Pendulum Swings

Pressure is on

Te clock's ticking

Sweating bullets

The plot thickens

Nothing but a blank stare on my face

As another hour slips away

And the fuse slowly burns

I can't come to terms

That world won't stop for me

I try to keep up

I keep my feet on the ground

But can't make the world slow down

Too much to do

Not enough time

All the things that I can't

Just weigh on my mind

I can't control what's out of my hands

When I'm up against the grains of sand

Pendulum swings

Pendulum takes

Reaper come to whisk me away

Head first towards a brick wall

and I can't pump the brakes
