lyrics

The pendulum arrives
Just as it tries
To grasp onto destination
In finding inner reformation
A wavering whisk goodbye
There is a cry
When it leaves as it arrived
Bound for endless repetition

The burden high
And I’ve lost it again
A pass in the wind
And it takes all my sins

The concept flat
But the world taken in
The lesson lost
And the destiny thin

The solemn sigh
Can be heard once again
Ceremoniously marking
A pass in the wind
Objections unfound
The course on rebound
Takes pride in the life
And the strife of indecision

The burden high
And I’ve lost it again
A pass in the wind
And it takes all my sins

The concept flat
But the world taken in
The lesson lost
And the destiny thin

I never thought to wake
My brain is a dangerous place
I used to wish that I could take
All the lights and blind myself
And my car was filled with snakes
I tried to go but they swallowed my keys
It’s hard to know if I’ll go straight
In the night I learn to see

The burden high
And I’ve lost it again
A pass in the wind
And it takes all my sins

The concept flat
But the world taken in
The lesson lost
And the destiny thin
