[Verse 1]
When you're feeling low
Hypodermic's where you go
When you're with yourself
You wish you could be someone else

[Chorus]
Can't you see like you saw anymore?
Can't you feel like you felt before?
Can't you face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away
Your life's a waste
Run away
Run away!

[Verse 2]
Once you get a ride
Doesn't matter where you lied
Once you shoot it in
Doesn't matter who you've been

[Chorus]
Can't you see like you saw anymore?
Can't you feel like you felt before?
Can't you face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away
Your life's a waste
Run away
Run away!

[Verse 3]
Oh, you're reaching in
But you don't know where to begin
All your dance and song
Won't matter when you're gone

[Chorus]
Can't you see like you saw anymore?
Can't you feel like you felt before?
Can't you face anything anymore?
When life's a waste
Run away
Your life's a waste
Run away
Run away!

Run away, run away
Run away
