Birth of Tension

You are killin' me

Mouth is movin' but I cannot hear you speak

Life's a tragedy

Go on livin' in a world not for the weak

Keep your dreams inside your heart

Never let the pressure tear you apart

Truth is whispered on a breath

Loud enough to cover the smell of death

Never thought too important to mention

Livin' with the birth, the birth of tension

Never thought too important to mention

Livin' with the tension, tension, tension

Don't you understand

Too much tension, snap

Then you lose your grip

Too many demands

Start at birth, snap

From the womb you're ripped

Leave your dreams inside behind

Never had a reason that you'll never find

Tension builds another way

Gonna make you all go away

Never thought too important to mention

Livin' with the birth, the birth of tension

Never thought too important to mention

Livin' with the tension, tension, tension

Too much tension, all around

Too much tension, bring you down

All the pressures in the narrow mind

All the reasons you'll never find

Did you kill your father

Sleep with your mother

Idolize your sister

Were you jealous of your brother

Did ya kick the dog

Were you beat a strap

Were you really be abused

Were you fakin' all that

Too tense

You are killin' me

Many ways so little time to think

Life's catastrophe

Glass empty and I really need a drink

Movin' all so very quick

Movin' so fast that its gets me sick

Let me outta here

Livin' ain't livin' with the tension and the fear

Never thought too important to mention

Livin' with the birth, the birth of tension

Never thought too important to mention

Livin' with the tension, tension, tension
