Lacie's Pendulum

You were her light that turned to shadow

when you tore her apart

and created all her sorrows

by breaking her fragile heart.

Tick tick tick

that's the sound of Lacie's life fading away.

Tick tick tick

that's the sound of Lacie's pendulum.

As she lies in Death's hands

and let's go of yours,

her voice still resides in your head:

Why won't you just let me fall

and keep all those empty words

you whispered in my ear?
