Pendulum

[Verse 1]
The vampires come at four in the morning
Out for blood with their spotlight on me
Think about dying but it sounds too lonely
Think about you in a lucid dream
Do your best to go out in your sleep
Beg for compassion
While some preacher calls you dangerous

[Chorus]
But you love who you love
I melt when you walk in the room
And we want what we want
But we can't sort it out
Everything in its place
My sentimental heartache
Wait for that pendulum to go

[Post-Chorus]
But I know what they say when I walk in the light
There's no joy in my life
There's no joy when I'm right
I know what they say when I walk in the light
Thеre's no joy

[Verse 2]
My mind starts to glitch at the same timе each day
Find me passed out on the parquet
I'm changing in a visceral way
Hold onto your hand as the waves start to rise
Think about how our father's tried
And tried and tried and tried
To give us a better life

[Chorus]
It's so hard to love
When you're dying in an empty room
We won't get what we want
'Cause we can't sort it out
Everything in its place
My sentimental heartache
Waiting for the sun to explode

[Post-Chorus]
But I know what they say when I walk in the light
There's no joy in my life
There's no joy when I'm right
I know what they say when I walk in the light
There's no joy

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
It's so hard to love
I melt when you walk in the room
We might get what we want
But what good will that do?
Everything in its place
My sentimental heartache
Waiting for the sun to explode
Still waiting for that pendulum to go

[Post-Chorus]
But I know what they say when I walk in the light
There's no joy in my life
There's no joy when I'm right
I know what they say when I walk in the light
There's no joy
