Lyrics
Fragile Tension
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever
But always is flowing
It's something magical in the air
Something so tragic we have to care
There's a strange obsession
It's drawing us nearer
We don't understand it
It never gets clearer
It's something mystical in our dreams
It's so simplistic it kicks and screams
Oh well, we'll seem to reek
On the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down
There's a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying
Through glittering gauntlet
Without even trying
It's something radical in our hands
But nothing logical to our plans
