Forgotten

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

The picture's there

The memory won't escape me

But why should I care?

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

The picture's there

The memory won't escape me

But why should I care?

There's a place so dark you can't see the end

Skies cock back and shock that which can't defend

The rain then sends dripping, acidic questions

Forcefully, the power of suggestion

Then with the eyes shut, looking through the rust and rot and dust

A small spot of light floods the floor

And pours over the rusted world of pretend

And the eyes ease open and it's dark again

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

The picture's there

The memory won't escape me

But why should I care?

In the memory you'll find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly

Until the sun rises up

Moving all around screaming of the ups and downs

Pollution manifested in perpetual sound

The wheels go 'round and sunset creeps behind

Street lamps, chain link and concrete

A little piece of paper with a picture drawn

Floats on down the street till the wind is gone

And the memory now is like the picture was then

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 I've forgotten

In the middle of my thoughts

Taken far from my safety

The picture's there

The memory won't escape me

But why should I care?

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

The picture's there

The memory won't escape me

But why should I care?

In the memory you'll find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly

Until the sun rises up

Now you got me caught in the act, you bring the thought back

Telling you that I see it right through you

Now you got me caught in the act, you bring the thought back

Telling you that I see it right through you

Now you got me caught in the act, you bring the thought back

Telling you that I see it right through you

Now you got me caught in the act, you bring the thought back

Telling you that I see it right through you

Now you got me caught in the act, you bring the thought back

Telling you that I see it right through you

Now you got me caught in the act, you bring the thought back

Telling you that I see it right through you

Now you got me caught in the act, you bring the thought back

Telling you that I see it right through you

In the memory you'll find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly

Until the sun rises up

In the memory you will find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly

Until the sun rises up
