Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Four a.m
Eyes of sand
Coffee burned
Shaking hands
Clock on the wall just grins
Like it knows
What I’ve given
[Chorus]
I keep the wheels turning
Till the dawn comes crawling in
Every mile
Every minute
Takes a piece of what I am
Someone’s waking
Someone’s resting
Someone’s life keeps humming on
I pay the price in quiet
To keep this fragile world in motion
[Verse 2]
Skin like smoke
Clothes like lead
Missed your call
Unread thread
Hold my breath at the red light
Tiny grace
In a long night
[Chorus]
I keep the wheels turning
Till the dawn comes crawling in
Every mile
Every minute
Takes a piece of what I am
Someone’s laughing
Someone’s praying
Under clean and gentle suns
I pay the price in silence
To keep this fragile world in motion
[Bridge]
They won’t know my name
They won’t see these veins
Running dry
For their bright days
But this tired spine
Holds the line (holds the line)
Till it frays
[Chorus]
I keep the wheels turning
Till the dawn comes crawling in
Every mile
Every minute
Takes a piece of what I am
Someone’s sleeping
Someone’s dreaming
Safe inside their sheltered rooms
I pay the cost in shadows
To keep this heavy world in tune

Style
Slow dirge at 58 BPM with female vocals. Thick, diesel-like sub swells in long sustains, sparse brushed kicks and distant toms. Bowed strings moan in the low-mid range, steel guitar slides in ghostly swells and occasional answering phrases. Vocal stays intimate and tired, harmony ghosts only on the chorus. Overall energy flat and heavy, building tension through texture shifts more than volume., low, deep, vocal, world, slow
