(Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy)
I am nothin' but the average
Even though I'm special to some
I can't refuse, I'm going under
No one gives a shhh about what's soon to come
What's soon to come
I know my blessing with the privilege
Of doin' anything I want
But I don't feel like getting stronger
In my mind, it's just a game that can't be won
That can't be won
I'm always on the run, run, run, run
Close, but never done, done, done, done
I can't break out when I'm free
Lost in my own identity
I'm on the run, run, run, run
I'm always on the run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy
Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy
(It's like I'm on the) Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy
Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy
All I do is keep my head up
But it's time to keep the pace
Like I'm haunted by the voices deep within
Oh, they're just never gonna fade
Not gonna fade
I'm always on the run, run, run, run
Close, but never done, done, done, done
I can't break out when I'm free
Lost in my own identity
I'm on the run, run, run, run
I'm always on the run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy
Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy
(It's like I'm on the) Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy
Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy
Run from the silence, screamin' for guidance
Who am I fighting for?
Get out of my head, I'm so sick and tired
Can't do this anymore
Run from the silence, screamin' for guidance
Who am I fighting for?
Get out of my head, I'm so sick and tired
Can't do this anymore
Run from the silence, screamin' for guidance (Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy)
Who am I fighting for? (Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy)
Get out of my head, I'm so sick and tired (Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy)
Can't do this anymore (Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy)
Run from the silence, screamin' for guidance (Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy)
Who am I fighting for? (Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy)
Get out of my head, I'm so sick and tired (Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy)
Can't do this anymore (Run, na-na-ayy, run, na-na-ayy)
