The Pendulum Ribcage

Intro

Oh

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Clock hands crawling

A thousand miles in every ticking second

Copper tastes like old rain

Ancient water falling down

Pre-Chorus

The pendulum slows

The pendulum halts

The pendulum swings through my ribcage

Chorus

Wait for the sound to fade

Wait for the sound

The silence is loud and blue

Everything cycles again

Everything cycles

Verse 2

Dusty glass

Sunlight splitting into seven serrated knives

Held my breath

Counting backward from zero till I was gone

Pre-Chorus

The pendulum slows

The pendulum halts

The pendulum swings through my ribcage

Chorus

Wait for the sound to fade

Wait for the sound

The silence is loud and blue

Everything cycles again

Everything cycles

Bridge

Time won't fix

Time won't heal

Time won't matter when the walls begin to melt

Sinking lower than the roots

Crying out

Crying out

Chorus

Wait for the sound to fade

Wait for the sound

The silence is loud and blue

Everything cycles again

Everything cycles

Hook

Back and forth

Back and forth

High then low

High then low
