noah bouchard - pantomime lyrics
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 gl-ss
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
