From the top to the bottom 
At the core, Ive forgotten 
Taken far from my safety 
But the sun will escape me 
From the top to the bottom 
At the core, Ive forgotten 
Taken far from my safety 
But the sun will escape me 
From the thread to the needle, middle to end
When skies cock back and shock that which couldnt 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
And the eyes ease open and its dark again
From the top to the bottom 
At the core, Ive forgotten 
Taken far from my safety 
But the sun will escape me 
From the top to the bottom 
At the core, Ive forgotten 
Taken far from my safety 
But the sun will escape me 
In a minute, youll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say youll never forgive 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 papers crumpled up, it cant be perfect again
From the top to the bottom 
At the core, Ive forgotten 
Taken far from my safety 
But the sun will escape me 
From the top to the bottom 
At the core, Ive forgotten 
Taken far from my safety 
But the sun will escape me 
In a minute, youll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say youll never forgive me
But the lies have piled up
Now I got you caught in the act, you better step back
Im telling you that I see it right through you
Now I got you caught in the act, you better step back
Im telling you that I see it right through you
Now I got you caught in the act, you better step back
Im telling you that I see it right through you
Now I got you caught in the act, you better step back
Im telling you that I see it right through you
 Now I got you got in the act, you better step back
Im telling you that I see it right through you
 Now I got you got in the act, you better step back
Im telling you that I see it right through you
 Now I got you got in the act, you better step back
Im telling you that I see it right through you
 Now I got you got in the act, you better step back
Im telling you that I see it right through you
In a minute, youll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say youll never forgive me
But the lies have piled up
In a minute, youll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say youll never forgive me
But the lies have piled up
