I just want to know if this is worth my time

These seconds mean too much for me to leave them behind

It ain′t easy being sober in this life we've chose

Vices swing like diamonds on a pendulum

I know it takes a lot to break me outta my shell

I only speak from the heart and I don't speak too well

Trust me when I tell you you can't right my wrongs

Take or leave it baby cause I′ll be long gone

And though I waste my time

In the morning light

Take it еasy when it′s over yeah it's all said and donе

Cause vices swing like diamonds on a pendulum

Morning meditations ′stead of out 'til last call

The grip beneath my tired eyes won′t help me to evolve

And all I want is to surrender to the stillness of the now

But I'll take it to my grave as I run it in the ground

Swinging ′round and 'round on this shiny metal ball

I packed a tin and wondered 'bout this slippery slope I fall

And to hell with inhibitions I′ll just stick to what I know

These two lines keep me straighter than a broken arrow′s bow

And though I waste my time

In the morning light

Take it easy when it's over yeah it′s all said and done

Cause vices swing like diamonds on a pendulum

When the courage starts to show my fear

And the current takes you away from here

With the current state of our affairs make 'em

Take me away from you cause I′m

Too close to losin' you

When the courage starts to show my tears

And the current takes you away from here

With the current state of our affairs make ′em

Take me away from you cause I'm

Too close to losin' you yeah I′m

Too close to losin′ you cause I'm

Too close to losin′ you

No I won't waste my time

In the morning light

′N' take it easy when it′s over yeah it's all said and done

Cause vices swing like diamonds on a pendulum
