From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
Saw a light in the sky
The sun won't escape me
So why did I try

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
Saw a light in the sky
The sun won't escape me
So why do I try

From the thread to the needle middle to end
When skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend
The rain then sends dripping an acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut
looking through the rust and rot and dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours itself upon the world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and its dark again

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
Saw a light in the sky
The sun won't escape me
So why did I try

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
Saw a light in the sky
The sun won't escape me
So why do I try


In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up

Moving all around
Screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
And as the wheels go round and the sunset creeps past the
street lamps, cars, chain-link and concrete
A window then grows and catches the eye
Cries out a yellow light as it passes it by
A small black figure sits in front of a box
Inside a box of rock with the needles on top
Nothing stops in this land of the pain
The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game
And then the insides change the box stays the same
The shame, shovel up the pieces of the pain
You can try to hide yourself in this world of pretend
But when the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
Saw a light in the sky
The sun won't escape me
So why do I try

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
Saw a light in the sky
The sun won't escape me
So why do I try


In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up


Now I got you got in the act
You better step back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you (7x)


In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up


(In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up)
