Pressure Academy

 Welcome to Pressure Academy
Where everyone's threatened by individuality
Everywhere it seems that high school never ends
Especially when you're surrounded by them, fake arse friends

All these years, I've been burning out
Good looks, good grades that's all they fucking cared about
Makes no sense that I got punished for being a Pokémon fan
Yet I get called boring for having self-respect because I ain't stealing someone's man

Parents should be proud that I catch Pokémon, not STD's
Yet they cared too much about GCSEs
These petty princesses are sporting that mean-girl energy
That shit ain't pretty
Just because I refuse to wear sarees and salwar kameez
They reek of jealousy, a dangerous disease

Spare me them Totodile tears
When you've all been ostracising me for years
All you do is pick & choose
Don't believe the truth, you lose

Hey you!
Don't tell me what to do
Just because you remember me from the same school
I remember the shit you did, they weren't cool
All these years, my soul was filled with guilt and shame
Leave me alone, I don't want to know your name

Fuck school uniform
I don't wanna conform
When I was forced to wear a skirt
I got accused of being a flirt
How I dress
Doesn't scream yes
No, I didn't ask
To wear this mask
Don't confuse my safety for selfishness
While you're mistaking assertiveness for aggressiveness

I don't miss Pressure Academy
They're responsible for the theft of my identity
I feel sanity
When I'm far away from the total depravity
