"To step back for a second from all the pressures around you, the crushing industrial landscapes that may swallow us all, & find that moment of tranquil light lying idle on the other side."

lyrics
Always Tense
Just want to put my head down
Take a rest
I was hoping for us to have
a little more perspective
I'm giving every piece of me
to be a bit accepted
In return I got to have
In return I got to have...
All these rules of living
keep me off my feet
Theories we're given
turn me in too deep
My will to save our souls
was a bit redundant
Everyday is like a dream
only black from sadness
In return I got to have
In return I got to have...
All these rules of living
keep me off my feet
Theories we're given
turn me in too deep
Reality is a blessing, the flow is my essence
Counting all the numbers but outnumbered
by the facts of mortality
losing to brutality
caught between an empty space
They got me tense in my body
just as tense in my head
brush it off the side & keep doing what I did
They got me tense in my body
tense in my head
Brush it off the side
Keep doing what I did
All these rules of living
keep me off my feet
Theories we're given
turn me in too deep
