[Verse 1]
Crying on the line, tower under vine
Caution on repeat with nowhere to be
Surface on the peak, try a layer deep
Ready to redeem all the drudgery
Follow my pain for a long time dying
I'm crying on the line, tower under vine
Follow my pain for a long time dying
I'm crushing on repeat through another week
Toeing the line, attention to find a gate free
Pushing up to speed, cut a layer deep
Toeing the line, a tension to find a gate free
Ready to redeem all the drudgery
Drive it away and my strength might save me
[Chorus]
It feels like eternity
For what feels like eternity
And what might overpower me
Head down, don't look up
I grind along
Feels like eternity
For what feels like eternity
To race for what's in front of me
Head down, don't look up
I sing
[Verse 2]
Shelter from the storm, keep each other warm
Who will cover me in my hour of need?
Follow my pain for a long time dying
I'm crushing on repeat through another week
Holding the light, attempting to fight the bad dream
Ready to redeem all the drudgery
Drive it away when the time lapse strikes me
[Chorus]
It feels like eternity
For what feels like eternity
And what might overpower me
Head down, don't look up
I grind along
Feels like eternity
For what feels like eternity
To race for what's in front of me
Head down, don't look up
I sing
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
It feels like eternity
For what feels like eternity
And what might overpower me
Head down, don't look up
I grind along
Feels like eternity
For what feels like eternity
And what might overpower me
Head down, don't look up
I grind along
Feels like eternity
For what feels like eternity
To race for what's in front of me
Head down, don't look up
I sing along

James Shaw:
This started as an electronic piece but definitely developed into more of a band moment—especially in the bridge, where I got to exercise my love for Johnny Marr’s playing. When we started sequencing the record, we realised the narrative arc is that it starts in a lot of turmoil and anx...
