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)
