Fragile Tension

There's a fragile tension

That's keeping us going.

It may not last forever

But oh when it's flowing



There's something magical in the air

Something so tragic we have to care



There's a strange obsession

That's drawing us nearer.

We don't understand it

It never gets clearer



There's something mystical in our genes

So simplistic it kicks and screams



Oh when we're teetering

On the edge of collapse

Noting can keep us down



There's a dizzying feeling

That's keeping us flying

Through glittering galas

Without even trying



There's something radical in our hands

Nothing logical to our plans
