on a checklist
And they flexing living in a bedsit
If they look good feeling good gets neglected
I wanna smash glass break doors, get arrested
But instead I'm a chill and watch Netflix
Adrenaline rush to my head, it's
Like I'm living with a death wish
So far I've struggled for direction
But I'm going out hard like it's Brexit

Feel like I'm stuck up in a pantomime
Pressure got me feeling like the worst act
Stunt for the public click clack
Blow my brains on stage like I'm Birdman
