Pendulum from Pendulum by Woesbegone Sun
I started writing this song inspired by a tragic accident I stumbled upon back in February of 2019. A beautiful musician and person I met in the low desert was severely injured and almost lost his life. The day after I met a man by chance that told me there needed to be a song called the pendulum swings. Being in a depressed state of writer's block at the time, I took his idea to heart. I wrote the song with the hope that the experience would speak to the tragedy in people's lives and perhaps our idea of what kind of society we want to be as we enter a new century.

Lyrics
I saw smoke rising in the night
Bout' an hour before the sunrise
She said she could tell by the sky
That it was desert fire...
I found him lying in the street
Eyes wide open and close to the heat
Of his car drowning in flames
He just laughed he wasn't in the seat...
Put some feeling into your dancing
Even when you feel like nothing
Soon the pendulum will swing again
So don't worry bout' these things
The pendulum swings...
Something was different bout' the air
An inferno began to dance and whisper
A moment recorded worth a million words
And waking up afraid to watch it and be sure...
Put some feeling into your dancing
Even when you feel like nothing
Soon the pendulum will swing again
So don't worry bout' these things
The pendulum swings...
