LINKIN PARK - Frgt/10 Reanimation Remix of Forgotten lyrics

rate me

From the top to the bottom

Bottom to top I stop

At the core of forgotten

In the middle of my thoughts

Taken far from my safety

The picture's there

The memory won't escape me

[Verse: 1]

We're stuck in a place so dark, you can hardly see

A manner of matter that splits, with the words I breathe

An' as the rain drips, acidic questions around me

I block out the sight of the powers that be

An' duck away into the darkness, times up

I wind up in a rusted world with eyes shut

So tight that it blurrs into the world of pretend

An' the eyes ease open and it's dark again

[Bridge]

From the top to the bottom

Bottom to top I stop

At the core of forgotten

In the middle of my thoughts

Taken far from my safety

The picture's there

The memory won't escape me

why should I care

[Chorus]

In the memory you'll find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly

Until the sun rises up

[Verse: 2]

Listen to the sound, dizzy from the ups and downs

An' nauseated by the polluted rott, that's all around

Watchin' the wheels of cars that pass I look past

To the last of the light and the long shadows it casts

A window grows and captures the eye

An' cries out, a yellow light as it passes me by

And a young shadowy figure sits 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

An' while the insides changed, the box stays the same

And the figure inside could bare anybody's name

The memories I keep, are from a time like then

I put 'em on paper so I could come back to them

Someday I'm hopin' to close my eyes and pretend

That this crumpled up paper, can be perfect again

Yo

[Bridge: Repeat]

I'm here at this podium talking, the ceremonial offerings

Dedicated to urban disfunctional offsprings (What's happenin'?)

City governments are eternally nappin'

An' trapped in greedy covenants, causin' urban collapsin'

An' bullets that scar souls, with dark holes, get more than your car stole

Some hearts be blacker than charcoal (the grill)

This society's deprivation depends

Not on how it differences, but the separation within

No preparation is made, limited aide an' minimum wage

Livin' in a tenement cage where rent isnt paid

Tragedy within the parade

The darkness overspreads like a permanent plague

An' I'm forgotten

[Chorus: Repeat]
