From the top to the bottom
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top, I stop
At the
core of the rotten
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So, I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from
a rapist
Thinking "why did I try?"
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top, I stop
At the core of the rotten
Stopping
just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So, I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from a rapist
Thinking "why did
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 question
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
Then
the eyes ease open and it's dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top, I stop
At the core of the rotten
Stopping
just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So, I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from a rapist
Thinking "why did
I try?"
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top, I stop
At the core of the rotten
Stopping just what I thought
The
sun has escaped us
So, I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from a rapist
Thinking "why did 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 wheels go 'round, the sunset creeps
Past
the street lamps, cars, chainlinks and concrete
A window then grows and captures the eye
And cries out 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 chain
When brains lose, not knowing they were part of the game
And then insides grow but the
box stays the same
A shame - shovel up the pieces of the pain
You could try to hide yourself in the 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 of the rotten
Stopping just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So, I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from
a rapist
Thinking "why did I try?"
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top, I stop
At the core of the rotten
Stopping
just what I thought
The sun has escaped us
So, I'm bright in the sky
And I'm far from a rapist
Thinking "why did
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
Yeah, I got you caught in the act
You better step back
Telling me that I'm seeing right through you
Yeah,
I got you caught in the act
You better step back
Telling me that I'm seeing right through you
Yeah, I got you
caught in the act
You better step back
Telling me that I'm seeing right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in
the act
You better step back
Telling me that I'm seeing right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act
You
better step back
Telling me that I'm seeing right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act
You better step
back
Telling me that I'm seeing right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act
You better step back
Telling
me that I'm seeing right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act
You better step back
Telling me that I'm
seeing right through you
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
keep piling up
