From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top I stop)
|
At the core of the rotten (Stop to just what I thought)
|
But sun has escaped us (So I've frightened the sky)
|
And I'm far from a rapist (Thinking why did I try)
|
|
From the thread to the needle; middle to end
|
Where 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 rotten dust, a spot of light floods the floor
|
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 (Stop to just what I thought)
|
But sun has escaped us (So I've frightened 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, swinging of the ups and downs
|
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
|
And as the 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 a yellow light as it passes it by
|
A small black figure sits in front of a box
|
Inside a box of rock with a needles on top
|
Nothing stops in this land of the chain
|
When brains lose not knowing they were part of the game
|
And in the insides grow, the box stays the same in shame
|
Shovel up the pieces to the pain
|
You can 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 (Stop and just what I thought)
|
The sun has escaped us (So I've frightened the sky)
|
And I'm far from a rapist (Thinking why I did 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
|
|
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...)
