Tension Makes A Tangle

Lyrics
[Verse 1] As frail hinges pivot on a case's door Commemorative souvenirs from places Containers change with each occasion A cellophane encased display of paper Certificate to credit years of service A tool of central enterprises The early hope for permanence The words, the rings, consistency The social security A miracle is high tragedy [Bridge] Thought mistaken for a memory Clear the dust from smiles in boxes Pass a patterned wall Recall their voices [Verse 2] A local post will list your friends In order of disappearance The lawn scattered, tins feed birds A portion baked for absent guests And the mass edition icon God sent comfort, your salvation But who grants absolution For sins that never were committed [Bridge] Tension makes a tangle of Each thought becomes an inconvenience Sound as it never penetrates As servile edges break and feint, oh [Chorus] Thought mistaken for a memory A dress length, assassination A fractured family tie, another christening A christening A fractured family tie and another christening Christening Christening [Instrumental] [Chorus] Thought mistaken for a memory A dress length, assassination A fractured family tie, another christening A christening A fractured family tie and another christening Christening Christening Christening
