PENDULUM
I've been holding on...
To a fantasy
To a dream
I've been writing songs...
That include
Both you and me
I've been holding on...
To my own perceived
Reality
I've been righting wrongs...
And addressing everyone
Everything but you and me
I'm so tired of putting work in...
Putting time into things that disintegrate
I know you see me waiting
While my smile is fading but it will be too late
I feel it and I know...
But you can't see what I don't show
Sure, you tried to read my mind
But maybe you were wrong this time
Believing that I'd hang on...
Like I always have like I always do
However, the man you see now
Might not be the same man that you knew
As one face of mine hides the pain and the lies
The other sits and waits trying to decide
On which side of the fence to sit on...
Another face grins and smiles
About how you said you'd walk for miles and miles
But when I looked behind you were gone...
Yes I hear two voices in my ear
Half the time I want to save the world
The rest of the time I just wanna disappear
Like a pendulum swinging back and forth
Like a husband saying, "I love you!"
And then asking for a divorce
I see two faces in the mirror
A man who hides from his own shadow
And a man who conquers his own worst fear
