[1st Verse:]

Day nears end
The walls are closing in
Again…again…
Sick of getting by
No matter how hard I try
To get ahead

[Pre Chorus:]

All I need now is to get out of this town
And get away

[Chorus:]

You need to tell yourself now
You can't keep running from
The ones that let you down
You play the game to feel alive
To get by

Don't want to be
Tranquilized

[2nd Verse:]

Numb again
Wondering how I, let it get to this
Wasting all my time
In this dead end life
Tell me now when will this end

[Pre Chorus:]

All I need now is to get out of this town
And get away

[Chorus:]

You need to tell yourself now
You can't keep running from
The ones that drag you down
You play the game to feel alive
To get high

Don't want to be,
Tranquilized

[Chorus:]

You need to tell yourself now
You can't keep running from
The ones that let you down
You play the game to feel alive
To get by

Don't want to be
Tranquilized
