 Cm
Crying on the line, tower under vine
 Fm                                  D#
Caution on repeat, with nowhere to be
Cm
Surface of the peak, try a layer deep
 Fm
Ready to redeem all the drudgery
 D#
Follow my pain for a long time dying

     Cm
I'm crying on the line, tower under vine
Cm
Follow my pain for a long time dying
     Fm
I'm crushing on repeat through another week
 D#
Towing the line attention to find a gate free
Cm
Pushing up to speed, cut a layer deep
Towing the line a tension to find a gate free
 Fm
Ready to redeem all the drudgery
  D#
Drive it away and my strength might save me

Chorus:
Cm
It feels like eternity for what feels like eternity
     Fm
And what might overpower me
 D#                                Cm
Head down, don't look up, I grind along
Cm
Feels like eternity for what feels like eternity
   Fm
To race for what's in front of me
   D#
"Head down, don't look up", I sing

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
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
