Life In 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.
Look me in the eyes, I am no one's fool
Victim of nothing, prey to no one, cut the noose
There's an escape route but I'm not
Gonna take it I won't let it happen
Our saviours in our heads
It's in our hands but we burn the candle at both ends
Two fingers to the world
Fuck your life of suffering, I've got nothing to prove
They say 'the best way out is always through'
Walk the rope, walk the rope, from everything to nothing
Hope you know, hope you know, this music is our therapy
A song for those who never give up
And walk the rope, walk the rope
We will overcome
Cornered by a life in tension
Take my hand we will overcome
Living out a life in tension, cure out of the pain
Realize we're all afraid, real life is not for me
I'll die singing; dreamers we live the nightmare
This crisis all inclusive, survive on poor excuses
You'll get out what you give in
There's an escape route but I'm
Not gonna take it I won't let it happen
Do you feel like the rain is following you?
Don't be the prey, don't be the praying hands
Don't be the prejudice of a life we're yet to live
Walk the rope, walk the rope, from everything to nothing
Hope you know, hope you know, this music is our therapy
A song for those who never give up
Until we're ashes or dust
We'll still be singing
Walk the rope, walk the rope
From everything to nothing
Hope you know, hope you know
This music is our therapy
A song for those who never give up
And walk the rope, walk the rope
We will overcome
