[Verse 1]
[B]From the top to the bottom (bottom to top,
I stop)
At the [C]core of the [B]rotten
(stoppin' right when I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so I'm
fightin' the sky)
And I'm far from my weightless
(thinkin', "Why did I try?")
From the top to the bottom (bottom to top,
I stop)
At the core of the rotten
(stoppin' right when I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so I'm
fightin' the sky)
And I'm [C]far from my weightless
[B](thinkin', "Why [D]did I try?")

[Verse 2]
From the [Em]thread to the [B]needle,
[C]middle to en[G]d
When skies cock back and shock
that which [D]couldn't defend
The rain [Em]then [B]sends dripping
[C]an acidic [G]question
Forcefully, the power of sug[D]gestion
Then, with [Em]the eyes tightly [B]shut
[C]looking through the [G]rust
And rotten dust,
a spot of [D]light floods the floor
[Em]Pours it[B]self upon the world of pretend
[G]Then the eyes ease open
and it's [D]dark again

[Verse 3]
From the [B]top to the bottom (bottom to top,
I stop)
At the [C]core [B]of the rotten (stoppin' right
when I thought)
But sun has escaped us (so I'm
fightin' the sky)
And I'm [C]far from my [B]weightless
(thinkin', "Why did I try?")
From the top to the bottom (bottom to top,
I stop)
At the [C]core of the [B]rotten
(stoppin' right when I thought)
But sun has escaped us
(so I'm fightin' the sky)
And I'm [C]far from my weightless
[B](thinkin', "Why did [Em]I try?")
In a [C]minute [G]you'll find

[Verse 4]
[Em]me
Eyes [C]burn [G]me up
[Em]You say you'll never[C] forge[G]t me[Em]
But [C]the lies [G]have piled up

[Verse 5]
Moving all [Em]around,
[B]swinging of [C]the ups and down[G]s
Pollution manifested in per
[D]petual sound
And as the [Em]wheels [B]go 'round,
the sunset creep[G]s past
The street lamps, cars,
chain- [D]links, and concrete
A [Em]window [B]then grows,
captures the [G]eye
And cries out yellow light as it [D]passes it by
A [Em]small black [B]figure sits in front of a box
[G]Inside a box of rock with the
[D]needles on top
[Em]Nothing stop[B]s in this land of the pain
[G]The sane lose not knowing they were
[D]part of the game
And then the [Em]insides [B]change,
but the box stays the [G]same in shame
Shovel up the [D]pieces to the pain
You can [Em]try to hide your
[B]self in this [C]world of pretend
[G]But when the paper's crumpled up
it can't be [D]perfect again

[Verse 6]
From the [C]top to the [B]bottom (bottom to top,
I stop)
At the [C]core [B]of the rotten (stoppin' right
when I thought)
[C]But sun has es[B]caped us (so I'm
fightin' the sky)
And I'm [C]far from my [B]weightless
(thinkin', "Why did I try?")
From the top to the bottom (bottom to top,
I stop)
At the [C]core of [B]the rotten
(stoppin' right when I thought)
But [C]sun has es[B]caped us
(so I'm fightin' the sky)
And I'm [C]far from my [B]weightless
[Em](thinkin', "Why did I try?")
In a [C]minute [G]you'll find

[Verse 7]
[Em]me
Eyes [C]burn [G]me up
[Em]You say you'll never[C] forge[G]t me[Em]
But the [C]lies [G]have pil[Em]ed up

[Verse 8]
[G]Yeah, I got you caught in the [D]act,
you better step back

right through [B]you

[Verse 9]
[Em]me
Eyes [C]burn [G]me up

[G]me up
[G]
You say you'll never forget me
[G]But the lies have piled up
