Running Awake
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I’m feeling down, I’m feeling out
Feeling stuck up under the cold ground
Everyone’s saying I’ll never make a sound
I need to live, I need to break
Need to go and make a mistake
Anything else to kill repetition now
Who’s to say if we’re wrong or right?
Who’s to say if the world decides?
Running awake, running awake
Who’s to say if we never learn?
Who’s to say we can’t live forever?
Running awake in this sweet nightmare
We pay the price to disagree
Sinkin’ under while I’m sleeping
It’s worth every night I spend wide awake to me
Who’s to say if we’re wrong or right?
Who’s to say if the world decides?
Running awake, running awake
Who’s to say if we never learn?
Who’s to say we can’t live forever?
Running awake in this sweet nightmare
All the nights with the lights on the road, I’ve seen
Through the lies and the ladders they climb on me
I only want to have a chance, I’m not giving in
Who’s to say if we’re wrong or right?
Who’s to say if the world decides?
Running awake, running awake
Who’s to say if we never learn?
Who’s to say we can’t live forever?
Running awake in this sweet nightmare
