A Tension of Souls

I have lost the unobtainable I am faithless and afraid My emotions are unstable control is hanging by a thread And the misery of the world Is weighing heavy on my shoulders My belief has not unfurled and I'm not getting any older No I'm not getting any older and the world is turning colder there's a gathering storm eating up the night There's a tension of souls can you feel it bite? It is because we're not living on our own terms Swept on a wave branded with society's burns We're not happy with this unnatural law We've moved into check into a corner of flames Half of us staled in a late mating game We're just trying just crying for the right to give / fail / fall / live / have feelings The right to see / be / need / feed / give meanings The right to love / care / share / sow / show the right signals The right to fight / spite / do / lose / find the right answers I am nailed to the cross of my own pernicious anguish Collapsing at a loss into some kind of selfish languish Bribed by irresistible strangled by the air Blind and still equivocal dispossessed by heir I have no faith I have no unbelief There is no neutral ground there is no relief I didn't get what I expected to receive Don't let them tell you what they want you to believe and I'm searching for some space in my life While people all around me multiplying just like flies The whispering millions, their hunger it is loud A silent frustration breeds in every crowd I have no faith I have no unbelief There is no neutral ground there is no relief I didn't get what I expected to receive Don't let them tell you what they want you to believe and I'm drowning in a sea of my own futility --- A Tension of Souls - Threshold
