Pendulum

(album: Unlovely - 2020)

Sober with sleeplessness
Or drunk upon the mist I kiss
Do I dare to simmer while the water boils over

Bursting at the seams
These stubborn dreams befall their feeble sea legs
Like trying to take it easy on an ancient roller coaster

While it's begging me to wait
I just don't have the patience
Some tangible escape
No clock can bear allegiance

Bolder than these woes
A house of poems keeps us locked and loaded
Courage cringes bitter and it comes out in a whisper

But I am breathing air you're breathing out
Your mouth is always quicker
I'll come to watch my hours
Burning faster than the liquor
It slips right through my fingers
It slips right through my fingers

While it's begging me to wait
I just don't have the patience
Some tangible escape
No clock can bear allegiance

What do I find?
Time doesn't really care about me

Don't thrust these days to their nights too soon
Don't thrust these days to their nights too soon
Don't thrust these days to their nights too soon
Say it twice
Give it room
Give it room
