Rhinestone
From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top I stop)At the core of the rotten (Stop to just what I thought)But sun has escaped us (So I've frightened the sky)And I'm far from a rapist (Thinking why did I try)
From the thread to the needle; middle to endWhere skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defendThe rain then sends dripping an acidic questionForcefully; the power of suggestionThen, with the eyes tightly shut looking through the rustAnd rotten dust, a spot of light floods the floorPours itself upon the world of pretendThen the eyes ease open and it's dark again
From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top I stop)At the core of the rotten (Stop to just what I thought)But sun has escaped us (So I've frightened the sky)And I'm far from a rapist (Thinking why did I try)
In a minute you'll find meEyes burn me up...You say you'll never forget meBut the lies have piled up
Moving all around, swinging of the ups and downsPollution manifested in perpetual soundAnd as the wheels go 'round, the sunset creeps past theStreet lamps, cars, chainlinks, and concreteA window then grows, and captures the eyeAnd cries out a yellow light as it passes it byA small black figure sits in front of a boxInside a box of rock with a needles on topNothing stops in this land of the chainWhen brains lose not knowing they were part of the gameAnd in the insides grow, the box stays the same in shameShovel up the pieces to the painYou can try to hide yourself in the world of pretendBut 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 of the rotten (Stop and just what I thought)The sun has escaped us (So I've frightened the sky)And I'm far from a rapist (Thinking why I did try)
In a minute you'll find meEyes burn me up...You say you'll never forget meBut the lies have piled up
Yeah I got you caught in the actYou better step backTelling me that I'm seeing right through you
In a minute you'll find meEyes burn me up...You say you'll never forget meBut the lies have piled up...
(In a minute you'll find meEyes burn me up...You say you'll never forget meBut the lies keep piling up...)
