Artist/Band: 10,000 Maniacs
Lyrics for Song: Tension
Lyrics for Album: Campfire Songs: The Popular, Obscure & Unknown Recordings [2004]



frail hinges pivot

on a cases door

commemorative

souvenirs from places

containers change

with each 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 lenghts

assassinations

fractured family ties

christenings



local posts they

list your friends

in order of

disappearance

lawn scattered tins

feed birds the

portion baked for

absent guests



mass edition icon

god sent comfort is

your salvation

but who grants

absolution for sins

that never were committed



tension

makes a tangle

of each thought becomes

inconvenience

sound never penetrate

as servile edges

break and faint



a thought mistaken

for a memory

clear the dust from

smiles in boxes

cross a patterned floor

recall the voices
