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)      Bridge (2x)
