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

So I'm bright in the sky

The sun will escape me

So why did I try (2x)



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 acidic questions

Forcefully, the power of suggestion

Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust and rotten dust

A spot of light floods the floor

And pours itself upon a world of pretend

The eyes ease open and its dark again



Chorus



Bridge:

In a minute you'll find me

Eyes burning up

You say you'll never forget me

Until the lies has 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, chain-links, and concrete

A wind open grows and captures the eye

Prys out yellow light as it passes it by

A small black figure sits in front of a box

Inside a box a clock with the needles on top



Nothing stops in the slanted the pain

The same lose not knowing they were part of the game

And the inside changes and the box stays the same

And shame, shovel up the pieces to the pain

You could try to hide yourself in this world of pretend

When the paper's crumbled up it can't be perfect again



Chorus

Bridge



Now I got you got in the act

You better step back

I'm telling you that

I see it right through you (7x)



Bridge (2x)
