Tension
Canciones de 10,000 Maniacs

Frail hinges pivot On a case's door Commemorative Souvenirs from places Containers change with occasion Cellophane encased Displaying paper Certificate 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 will list your friends In order of disappearance Lawn scattered tins feed birds The portion baked For absent guests 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 never penetrates The servile edges break and faint A thought mistaken for a memory Clear the dust From smiles in boxes Pass the patterned wall Recall their voices.
