Avenged Sevenfold 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 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; 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 too thin.
We all need a moment in our life.
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’ve 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’m working life away.
I need a moment, cause I’ve spread myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our life.
Works all 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,
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 I’ve spread myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our life.
Works all the days too long, and that’s just where it begins.
Tension has had us all this time.
