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
Souring bright in the sky
The sun won’t escape me
So why did I try?

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
Souring bright in the sky
The sun won’t escape me
So why do I try?

From the thread to the needle, the middle, the end
(Skies cock back) and shock that which couldn’t defend
The rain then sends dripping an acidic question
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut
Looking though the rust and rot and dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours itself upon the world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its 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
Souring bright in the sky
The sun won’t escape me
So why did I try?

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
Souring bright in the sky
The sun won’t escape me
So why do I try?

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
The wheels go round and the sunset creeps past
The street lamps, cars, chain-links and concrete
A window then grows and catches the eye
And crys out yellow light as it passes it by
A small black figure sits infront of a box
Inside a box of rock with needles ontop

Nothing stops in this land of the pain
The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game
And then the insides change and the box stays the same
And shame, shovel up the pieces of the pain
You try to hide yourself in this world of pretend
When the papers 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
Souring bright in the sky
The sun won’t escape me
So why do I try?

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
Souring bright in the sky
The sun won’t escape me
So why do I try?

In a minute you’ll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up

Now I got you caught in the act
You better step back
I’m telling you that
I'm seeing right through you

Now I got you caught in the act
You better step back
I’m telling you that
I'm seeing right through you

Now I got you caught in the act
You better step back
I’m telling you that
I'm seeing right through you

Now I got you caught in the act
You better step back
I’m telling you that
I'm seeing right through you

Now I got you caught in the act
You better step back
I’m telling you that
I'm seeing right through you

Now I got you caught in the act
You better step back
I’m telling you that
I'm seeing right through you

Now I got you caught in the act
You better step back
I’m telling you that
I'm seeing right through you

In a minute you’ll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up

In a minute you’ll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
