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 gone once you use me as a rope.
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy,
at any time I could explode.
I need some peace 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 too thin.
We all need a moment in our lives.
Work's hard, the day's 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'ss the same.
Don't like my situation, you don't either.
Don't wanna look back scared, I will get away.
I need a moment 'cause I've spread
myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our lives.
Work's hard, the day's too long,
and that's just where it begins.
Tension has had us all this time.
But every now and then,
I drive alone, an open road.
Hot summer day,
a gentle breeze that feels alright.
All alone,
and I can't feel no pain,
only strain.
Enjoy the sights,
I feel alive.
Relaxing here just feels alright,
far from home.
I need a moment 'cause I've spread
myself too thin.
We all need a moment in our lives.
Work's hard, the day's too long,
and that's just where it begins.
Tension has had us all this time.
