Pendulum

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

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

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

My mind starts to glitch at the same time 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 fathers tried

And tried and tried and tried

To give us a better life

It's so hard to love

When you die 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

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

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

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
