Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The Pendulum swings in my door
Clocks got teeth on the floor
Can't run fast, can't run far
It knows my name, knows my scars
Right before your face
It pulls me back in place
My keys gone missing, my shirt goes cold
Same old shadow, never old
[Pre-Chorus]
And it leans in slow
With that crooked glow
I can hear it breathe
Through the TV snow
[Chorus]
The Pendulum, the Pendulum
Can't run, can't hide
The Pendulum, the Pendulum
Finds my things inside
Right before your face
Right before your face
The Pendulum, the Pendulum
It calls my name
[Verse 2]
Found my watch in the sugar tin
Found my ring where the nails live in
Found my luck in a cracked blue bowl
Found my heart in a payphone hole
Eerie overtones in the hall
Blues on the ceiling, blues on the wall
I swear it grins when the power fades
And counts my breath with a rusted blade
[Pre-Chorus]
And it leans in slow
With that crooked glow
I can hear it breathe
Through the TV snow
[Chorus]
The Pendulum, the Pendulum
Can't run, can't hide
The Pendulum, the Pendulum
Finds my things inside
Right before your face
Right before your face
The Pendulum, the Pendulum
It calls my name
[Bridge]
I tried the back steps
I tried the rain
I tried every bad little prayer
Same black swing
Same hard stare
It was already there
[Final Chorus]
The Pendulum, the Pendulum
Can't run, can't hide
The Pendulum, the Pendulum
Finds my things inside
Right before your face
Right before your face
The Pendulum, the Pendulum
It calls my name
