Lyrics Rhinestone - Linkin Park

Rhinestone

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 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 far from my weightless (Thinkin', "why did I try?")
From the thread to the needle, middle-to-end
When skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend
The rain then sends dripping an acidic question
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then, with the eyes tightly shut
Lookin' through the rust, and rot and dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours itself upon the world of pretend
Then 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 (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 far from my weightless (Thinkin', "why did I try?")
In a minute, you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
Movin' all around, screamin' of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
And as the wheels go 'round, the sunset creeps
Past the street lamps, cars, chain-links, and concrete
A window then grows and captures the eye
And cries out yellow light as it passes it by
A small black figure sits in front of a box
Inside a box of rock with the needles on top
Nothin' stops in this land of the pain
The same lose, not knowin' they were part of the game
And then, the insides change, but the box stays the same
In shame, shovel up the pieces to the pain
You can try to hide yourself in the world of pretend
But 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 (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 far from my weightless (Thinkin', "why did I try?")
In a minute, you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back
Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back
Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back
Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back
Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back (Afraid of the end)
Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back (Afraid of the end)
Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back (Afraid of the end)
Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you
Yeah, I got you caught in the act, you better step back (Afraid of the end)
Tellin' me that I'm seein' right through you
In a minute, you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up
In a minute, you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies keep piling up
