Ng Jun Ze - cut it out Lyrics

I'm not cut out for the grand stage
Lost in the crowds, my dreams in a cage
They push my finish line further each time I get close
Feeling like a ghost, lacking what they boast
From humble roots, my parents shelved their dreams
So who am I to chase mine, or to even redeem
Stage fright at five, reciting stories in class
Cold feet at fifteen, speeches I couldn't pass
Teary-eyed at eighteen, words caught in my throat
Panic attacks at twenty, trying hard to sing a note
Confide in my phone memo
The only one who seem to know
More than"He's just being him""He's just thin-skinned""He's just sinking deeper than sleep" but paper cuts sting
As they yawn at the reasons that uppercut him
Ambition misplaced, following cutouts
Cosplaying adults, it's my default
Cutting up my dreams, pasting them like my own
Cutting ties with places once felt like my home
As I sit with myself, all alone
Cut-throat friends get close when they see you take the high road
With popcorn, watching your posts before you implode
Their insecurities, crab mentalities
I see it all, but I still fall
Second-guessed all my dreams
Read me like I'm a meme
Maybe I should've wanted less
Maybe I should've stopped giving my best
Maybe I should've known where I stand
Maybe I'm not worth knowing
Maybe I'm bland
So extra, yet an ordinary sir
You need to be better before you claim yourself an imposter
Like playing rock-paper-scissors in front of a mirror
I can't convince myself that I can
But who am I living for, if it's me and not them
Ambition misplaced, following cutouts
Cosplaying adults, it's my default
Cutting up my dreams, pasting them like my own
But we have the same goals, cutting ties with the status quo
Oh woah oh oh oh woah oh woah
Still feel the hunger, still have the appetite
I cut out the need to be so easily satisfied
Cutting loose ends, cutting loose thoughts
Dark circles made me a try-hard but so what
I'm not cutting my rest, I'm just doing my best
I want to prove myself wrong, I want to beat my chest
And attest to the fact that
One day I'll be a cut above the rest
Beat the allegations they defend
For all of their lives
But for all that I care
Cutting through the noise, cut it out
I'll make the cut before amen
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ambition embraced, following sellouts
Cosplayed by adults, it's what I'm proud of
Cutting out my dreams, pasting them as my own
But we have unique goals, cutting ties with the status quo
Oh woah oh oh oh woah oh oh woah oh oh woah
Oh woah oh
For all of their lives
But for all that I care
Cutting through their noise, cut it out
I'll make the cut before amen
The end
