The picture is there
The memory won’t escape me
In the memory you’ll find me
Until the sun rises up
The eyes ease open and it's dark again
The memory won’t escape me
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
Taken far from my safety
Eyes burning up
From the top to the bottom
Taken far from my safety
Eyes burning up
I see it right through you
The picture is there
Now you got me caught in the act
From the top to the bottom
Until the sun rises up
In the memory you’ll find me
Now you got me caught in the act
But why should I care
I see it right through you
The memory won’t escape me
But why should I care
Street lamps, chain-link and concrete
The memory won’t escape me
When the paper’s crumpled up it can’t be perfect again
There’s a place so dark you can’t see the end

In the middle of my thoughts
But why should I care
The picture is there
Until the sun rises up
But why should I care
At the core I’ve forgotten
The rain then sends dripping, an acidic question
I’m telling you that
Now you got me caught in the act
I’m telling you that
I’m telling you that
Bottom to top I stop
In the middle of my thoughts
You bring the thought back
The darkness holding me tightly
The darkness holding me tightly
I see it right through you
In the middle of my thoughts
At the core I’ve forgotten
And the memory now is like the picture was then
From the top to the bottom
At the core I’ve forgotten
The darkness holding me tightly
The picture is there
In the memory, you will find me
The picture is there
The wheels go round and the sunset creeps behind
I’m telling you that
But why should I care
Taken far from my safety
Eyes burning up
I’m telling you that
I see it right through you
Bottom to top I stop
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats
In the middle of my thoughts
Now you got me caught in the act
I see it right through you
You bring the thought back
From the top to the bottom
The memory won’t escape me
I’m telling you that
At the core I’ve forgotten
From the top to the bottom
Then with the eyes shut, looking though the rust and rot
The darkness holding me tightly
I see it right through you
Now you got me caught in the act
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
Now you got me caught in the act
I’m telling you that
I see it right through you
On down the street till the wind is gone
At the core I’ve forgotten
Eyes burning up
In the middle of my thoughts
You bring the thought back
You bring the thought back
Bottom to top I stop
You bring the thought back
Skies cock back and shock that which can’t defend
Moving all around, screaming of the ups and downs

Forcefully, the power of suggestion
You bring the thought back
And dust, a spot of light floods the floor
You bring the thought back
Now you got me caught in the act
Bottom to top I stop
Until the sun rises up
Taken far from my safety
Bottom to top I stop
Taken far from my safety
In the memory you’ll find me
