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'm bright in the sky

And I'm far from rapist

Look at why did 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

Then the eyes ease open and its dark again



Chorus



Bridge:

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, chain-links, and concrete

A wind open grows and captures the eye

Cry's out yellow light as it passes it by

A small black figure sits in front of a box

Inside a box a rock with the needles on top



Nothing stops in the slanted the chain

The brains lose not knowing they were part of the game

And the insides go but the box stays the same

And shame, shovel up the pieces to the pain

You could try to hide yourself in the world of pretend

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



Chorus

Bridge



Yeah I got you got in the act

You better step back

Telling me that

I seein' right through you (7x)



Bridge (2x)
