Pendulum Swings

Pressure is on
 The 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 the world won't stop for me
 I try to keep up
 I keep my feet to 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
 I try to keep up
 I keep my feet to the ground
 But can't make the world slow down
 Pendulum swings
 Pendulum takes
 Reaper come to whisk me away
