Lyrics
Tension Is a Passing Note
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.
Do I murder when I forget you from afar?
Too drunk on the poison of endless roads
And the countless smoky 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 it in, 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
