This song is about those things and people in life that you just can't seem to make yourself get rid of. They're stuck to and that's right where you like em.

lyrics

Chorus:
We have built up so much God Damn tension
And I believe we need to loosen…..up
And so I try but from your hold I can’t refrain,
It's time for me to forget about you.

Verse:
Like an addiction, you have bored into my skull
you are a cigarette, I am a hand with no control
I try so hard to put you to the side,
but I react to my impulse and by your ways I still abide.

Chorus:
We have built up so much God Damn tension
And I believe we need to loosen…..up
And so I try but from your hold I can’t refrain,
It's time for me to forget about you.

Verse:
I can try hard to quit you today
But what’s the use of the effort we all know i'm gonna stay
You have poisoned my body, my soul and my mind
To your ways I may forever be inclined.

Chorus:
We have built up so much God Damn tension
And I believe we need to loosen…..up
And so I try but from your hold I can’t refrain,
Our body’s fit together, like a needle on a vein

Bridge Breakdown (Instrumental)

Verse:
these smoke filled lungs are here to stay,
Even though they slowly kill me day by day,
you have left me with this chronic sense of doubt,
Because this addiction is here and I may never get it out.

Chorus:
We have built up so much God Damn tension
And I believe we need to loosen…..up
And so I try but from your hold I can’t refrain,
It's time for me to forget about you,
It's time for me to forget about you....
