From the top to the bottomВ 
Bottom to top I stopВ 
At the core of the rottenВ 
Stop and just what I thoughtВ 
The sun has escaped usВ 
So I'm bright in the skyВ 
And I'm far from rapistВ 
Look at why did try (2x)В 

From the thread to the needle, middle to endВ 
When skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defendВ 
The rain then sends dripping acidic questionsВ 
Forcefully, the power of suggestionВ 
Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust and rotten dustВ 
A spot of light floods the floorВ 
And pours itself upon a world of pretendВ 
Then the eyes ease open and its dark againВ 

ChorusВ 

Bridge:В 
In a minute you'll find meВ 
Eyes burn me upВ 
You say you'll never forget meВ 
But the lies have piled upВ 

Moving all aroundВ 
Screaming of the ups and downsВ 
Pollution manifested in perpetual soundВ 
And as wheels go round the sunset creeps past theВ 
Street lamps, cars, chain-links, and concreteВ 
A wind open grows and captures the eyeВ 
Cry's out yellow light as it passes it byВ 
A small black figure sits in front of a boxВ 
Inside a box a rock with the needles on topВ 

Nothing stops in the slanted the chainВ 
The brains lose not knowing they were part of the gameВ 
And the insides go but the box stays the sameВ 
And shame, shovel up the pieces to the painВ 
You could try to hide yourself in the world of pretendВ 
When the paper's crumbled up it can't be perfect againВ 

ChorusВ 
BridgeВ 

Yeah I got you got in the actВ 
You better step backВ 
Telling me thatВ 
I seein' right through you (7x)В 

Bridge (2x)
