Trapped in My Mind (Laurie Rogerson Remix) Lyrics

My adrenaline's crashed like Sunderland after Peter Reid

My head's more mashed than a carrot meeting a swede

But not like Benny from ABBA or Ulrika I mean veg

Like David Beckham against Argentina I'm seeing red

I'm aware I'm slowly dying and I'm battling against my age

My internal animal's crying and rattling against the cage

Overwhelmed and suffering permanent sensory overload

I'm feeling about as useful as the stairs in a bungalow

Bricked in but drowning in choice

Sick of the sound of my voice

I swam in the sink and I went and sank in the overflow

The noise gets loud like a vociferous crowd

But I'm bound like a man with no hands tackling pistachios

Audio hallucinations crashes and clattering

Vuvuzelas blowing cats meowing windows are shattering

Seventy versions of me incessantly chattering

My confidence and competence have taken a battering

Cos I'm trapped in my mind

I'm spending all of my time

Ruminating contemplating but finally I'm resigned

To the fact that I find it difficult to unwind

So I simmer for a while before climbing back up the slide

Because I'm trapped in my mind

I'm spending all of my time

Ruminating contemplating but finally I'm resigned

To the fact that I find it impossible to unwind

So I just simmer for a minute before climbing back up the slide

I'm screwing up all my ideas and tipping them in the bin

Self-doubt is the demon that cripples you from within

I'm a deer in the headlights, a walking contradiction

Frozen by fear fixated in fantasy fiction

I feel like a fraud and I'm holding myself back

With a cynical sword stealthily severing my sack

Causing eye watering pain

But it's a chore to explain

Cos I'm so bored of this game

I'm disengaged and I'm mainly hearing nonsense and gibberish

I'm nervous and skittish

More illusion than human and more reptilian than British

What's my identity

Who am I meant to be

Why am I placid when I've got so much intensity

I'm wondering if I even have opinions at all

I feel boring like I'm more of a drag than Ru Paul

Like a jilted bride I've lost all sense of sense

But I can see every side so I just sit on the fence

Because I'm trapped in my mind

I'm spending all of my time

Ruminating contemplating but finally I'm resigned

To the fact that I find it difficult to unwind

So I simmer for a while before climbing back up the slide

Because I'm trapped in my mind

I'm spending all of my time

Ruminating contemplating but finally I'm resigned

To the fact that I find it impossible to unwind

So I just simmer for a minute before climbing back up the slide

Because I'm trapped in my mind

I'm spending all of my time

Ruminating contemplating but finally I'm resigned

To the fact that I find it difficult to unwind

So I just simmer for a while before climbing back up the slide

Because I'm trapped in my mind

I'm spending all of my time

Ruminating contemplating but finally I'm resigned

To the fact that I find it impossible to unwind

So I simmer for a minute before climbing back up the slide
