This track was originally written for a songwriting contest, which had the theme "tension". A few years later in the studio, the song turned out to become even more thrilling than the original, acoustic, version.
lyrics
Tension
Looking, seeing
Watching, feeling
What am I doing here?
What are you looking at?
Don't know what to do
Waiting for that moment to come
Trying, being
Thinking, dreaming
Dreaming of what has come
Thinking of what to do
Knowing that it has been done
Nothing you can really do
I feel all the pressure
I feel like in trance
I feel all the tension
Can't stand all the stress
Seeing, knowing
Touching, screaming
Now I see what he's done
I don't know just what to do
I can not believe
I hate what he did to you
He made you cry
He made you die
Why, why
How could he make you die
How could he make you die
I couldn't even say goodbye...
