Lyrics

The world is getting smaller
Yet life's still getting harder
"You know, son, you think too much"
Are my thoughts too scary to touch?

Here comes the pendulum's first swing
Beware the apathy sting
See only what you want to see
I know the song that you sing

Life, once a winding road
Now paved with stone cold forgotten souls
"Thinkin' like that, kid, will get you nowhere"
But I won't live ignorant nightmares
Remember wide open sky?
Who, what when, where, how, why
Traded in for flashing lights
Images for the propagandized

Here comes the pendulum's first swing
Beware the apathy sting
See only what you want to see
I know the song that you sing

They can't see your pain
Through the clouds and the pouring rain
Did you know they're after you?
What'll you do?
It's all the same

And they force you to ride the tide
And you don't question why
The oath they pledged to take
Continues to break
You know it's time
'Cause now they'll see your pain
No more clouds, no blinding rain
Now that you can see
Who you'll need to be
To break these chains

Another pendulum swing
Beware the apathy sting
See only what you want to see
I know the song that you sing
Here comes the pendulum's last swing
Beware the apathy sting
See only what you want to sing
I know the song that you scream

In from the water, out through the sky
