Versions
Running
This is the only known version. Another track featuring much percussion layering, the busy beatloops back long, drawn-out vocal notes in the verses, with quicker whispers forming a pre-chorus that bounces from ear to ear and recalls a similar vocal approach in "Ruiner." The minimalist chorus retains the percussion layers but is differentiated by a smooth lead vocal and backing, harmonized "ooh" vocals. A bouncing guitar riff follows each chorus. The approach of rhythms and the subdued instrumentation and vocals atop recall the How To Destroy Angels track "The Believers."
Lyrics
I followed you again this morning Was close enough to feel you near Pretending everyone could see me Just slip away and disappear They're right behind They're so inclined They're all aligned They're undermined As good as blind I'm out of time So hard to find So well defined They're all aligned They're intertwined They're undermined They're so inclined They're right behind So hard to find As good as blind I'm out of time I'm running out of places I can hide from this (x4) I had a friend I think who knew me I couldn't seem to make him say I know they're watching, waiting for me I know I'll never get away I'm running out of places I can hide from this (x8) I'm running out (repeated) I'll never get away (x3)
