Second single from Modern Sonder's debut EP 'Crisis, Grace & Growth' [Radio Edit].

lyrics

We all want the same lies;
‘Inner peace’ and catalogue lives.
Eyes on the main prize
There are no false starts or second tries.

And it’ll be everything and more
All I’ve been longing for.
And how will it feel to win?
Can I hack the pace in this solo race
That I’m running in?

And now I’m fifteen feet from the finishing line
That victory is mine
Don’t look down, no don’t stop now.
Fifteen feet then you’re falling from grace
Doubt knocks you flat on your face
Don’t stop now, and don’t look down.

Who will you lean on
When the odds are down and your hope has gone?
And what are you running from?
My words are weak but my will is strong.

And I know I’ll bloom then fade
But I can still grow in the shade.
I know I’ll break and bend
And when they’re tearing my limbs off
I’ll just grow them back again.

But now I’m faltering
I’m just ten feet from the finishing line
Voices ringing out in my mind say
“Don’t look down, no don’t stop now.”
Just ten feet then I’m out of control
Seconds away from selling my soul
Don’t stop now, and don’t look down.

It’s the same old journey the same old dream.
Keep your tribe dead close and your conscience clean.
But ask yourself what it really means
Is getting there all it seems?

And now I’m just three feet from the finishing line
Adrenaline seeping out of my spine
Don’t look down, don’t stop now.
Just three feet then the finish line fades
Moves fifteen feet further away
Don’t stop now, and don’t look down.
