Pressure is on The clock's ticking Sweating bullets The plot thickens Nothing but a blank stare on my face As another hour slips away And the fuse slowly burns I can't come to terms That the world won't stop for me I try to keep up I keep my feet to the ground But can't make the world slow down Too much to do Not enough time All the things that I can't Just weigh on my mind I can't control what's out of my hands When I'm up against the grains of sand Pendulum swings Pendulum takes Reaper come to whisk me away Head first towards a brick wall And I can't pump the brakes I try to keep up I keep my feet to the ground But can't make the world slow down Pendulum swings Pendulum takes Reaper come to whisk me away
