[Verse 1]
Cutting off the circulation, I feel everything at once
Thoughts, they never stop when they're unsaid, so l I throw 'em up
Disassociating 'til this body's growing numb
I've become addicted to the burning in my lungs
[Chorus]
Tension and release
Bleed it outta me
Pressure's what I need to feed
Push me to the edge
Watch me bend and I'll break again
Build a whole world and I'll burn it down in a breath
Come unravel me
Tension, tension
Release
[Verse 2]
Scratching at the surface and I'm trying to make a spark
They tell me to hold the light, I see better in the dark
Killing all my feelings in this void, an empty heart
Give me just a moment while I sell myself for parts
[Chorus]
Tension and release
Bleed it outta me
Pressure's what I need to feed
Push me to the edge
Watch me bend and I'll break again
Build a whole world and I'll burn it down in a breath
Come unravel me
Tension, tension
Release
Release
[Bridge]
Tension, release
Through waves of grief
You live in me
A fading memory
[Chorus]
Push me to the edge
Watch me bend and I'll break again
Build a whole world and I'll burn it down in a breath
Come unravel me
Tension, tension
Release
[Outro]
Tension and release
Bleed it outta me
Pressure's what I need
Tension and release
Bleed it outta me (Tension, tension)
Tension, tension (Release)

I love that this one closes it all. It adds even more depth to a very high-energy EP. We recorded this one with our friends Mark Jackson and Ian Scott, and most of the track and the vocal performance is from that one day. There was something special in the feeling of it that I knew we couldn’t recre...
