From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top, I stop)
|
At the core of the rotten (Stoppin' right when I thought)
|
But sun has escaped us (So I'm fightin' the sky)
|
And I'm far from my weightless (Thinkin', "why did I try?")
|
From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top, I stop)
|
At the core of the rotten (Stoppin' right when I thought)
|
But sun has escaped us (So I'm fightin' the sky)
|
And I'm far from my weightless (Thinkin', "why did I try?")
|
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 an acidic question
|
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
|
Then, with the eyes tightly shut
|
Lookin' through the rust, and rot and dust
|
A spot of light floods the floor
|
And pours itself upon the world of pretend
|
Then the eyes ease open, and it's dark again
|
From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top, I stop)
|
At the core of the rotten (Stoppin' right when I thought)
|
But sun has escaped us (So I'm fightin' the sky)
|
And I'm far from my weightless (Thinkin', "why did I try?")
|
From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top, I stop)

|
In a minute, you'll find me
|
Eyes burn me up
|
You say you'll never forget me
|
But the lies have piled up
|
Movin' all around, screamin' of the ups and downs
|
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
|
And as the wheels go 'round, the sunset creeps
|
Past the street lamps, cars, chain-links, and concrete
|
A window then grows and captures the eye
|
And cries out 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
|
Nothin' stops in this land of the pain
|
The same lose, not knowin' they were part of the game
|
And then, the insides change, but the box stays the same
|
In shame, shovel up the pieces to the pain
|
You can try to hide yourself in the world of pretend
|
But 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 of the rotten (Stoppin' right when I thought)
|
But sun has escaped us (So I'm fightin' the sky)
|
And I'm far from my weightless (Thinkin', "why did 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
|
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back
|
Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you
|
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back
|
Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you

Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back

Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you
|
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back
|
Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you
|
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back (Afraid of the end)
|
Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you

Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back (Afraid of the end)
