Pendulum

A hot stone for divination
Keep it on the mantle
Where there's nothing to burn

From your future plans
Simple patterns hemmed in common sense
Too pretty to reprimand or comprehend

Every night I dream of you
Much like a vacation I long to return to
Living out my days a fool

Holding the pendulum
Until my hands go numb
Watching the pendulum
Long after the day is done
Shaking the pendulum
Answering to no one
Handling the pendulum
Watching the pendulum

I ask for a moment to be mine
You rush into the black and holy night

The vine grabs at my strings
It complicates the melody
A hand pulls at your wings
It's a bitter, familiar feeling

Every night I dream of you
No negotiating the bed I return to
I have made a cage of this room

Holding the pendulum
Until my hands go numb
Watching the pendulum
Long after the day is done
Shaking the pendulum
Answering to no one
Handling the pendulum
Watching the pendulum
