[Lyrics for Avenged Sevenfold – Tension]
I wake up every morning bright and early
Roll out of bed, but Im never quite alone.
Tension is pulling me in all directions.
And all these problems use me as a road.
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy.
At anytime I could explode.
I need some piece of mind; its got me tired.
Dont wanna lose it, but Im turning down that road.
I need a moment, cause Ive spread myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our life.
Works hard, the days too long.
And thats just where it begins.
Tension has had us all this time.
I sit in traffic every single morning.
Just as I arrive Im slaving to the grind.
Making the money so I feed my family,
But I cant raise them, cause I aint got the time.
Ive got no free days on my busy schedule,
I turn the page and its the same.
Dont like my situation, you dont either.
Dont wanna look back scared.
Im working life away.
I need a moment, cause Ive spread myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our life.
Works all the days too long, and thats just where it begins.
Tension has had us all this time.
But every now and then, I drive alone,
An open road, hot summer day,
A gentle breeze that feels alright.
All alone,
And I can feel no pain, only strain.
Enjoy the sights, I feel alive.
Relaxing here just feels alright,
Far from home.
I need a moment, cause Ive spread myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our life.
Works all the days too long, and thats just where it begins.
Tension has had us all this time.
