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 happen

Our saviours 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 out of the pain
Realize 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 happen
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
We will overcome
We will overcome
