Forgotten Lyrics

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 

 [Chorus x2] 

 

 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 / an acidic question 

 Forcefully, the power of suggestion 

 Then with the eyes shut / looking thought the rust and rot 

 And dust / a small spot of light floods the floor 

 And pours over the rusted world of pretend 

 The eyes ease open and its dark again 

 

 [Chorus x1] 

 

 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 behind 

 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 

 

 [Chorus x2] 

 

 In the memory you’ll find me 

 Eyes burning up 

 The darkness holding me tightly 

 Until the sun rises up 

 

 Now you got me caught in the act 

 You bring the thought back 

 I’m telling you that 

 I see it right through you 

 [x7] 

 

 In the memory you’ll find me 

 Eyes burning up 

 The darkness holding me tightly 

 Until the sun rises up 

 [x2]
