It grows like a bad seed
And brings pain and confusion
Like there's no other state of mind
I am always somewhere in between
Badlands deep in my heart
They've made me judge
And criticize before I came to realize
That changes must start from a place within
Wide awake and on the run
You want a remedy to knock you out
Gonna say you're out of luck
You ask your enemy to shoot you down
To shoot you down
Don't stop, cause comfort kills
You may not see the subtle signs
Which every day and every hour
Tell us not to try, but to stand still
Wide awake and on the run
You want a remedy to knock you out
Gonna say you're out of luck
You ask your enemy to shoot you down
To shoot you down
Now the clear break of dawn
Comes to shake my twisted thoughts
Couldn't breath, couldn't talk, couldn't find a way to move on
Am I still dead and gone, am I right or wrong?
Wide awake and on the run
You want a remedy to knock you out
Gonna say you're out of luck
You ask your enemy to shoot you down
To shoot you down
