Tension Streets

Static humming

in the overhead wire

We are walking through the winter cold

Writing codes on a forgotten wall Trading secrets that were never told

We don't need the bells to ring We don't need the perfect

sound When we can hear the floorboards shake And feel the weight

of solid ground

Broken plastic on the concrete floor Counting minutes as the hours slide

Keeping tempo with a heavy heel There is nowhere left for us

to hide

We don't need the bells to ring

We don't need the perfect sound

When we can hear the floorboards shake And feel the weight of

solid ground

We trace the wires to the source

And find the lines are glowing hot We're standing in the quiet

space With everything that we forgot

We don't need the bells to ring

We don't need the perfect sound

When we can hear the floorboards shake And feel the weight of

solid ground

Nothing but the simple sound we chose to make Running on the

heat of our own fire We leave it all behind us now
