Tension Lyrics - Avenged Sevenfold

1 I wake up every morning, bright and early

2 Roll out of bed but I'm never quite alone

3 Tension is pulling me in all directions

4 And all of these problems use me as their own

5 Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy

6 At any time I could explode

7 I need some peace of mind, it's got me tired

8 Don't wanna lose it, but I'm turning down that road

9 I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself to thin

10 We all need a moment in our life

11 Works hard, the days too long

12 And that's just where it begins

13 Tension has had us all this time

14 I sit in traffic every single morning

15 Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the grind

16 Making the money so I feed my family

17 But I can't raise them, 'cause I ain't got the time

18 I got no free days on my busy schedule

19 I turn the page and it's the same

20 Don't like my situation, you don't either

21 Don't wanna look back scared, I'm working life away

22 I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself to thin

23 We all need a moment in our life

24 Works hard, the days too long

25 And that's just where it begins

26 Tension has had us all this time

27 But every now and then

28 I drive alone

29 An open road

30 Hot summer days

31 A gentle breeze that feels alright

32 Home alone

33 And I can't feel the pain

34 Only strength

35 Enjoy the sights

36 I feel alive

37 When actually here just feels alright

38 Far from home

39 I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself to thin

40 We all need a moment in our life

41 Works hard, the days too long

42 And that's just where it begins

43 Tension has had us all this time
