about

"Pendulum" was written for one of Gayle Skidmore's closest friends, who wrestled with overcoming a traumatic past. It's earnest lyrics are supported by energetic piano and a YC-30 keyboard.

lyrics

My mind's collapsing on itself
Confusing life for something else
And, like a pendulum, escapes
And is drawn back to what it hates

Fade
Let's pray this goes away
Never to come back again
Fade
Let's pray this goes away
Never to come back again

I climbed a terraces road through hell
Only to find I lost myself
And I just cannot bring my mind
To climb again, my self to find

Fade
Let's pray this goes away
Never to come back again
Fade
Let's pray this goes away
Never to come back again

Fade, fade
Back to whence it came
And never come back

Fade
Let's pray this goes away
Never to come back again
Fade
Let's pray this goes away
Never to come back again
