So calm, like velvet
Like wire, so taut
So stretched, like steel
The surface is rippling
And straining and cracking
From within
Like a bomb just ticking
And waiting like hours
And hours keep folding
And winding and stretching
And deep down inside
The foundations are tearing apart
And the holes are all gaping
Swallowing everything
Please take me out of this dream
Tension
Nightmares like circles
Of lies all hidden
Seething and smouldering
Under the covers
No fire, no passion
But uneasy silence
And peace
In terror I'm waiting
For the one great explosion
Please take me out of this dream
Tension
Like a desert, so smooth So calm, like velvet Like wire, so taut So stretched, like steel The surface is rippling And straining and cracking From within Like a bomb just ticking And waiting like hours And hours keep folding And winding and stretching And deep down inside The foundations are tearing apart And the holes are all gaping Swallowing everything Please take me out of this dream Tension Nightmares like circles Of lies all hidden Seething and smouldering Under the covers No fire, no passion But uneasy silence And peace In terror I'm waiting For the one great explosion Please take me out of this dream Tension Explain Request ×
