FORGOTTEN
From the top to the bottom
Bottom the 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 the 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 though the rust and rot and dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and its dark again
From the top to the bottom
Bottom the 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 the sunset creeps behind street lamps
chain-link and concrete
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn
Floats on down the street 'til 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 the 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 the 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
