Runaway Riot Lyrics

Born in the dust of a life I didn't choose

Taught to follow rules, always meant to lose

Fists and words that cut like chains

Tried to mold me, but I ain't the same

Forced to play a game that wasn't mine

Stuck in the grind, but I'd draw the line

They said, "Be who you're told, don't pretend,"

But I knew deep down, I wouldn't bend

I screamed in silence, locked in disguise

Trapped in a cage, but I'd rise

Had to run, had to be free

There's a fire inside burning endlessly

I'm a runaway riot, breaking the chain

Fists in the air, screaming my pain

No more hiding, I'm standing tall

Fought for this life, I'm breaking the wall

I'm a runaway riot, no turning back

Took the hits, but now I'm on track

Born from their hate, but I'm burning bright

I'm the storm, I'm the fight

Thirteen years, drowning in shame

Trapped in a body that wasn't the same

Told me I was wrong, told me I was weak

Made me feel small, made me feel bleak

Their words like fists, cutting me down

But I never let them see me drown

Took their hate, but wore my pride

And now I'm living on the outside

Fled from the lies, ran from their eyes

Wearing my truth, no more disguise

Hormones kick in, I'm taking control

Finally free to heal my soul

I'm a runaway riot, breaking the chain

Fists in the air, screaming my pain

No more hiding, I'm standing tall

Fought for this life, I'm breaking the wall

I'm a runaway riot, no turning back

Took the hits, but now I'm on track

Born from their hate, but I'm burning bright

I'm the storm, I'm the fight

Hit by life, knocked down twice

Steel in my bones, paid the price

Lost every friend, every damn fight

But you can't kill this, I'm alive tonight

I'll rage, I'll scream, until they hear

My voice, my life, in every tear

Runaway, yeah, but I'm not done

I'm the fire you tried to shun

I'm a runaway riot, breaking the chain

Fists in the air, screaming my pain

No more hiding, I'm standing tall

Fought for this life, I'm breaking the wall

I'm a runaway riot, no turning back

Took the hits, but now I'm on track

Born from their hate, but I'm burning bright

I'm the storm, I'm the fight

I'm the fight

I'm the riot in the night

Runaway, but I'll never fall

I'm burning, burning it all
