Tension Lyrics

Frail hinges pivot on
A cases door, commemorative
Souvenirs from places
Containers change, each occasion

Cellophane encased
Displaying paper certificate
The credit years of service
A tool of central enterprises

The early hope for permanence
The words the rings, consistency
And social security
The miracles, high tragedy

A thought mistaken for a memory
Dress lengths, assassinations
Fractured family ties
And christenings

Local posts they list your friends
In order, disappearance
Lawn scattered tins, feed birds
The portion baked for absent guests10,000 Maniacs - Tension - http://motolyrics.com/10000-maniacs/tension-lyrics.html

And the mass edition icon
God sent comfort, your salvation
But who grants absolution
For sins that never were committed?

Tension makes a tangle of
Each thought becomes inconvenience
Sound doesn't ever penetrate
As servile edges break and faint

A thought mistaken for a memory
Clear the dust from smiles in boxes
Cross a patterned wall
Recall the voices

A thought mistaken for a memory
Dress lengths, assassinations
Fractured family ties
And christenings and christenings
All fractured family ties
And christenings

And christenings
