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.
I'm not angry, I'm just frustrated.
What your hearing is my cynic grin
I don't know what cracks or snaps but
this attack is part of my relaxing.
As I seethe my words seem understated.
What you're hearing is my tearing skin
I don't care what brittle fractures crack if I can
black out and relax.
When I speak my tongue it feels sedated.
My temper tantrum balance is
I don't know what fuzz is masking
what I say or what I'm asking
all I want to do is to relax.
