Birth of Tension Songtext
von Overkill

You are killin′ me
Mouth is movin' but I cannot hear you speak
Life′s a tragedy
Go on livin' in a world not for the weak
Keep your dreams inside your heart
Never let the pressure tear you apart
Truth is whispered on a breath
Loud enough to cover the smell of death

Never thought too important to mention
Livin' with the birth, the birth of tension
Never thought too important to mention
Livin′ with the tension, tension, tension


Don′t you understand
Too much tension, snap
Then you lose your grip
Too many demands
Start at birth, snap
From the womb you're ripped
Leave your dreams inside behind
Never had a reason that you′ll never find
Tension builds another way
Gonna make you all go away

Never thought too important to mention
Livin' with the birth, the birth of tension
Never thought too important to mention
Livin′ with the tension, tension, tension

Too much tension, all around
Too much tension, bring you down
All the pressures in the narrow mind
All the reasons you'll never find
Did you kill your father
Sleep with your mother
Idolize your sister
Were you jealous of your brother
Did ya kick the dog
Were you beat a strap
Were you really be abused
Were you fakin′ all that
Too tense


You are killin' me
Many ways so little time to think
Life's catastrophe
Glass empty and I really need a drink
Movin′ all so very quick
Movin′ so fast that its gets me sick
Let me outta here
Livin' ain′t livin' with the tension and the fear

Never thought too important to mention
Livin′ with the birth, the birth of tension
Never thought too important to mention
Livin' with the tension, tension, tension
