I saw myself in the mirror today But for once in a different way Unlike so many times before I could see right through to the core All of this will die some day In a hundred years we'll be away There's just nothing that we can do 'Cause time won't stop for me nor you Every second that passes Every breath that I take The pendulum keeps swinging The clock is digging my grave It's just another day That slowly fades away I try to blend all colors But what remains is gray So this is me trying to capture The sense of life, the wider picture But every time I find an answer I'm just nourishing the cancer That's growing inside my head Along the list of things that I've left unsaid And I wish I would have done Something of me would live on Every second that passes Every breath that I take The pendulum keeps swinging The clock is digging my grave It's just another day That slowly fades away I try to blend all colors I try to blend all colors But what remains is gray I'm constantly thinking About life and everything around me I'm hopelessly hoping To find an answer that will work for me Every second that passes Every breath that I take The pendulum keeps swinging The clock is digging my grave It's just another day That slowly fades away I try to blend all colors Every second that passes Every breath that I take The pendulum keeps swinging The clock is digging my grave It's just another day That slowly fades away I try to blend all colors But what remains is gray
