Orang Mann - Present Tension

I'm under attack
The past comes back to bite me, the future gnawing it's teeth
Will you cut me some slack?
All of this pressure's freezing me into dissonance
And this pain in my back
Is really quite concerning, can't keep it straight no more
Along with the fact
I'm coming up to reach a crossroad without a map

This world is on fire
My house has been reduced to rubble
This is quite dire
When I walk I always stumble
Pacifist liar
Are you living in another world, I know what I see here
I know with certainty I'm in a fit mindset

Fit mindset
And how I see in
The present tense
The present tense
The present's tense

So let's start facing now
Where can I go when there's nowhere with solid ground?
I'll build me a bridge
So people can cross over into my sacred land
But what if, what if
Nobody comes and I just end up looking like a bitch?
And what if it sinks?
What if they come over and fuck up all of my shit?

In sublimination
I let myself rot and decay
And live for no reason
I wake up to go sleep again
So in ten years then
I'll be facing the same old thing
And I'll be looking down
On my old self but who cares cause in present tense

Present tense
The present's tense
I live on the fence
I live on the fence
In self defence
