Avenged Sevenfold - Tension

I wake up every morning, bright and early.
Roll out of bed, but I'm never quite alone.
Tension is pulling me in all directions,
and I'll be done once you use me as a rope.
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
at any time I could explode.
I need some piece of mind, it's got me tired.
Don't wanna lose it, but I'm turning down that road.

I need a moment, 'cause I've spread myself to thin.
We all need a moment in our lives.
Work's hard, the days too long,
and that's just where it begins .
Tension has had us all this time.

I sit in traffic every single morning.
Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the grind.
Making the money so I feed my family,
but I can't raise them, 'cause I ain't got the time,
I got no free days on my busy schedule.
I turn the page and it's the same.
Don't like my situation, you don't either.
Don't wanna look back scared, I'll work it all away. I need a moment, 'cause I've spread myself to thin.
We all need a moment in our lives.
Work's hard, the days too long,
and that's just where it begins .
Tension has had us all this time.

But every now and then
I drive alone.
And over all.
Hot summer day,
a gentle breeze that feels alright.
Home alone,
and I can't feel no pain,
only strength.
Enjoy the sights,
I feel alive.
The action here just feels alright.
Far from home.

I need a moment, 'cause I've spread myself to thin.
We all need a moment in our lives.
Work's hard, the days too long,
and that's just where it begins .
Tension has had us all this time.
