Pendulum (V)

I just want to know if this is worth my time
These seconds mean too much for me to leave them behind
It ain't easy being sober in this life we've chose'
Vices swing like diamonds on a pendulum

I know it takes a lot to break me outta my shell
I only speak from the heart and I don't speak too well
Trust me when I tell you you can't right my wrongs
Take or leave it baby cause I'll be long gone

And though I waste my time
In the morning light
Take it easy when it's over yeah it's all said and done
Cause vices swing like diamonds on a pendulum

Morning meditations 'stead of out 'til last call
The grip beneath my tired eyes won't help me to evolve
And all I want is to surrender to the stillness of the now
But I'll take it to my grave as I run it in the ground

Swinging 'round and 'round on this shiny metal ball
I packed a tin and wondered 'bout this slippery slope I fall
And to hell with inhibitions I'll just stick to what I know
These two lines keep me straighter than a broken arrow's bow

And though I waste my time
In the morning light
Take it easy when it's over yeah it's all said and done
Cause vices swing like diamonds on a pendulum

When the courage starts to show my fear
And the current takes you away from here
With the current state of our affairs make 'em
Take me away from you cause I'm
Too close to losin' you

When the courage starts to show my tears
And the current takes you away from here
With the current state of our affairs make 'em
Take me away from you cause I'm
Too close to losin' you yeah I'm
Too close to losin' you cause I'm
Too close to losin' you

No I won't waste my time
In the morning light
'N' take it easy when it's over yeah it's all said and done
Cause vices swing like diamonds on a pendulum
