Tension

Tell all the people

What they want to hear

They're not sentimental,

They just disappear

Tally the vetoes,

Too many to see

They are not complacent

They just disagree

Tension

Try so hard for their attention

Tension

Make me forget I had a question

An eternity is slipping away

I'm not immune to the conversation

And though the irony is

Pleasing to see

It seems lost on the population

I'm not easy to please, but I like what I see

I'm addicted to the isolation

The shape of everything

Dissolves before me

Can't help but laugh at the situation

Tell all the wasters

To ration their cries

There's nobody calling,

So many replies

Tally the cheaters,

So many it's sad

They're so very anxious

To jump on my back

An eternity is slipping away

I'm not immune to the conversation

And though the irony is

Pleasing to see

It seems lost on the population

I'm not easy to please, but I like what I see

I'm addicted to the isolation

The shape of everything

Dissolves before me

Can't help but laugh at the situation

Tension

Try so hard for their attention

Tension

Make me forget I had a question

Do I have to ask?

An eternity is slipping away

I'm not immune to the conversation

And though the irony is

Pleasing to see

It seems lost on the population

I'm not easy to please, but I like what I see

I'm addicted to the isolation

The shape of everything

Dissolves before me

Can't help but laugh at the situation
