Lyrics
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.
Sitting in my armchair thinking again and again and again
Going round in a circle i can't get out
Then i look around thinking day and night and day
Then you look around - there must be some explanation
And the tension builds
Take advantage - let nothing be fantasy
How do you grow as you stunt your growth?
Nothing you say makes sense anymore
Then you look around - there must be some explanation
And the tension builds
Sitting in my armchair thinking again and again and again
Going round in a circle we can't get out
Then i look around thinking day and night and day
Then you look around - there's nothing left to say
And the tension builds
