From the top to the bottom, bottom to top, I stop At the core, I've forgotten, in the middle of my thoughts Taking fire for my safety, the picture's there The memory won't escape me, but why should I care? From the top to the bottom, bottom to top, I stop At the core, I've forgotten, in the middle of my thoughts Taking fire for 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 caught back, a shotgun which can't defend The rain then sends dripping, acidic questions Forcefully, the power of suggestion Then with the eyes shut, looking through the rust and rotten dust A small spot of light floods the floor And pours over the rusted world of pretend And the eyes ease open, and it's 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 Taking fire for my safety, the picture's there The memory won't escape me, but why should I care? In the memory you'll find me As burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up We're 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 in concrete, a little piece of paper with a picture drawn Floats on down the street, till 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 to top, I stop At the core, I've forgotten, in the middle of my thoughts Taking fire for my safety, the picture's there The memory won't escape me, but why should I care? From the top to the bottom, bottom to top, I stop At the core, I've forgotten, in the middle of my thoughts Taking fire for my safety, the picture's there The memory won't escape me, but why should I care? In the memory you'll find me As burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up Now you got me cardiac, you bring your thought back Telling you that, I see it right through you Now you got me cardiac, you bring your thought back Telling you that, I see it right through you Now you got me cardiac, you bring your thought back Telling you that, I see it right through you Now you got me cardiac, you bring your thought back Telling you that, I see it right through you Now you got me cardiac, you bring your thought back Telling you that, I see it right through you Now you got me cardiac, you bring your thought back Telling you that, I see it right through you Now you got me cardiac, you bring your thought back Telling you that, I see it right through you In the memory you'll find me As burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up In the memory you'll find me As burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up
