Tension

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 spread 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 spread 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 spread 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
