Birth of Tension

You are killing me Mouth is moving But I cannot hear you speak Life's a tragedy, go on living 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 Living through the birth The birth of tension Never thought too important to mention Living with the tension, tension, tension Don't you understand? Too much tension Snap when 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 Living through the birth The birth of tension Never thought too important to mention Living with the tension, tension, tension Too much tension all around Too much tension, bringing 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? Idolise your sister? Were you jealous of your brother? Did you kick the dog? Were you beat with a strap Were you really abused? Were you faking all that too tense? You are killing me Many ways, so little time to think Life's catastrophe Glass is empty and I really need a drink Moving all so very quick Moving so fast that it gets me sick Let me out of here Living ain't living With the tension and the fear Never thought too important to mention Living through the birth The birth of tension Never thought too important to mention Living with the tension, tension, tension
