Avenged Sevenfold - Tension lyrics

rate me

I wake up every morning, bright and early

Roll out of bed but i'm never quite alone

Tension is pulling me in all directions

And i'll be done once you use me as a rope

Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy

At any time i could explode

I need some piece of mind, it's got me tired

Don't wanna lose it, but i'm turning down that road

I need a moment 'cause i've dragged myself to thin

We all need a moment in our lives

Works hard, the days too long

And that's just where it begins

Tension has had us all this time

I sit in traffic every single morning

Just as i arrive, i'm slaving to the grind

Making the money so i feed my family

But i can't raise them, 'cause i ain't got the time

I got no free days on my busy schedule

I turn the page and it's the same

Don't like my situation, you don't either

Don't wanna look back scared, i will get away

I need a moment 'cause i've dragged myself to thin

We all need a moment in our lives

Works hard, the days too long

And that's just where it begins

Tension has had us all this time

But every now and then

I drive alone

And over all

Hot summer days

A gentle breeze that feels alright

Home alone

And i can't feel the pain

Only strain

Enjoy the sights

I feel alive

When actually here just feels alright

Far from home

I need a moment 'cause i've dragged myself to thin

We all need a moment in our lives

Works hard, the days too long

And that's just where it begins

Tension has had us all this time
