Life in Tension

Look me in the eyes, I am no one's fool

Victim of nothing, prey to no one, cut the noose

There's an escape route

But I'm not gonna take it, I won't let it win

Our saviour's in our heads

It's in our hands but we burn the candle at both ends

Two fingers to the world

Fuck your life of suffering, I've got nothing to prove

They say, "The best way out is always through"

Walk the rope, walk the rope

From everything to nothing

Hope you know, hope you know

This music is our therapy

A song for those who never give up

And walk the rope, walk the rope

We will overcome

Cornered by a life in tension, take my hand we will overcome

Living out a life in tension, cure us of the pain

Realise we're all afraid, real life is not for me

I'll die singing, "Dreamers, we live the nightmare"

This crisis all inclusive, survive on poor excuses

You'll get out what you give in

There's an escape route

But I'm not gonna take it, I won't let it win

Do you feel like the rain is following you?

Don't be the prey, don't be the praying hands

Don't be the prejudice of a life we're yet to live

Walk the rope, walk the rope

From everything to nothing

Hope you know, hope you know

This music is our therapy

A song for those who never give up

Until we're ashes or dust we'll still be singing

Walk the rope, walk the rope

From everything to nothing

Hope you know, hope you know

This music is our therapy

A song for those who never give up

And walk the rope, walk the rope

We will overcome
