I was the one at the shot of the gun
Right from the line I would run till I won
Loved the feeling of the air in my lungs
Never tired
I had the fire
But somewhere in between
Approval crippled me
Took all my energy
It left me thirsty
I'm so sick of all this Muddy Water
Give me something real or don't even bother
Don't try to tell me who to be
I know
I don't need another fake hero
I'm so sick of all this Muddy Water
Now I can see
You don't hold the key
Go and be you but I gotta be me
Out of the clouds I can finally breathe
I got the fire
Inspired
Cuz somewhere in between
Approval crippled me
Took all my energy
It left me thirsty
I'm so sick of all this Muddy Water
Give me something real or don't even bother
Don't try to tell me who to be
I know
I don't need another fake hero
I'm so sick of all this Muddy Water
Get outta my head
Get outta my head
I'm seeing clearly now
Get outta my head
Get outta my head
I know what you're about
Get outta my head
Get outta my head
Not gonna take me down
Get outta my head
Get outta my head
Get outta my head
Get outta my head
I'm so sick of all this Muddy Water
Give me something real or don't even bother
Don't try to tell me who to be
I know
I don't need another fake hero
I'm so sick of all this Muddy Water
I'm so sick of all this Muddy Water
This Muddy Water
