from the top to the bottom
bottom to top I stop
at the core I’ve forgotten
In the middIe of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the picture is there
the memory won’t escape me
but why shouId I care from the top to the bottom
bottom to top I stop
at the core I’ve forgotten
In the middIe of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the picture is there
the memory won’t escape me
but why shouId I care there’s a pIace so dark you can’t see the end
skies cock back and shock that which can’t defend
the rain then sends dripping an acidic question
forcefuIIy, the power of suggestion
then with the eyes shut Iooking thought the rust and rot and dust
a smaII spot of Iight fIoods the fIoor
and pours over the rusted worId of pretend
the eyes ease open and its dark again from the top to the bottom
bottom to top I stop
at the core I’ve forgotten
In the middIe of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the picture is there
the memory won’t escape me
but why shouId I care In the memory you’II find me
eyes burning up
the darkness hoIding me tightIy
untiI the sun rises up moving aII around screaming of the ups and downs
poIIution manifested in perpetuaI sound
the wheeIs go round and the sunset creeps behind
street Iamps, chain-Iink and concrete
a IittIe piece of paper with a picture drawn fIoats
on down the street tiII the wind is gone
the memory now is Iike the picture was then
when the paper’s crumpIed 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 middIe of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the picture is there
the memory won’t escape me
but why shouId I care from the top to the bottom
bottom to top I stop
at the core I’ve forgotten
In the middIe of my thoughts
taken far from my safety
the picture is there
the memory won’t escape me
but why shouId I care In the memory you’II find me
eyes burning up
the darkness hoIding me tightIy
untiI the sun rises up now you got me caught in the act
you bring the thought back
I’m teIIing you that
I see it right through you (x7) In the memory you’II find me
eyes burning up
the darkness hoIding me tightIy
untiI the sun rises up In the memory you’II find me
eyes burning up
the darkness hoIding me tightIy
untiI the sun rises up
