From the top to the bottom 
At the core of the rotten 
But sun has escaped us 
And Im far from my weightless 
From the top to the bottom 
At the core of the rotten 
But sun has escaped us 
And Im far from my weightless 
From the thread to the needle, middle-to-end
When skies cock back and shock that which couldnt 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 its dark again
From the top to the bottom 
At the core of the rotten 
But sun has escaped us 
And Im far from my weightless 
From the top to the bottom 
At the core of the rotten 
But sun has escaped us 
And Im far from my weightless 
In a minute, youll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say youll 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 papers crumpled up, it cant be perfect again
From the top to the bottom 
At the core of the rotten 
But sun has escaped us 
And Im far from my weightless 
From the top to the bottom 
At the core of the rotten 
But sun has escaped us 
And Im far from my weightless 
In a minute, youll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say youll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back
Tellin me that Im seein right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back
Tellin me that Im seein right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back
Tellin me that Im seein right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back
Tellin me that Im seein right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back 
Tellin me that Im seein right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back 
Tellin me that Im seein right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back 
Tellin me that Im seein right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back 
Tellin me that Im seein right through you
In a minute, youll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say youll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
In a minute, youll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say youll never forget me
But the lies keep piling up
