“Pendulum” written, produced, mixed and mastered by Ian Santillano

Lyrics:
Expectations
Watching over me
I can hardly breathe

Face my demons
It’s okay to be me
That’s all I need

‘Cause it’s a cycle
It’s a pendulum
You’re not psycho
For not moving on
Inner light soul
Dimmest right before
The dawn

Sitting here I’m watching
Myself turn into the person
I think you want me to be
Instead of just being me, oh-oh

‘Cause it’s a cycle (it’s a cycle)
It’s a pendulum (it’s a pendulum)
You’re not psycho (you’re not psycho)
For not moving on (for not moving on)
Inner light soul (inner light soul)
Dimmest right before (dimmest right before)
The dawn (the dawn)

‘Cause it’s a cycle
It’s a pendulum
You’re not psycho
For not moving on
Inner light soul
Dimmest right before
The dawn (dawn dawn dawn)

It’s a cycle
It’s a pendulum
You’re not psycho
For not moving on
Inner light soul
Dimmest right before
The dawn, yeah
