Lyrics

Tension Is a Passing Note

Do I murder when I forget you from afar

Too drunk on the poison of endless roads

And the countless smokey bars

But tension is to be loved

When it is like a passing note

To a beautiful, beautiful chord

Do I murder us putting pavement in my veins

Shooting in that special heroin

For the seeking and displaced

But tension is to be loved

When it is like a passing note

To a beautiful, beautiful chord
