Sebadoh Beauty of the Ride Lyrics

Never did and never will
It's just the way it's always been
I've made mistakes before, I'll make the same again
And all this tension we ignore surely works its ugly way inside
I have known that nothing's fair, surely what did I expect?
When magic slips into the air and every day's another test
And all this tension we ignore, it surely works its ugly way outside
So let it build, let it explode
Leaving blood and shattered bone
Or bite your tongue 'til you've forgotten what to say
And take another step back, until you find you've walked away
Silence like disease, but I dare not say it hurts
'Cuz if I honestly react, nothing's ever gonna work
All this tension back and forth
It's just the beauty of the ride
It's just the beauty of the ride
So let it build, let it explode
Leaving blood and shattered bone
Or bite your tongue 'til you've forgotten what to say
And take another step back, until you find you've walked away
