Avenged Sevenfold - Tension [Official Audio]

[00:23.32] I wake up every morning, bright and early

[00:26.32] Roll out of bed but I'm never quite alone

[00:30.10] Tension is pulling me in all directions

[00:32.32] And I'll be done once you use me as a rope

[00:36.33] Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy

[00:38.35] At any time I could explode

[00:42.07] I need some piece of mind, it's got me tired

[00:44.30] Don't wanna lose it, but I'm turning down that road

[00:48.11] I need a moment cause I've spread myself to thin

[00:54.57] We all need a moment in our lives

[01:00.08] Works hard, the days too long

[01:04.57] And that's just where it begins

[01:08.84] Tension has had us all this time

[01:15.85] I sit in traffic every single morning

[01:17.85] Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the grind

[01:21.57] Making the money so I feed my family

[01:23.57] But I can't raise them, 'cause I ain't got the time

[01:27.34] I got no free days on my busy schedule

[01:29.83] I turn the page and it's the same

[01:33.33] Don't like my situation, you don't either

[01:36.07] Don't wanna look back scared, I will get away

[01:39.59] I need a moment cause I've spread myself to thin

[01:46.07] We all need a moment in our lives

[01:52.32] Works hard, the days too long

[01:55.83] And that's just where it begins

[02:00.08] Tension has had us all this time

[02:20.83] But every now and then

[02:26.32] I drive alone

[02:33.07] And over all

[02:34.08] Hot summer days

[02:35.84] A gentle breeze that feels alright

[02:41.33] Home alone

[02:44.57] And I can't feel the pain

[02:48.57] Only strain

[02:51.61] Enjoy the sights

[02:55.35] I feel alive

[02:58.07] When actually here just feels alright

[03:03.59] Far from home

[03:37.09] I need a moment cause I've spread myself to thin

[03:44.58] We all need a moment in our lives

[03:51.34] Works hard, the days too long

[03:54.07] And that's just where it begins

[03:58.32] Tension has had us all this time
