WE ARE RUNNING VA (Act I – Song 2)

WE ARE RUNNING (Act I – Song 2) [Intro: Dramatic ] [Verse 1 ] The ground is blurring 'neath my feet Like a ghost upon the street I missed the sky as dawn began Just the gray of where I ran I have to outrun every shade Before the light begins to fade. [Chorus] We are running, we are running To a horizon out of sight We are running, we are running Slaves to seasons, day and night The earth is spinning, and I slide Down this mountain, nowhere to hide. [Verse 2] Files are piling, phones are ringing Artificial needs are clinging If I stop, I’ll disappear Like a scratch, a trace of fear My heart is pounding 'gainst my chest Nothing’s left, no peace, no rest. [Chorus ] We are running, we are running To a horizon out of sight We are running, we are running Slaves to seasons, day and night The earth is spinning, and I slide Down this mountain, nowhere to hide. [Verse 3 ] Move on! My legs are feeling cold. Produce! The city’s taking hold. Don’t think, don’t dream, just keep the pace! Lead is heavy in this race. I can’t go on... I’ve lost control... The machine has eaten my soul! The machine has eaten my soul!....... [Chorus ] We are running, we are running Without ever touching the floor We are running, we are running Chasing shadows, wanting more We burn ourselves to have it all But being nowhere as we fall. [Break: Musical ] [Verse 4] I see the people pass like sparks Fading ghosts in neon darks We cross our paths but never see We’ve forgotten how to be Is this what living's meant to mean? Just a speck in the machine? [Chorus 4] We are running, we are running To a horizon out of sight We are running, we are running Slaves to seasons, day and night The earth is spinning, and I slide Down this mountain, nowhere to hide. [Verse 5 ] I want to break, I want to stay! But the tide sweeps me away The world is blurring in my head... I’m losing sanity instead! I’m burning in the center of the flame For a finish line... without a name! [Chorus 5 ] WE ARE RUNNING! WE ARE RUNNING! TO FORGET OUR SILENT CRIES! WE ARE RUNNING! WE ARE RUNNING! BUT WHAT ARE WE FLEEING, TELL ME WHY? [ Chorus ] WE ARE RUNNING! WE ARE RUNNING! (WE ARE RUNNING! WE ARE RUNNING!) UNTIL WE LOSE OUR VERY NAMES! (UNTIL WE LOSE OUR VERY NAMES!) WE ARE RUNNING! WE ARE RUNNING! (WE ARE RUNNING! WE ARE RUNNING!) IN THIS MADNESS, IN THESE GAMES! (IN THIS MADNESS, IN THESE GAMES!) [Outro] STOP IT ALLLLLL! STOP IT ALLLLLL.................................. [End]
