Linkin Park, Chali 2NA - Frgt/10 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's there)
The memory won't escape me

We're stuck in a place so dark
You can hardly see
A manner of matter that split's
With the words I breathe
And as the rain drips
Acidic questions around me
I block out the sight of the powers that be
And duck away into the darkness, time's up
I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut
So tight that it blurs into
The world of pretend
And the eyes ease open and it's 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's 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

Listen to the sound
Dizzy from the ups and downs
And nauseated by the polluted
Rot that's all around
Watching the wheels of cars that pass
I look past to the last of the
Light and the long shadows it casts
A window grows, captures the eye
And cries out yellow light as it passes me by
And a young
Shadowy figure sit's in front of a box
Inside a building of rock
With antennas on top
Now, nothing can stop in this
Land of the pain the sane lose
Not knowing they were part of the game
And while the insides change
The box stays the same
And the figure inside could
Bear anybody's name
The memories I keep are from a time like then
I put on my paper so I
Could come back to them
Someday, I'm hoping to close
My eyes and pretend
That this crumpled up paper
Can be perfect again

Yo, 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's there)
The memory won't escape me

I'm here at this podium talking
The ceremonial offerings
Dedicated to urban dysfunctional offspring
(What's happening?)
City governments are eternally napping
Trapped in greedy covenants
Causing urban collapse
And bullets that scar souls with dark holes
Get more than your car stole
Some hearts be blacker than charcoal
(For real)
This society's deprivation depends
Not on our differences
But the separation within
No reparation is made
Limited aid on minimum wage
Living in a tenement cage
Where rent isn't paid
Tragedy within a parade
The darkness overspreads like
A permanent plague i'm the forgotten

In the memory you'll find me eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
