Running In Place (Alternate Take)

Sounds bounce around, the noise just drowns me out
Too fast to focus, nothing is showing any sign of slowing down
Dreams feed to me in the form of a magazine
I can't control it, channels have chosen what I'm supposed to be

It's hopeless, as far as I can see
There's no rest 'cause we're stuck on repeat (I'll)

Stand here and wait for the world to finally stop
Running in place, chasing after what we don't need
Keep running
I'll stand here and wait for the world

Bright flashing lights, the ads just fill my eyes
Colors colliding, voices inviting me to buy a better life
She speaks to me, he knows just what I need
I can't control it, I have to own it, everything's made for me

It's hopeless, as far as I can see
There's no rest 'cause we're stuck on repeat (I'll)

Stand here and wait for the world to finally stop
Running in place, chasing after what we don't need
Keep running
I'll stand here and wait for the world

For the world to finally stop
Chasing after what we want
Just take it all away (take it all away)
Flush it all away (flush it all away)
We won't change

I'll stand here and wait for the world to finally stop
Running in place, chasing after what we don't need
Keep running
I'll stand here and wait for the world

For the world to stop
For the world to stop
For the world to stop
For the world to finally stop
