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 The picture is there The memory won't escape me (2x) But why should I care There's a place so dark you can't see the end (Skies cock back) and shock that which can't defend The rain then sends dripping acidic questions Forcefully, the power of suggestion Then with the eyes tightly shut looking though the rust and rotten dust A spot of light floods the floor And pours over the rusted world 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 middle of my thoughts Taken far from my safety The picture is there The memory won't escape me But why should I care In the memory you'll find me Eyes burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up Moving all around Screaming of the ups and downs Pollution manifested in perpetual sound The wheels go round and the sunset creeps past the street lamps, chain-link, and concrete A little piece of paper with a picture drawn Floats on down the street till the wind is gone 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 Taken far from my safety The picture is there The memory won't escape me But why should I care (2x) In the memory you'll find me Eyes burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up Chorus Bridge Now you got me caught in the act You bring the thought back I'm telling you that I see it right through you
Numb I’m tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless lost under the surface Don’t know what you’re expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes (Caught in the undertow,just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow,just caught in the undertow I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there I’ve become so tired so much more aware I’ve becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you Can’t you see that you’re smothering me Holding too tightly afraid to lose control Causes everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you (Caught in the undertow,just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow,just caught in the undertow And every second I waste is more than I can take I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there I’ve become so tired so much more aware I’ve becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you And I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me with someone disappointed in you I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there I’ve become so tired so much more aware I’ve becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there I’m tired of being what you want me to be I’ve become so numb I can’t feel you there I’m tired of being what you want me to be
