1.	Into the Blue 03:25	lyrics	buy track
I’m here, where you thought I be. Floating on the sea. My lungs anchor me on the surface line. Every wish I blew, I threw up in the air and clouds blew them by! Now I can be brave, who knew that I could be brave like you? All my intentions fade into the blue. Into the blue, sunshine grips my limbs on his fishing hook. I tried to be light, but I outgrew larger than my width, larger than my height. My lungs let me climb. Now I can be brave, who knew that I could be brave like you? All my intentions fade into the blue. I’m here, where you’d thought I’d be. Floating on the sea. My lungs anchor me on the surface line. Every wish I blew, I threw up in the air and clouds bled them dry! Now I can be brave, who knew that I could be brave like you? All my intentions fade into the blue. Now I can erase my size, I can release my ties, no longer part of me, A taste of the sky but not quite free

4.	Plateau 04:19	lyrics	buy track
Always going out Always coming home Rushing to and from Never on my own Like to see the sun Rise and set sometimes Every day’s the same Losing track of time Knee deep in the pool of narcissus To loathe nothing more than this abyss No joy No pain Just drive and drive and drive and drive No peaks No falls Just drive and drive and drive and drive The moon looks different now than just years ago The sky was crystalline as my eyes move slow Now my lens is green Logic rules my mind Nodding is default Keeping tabs on time Knee deep in the pool of narcissus Can’t tell through a screen what does exist No joy No pain Just drive and drive and drive and drive No peaks No falls Just drive and drive and drive and drive

Lundi, mardi, tout de suite c’est dimanche Lundi, mardi ils se répètent pour toujours Toujours ou jamais, personne ne sait quand leur horloge s’arrêtera de tourner Janvier Février Tout à coup c’est le printemps L'été passe vite Parfois pas assez vite Mercredi, jeudi, vendredi, samedi, dimanche Ça se répète toujours Les mille matins que je passe toute seule Je vois le ciel passer de l’or au bleu Je marche à pied Je vais partout Je vois le ciel mais je m’en fous J’entends un rossignol d’hors Je ne sens rien que la douleur Je n'ai personne pour partager Et maintenant je vois que le ciel ne signifie rien Les mille matins que je passe toute seule Je vois le ciel passer de l’or au bleu Je n'ai personne pour partager Et maintenant je vois que le ciel ne signifie rien Lundi mardi, chaque matin je me lève et vois le ciel

8.	Moment 03:23	lyrics	buy track
If I had a moment to I would say goodbye to you If upon a moment’s whim I could say goodbye again The world is a forest to me Your voice is a fallen tree So if you said goodbye to me I’d never hear a sound If I had a moment more I’d come knocking at your door Take you out into the sun Cancel out the damage done But time is nothing like a clock That you can wind, that you can block So why use words, they hold no stock It doesn’t matter now If you’re gone You’re gone You’re long gone If you’re gone You’re gone You’re long long Long gone The moment wasn’t right The moment wasn’t right The moment wasn’t right If I had a moment to I would say “hello” again Summon every chance I missed Relive every single kiss But everything is ridden of you My voice is forbidden through So if I said goodbye to you It never would exist If you’re gone You’re gone You’re long gone If you’re gone You’re gone You’re long long Long gone

about

“Pendulum” explores the swinging and ever changing nature of mental stability, with moments of peace, turbulence, acceptance, hopelessness, abjection, obsession, bravery and weakness. These moments are songs put in opposition to each other and sown together to make for a cathartic experience reflecting the ebbs and flows of the mind.
