Forgotten (Demo) Songtext
von Linkin Park

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 (so I'm bright in the sky)
But the sun will escape me (so why did I try?)

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 (so I'm bright in the sky)
But the sun will escape me (so 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, looking 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 I′ve forgotten (in the middle of my thoughts)
Taken far from my safety (so I'm bright in the sky)
But the sun will escape me (so why did I try?)

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 (so I'm bright in the sky)
But the sun will escape me (so 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

Moving all around, screaming 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
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


Nothing stops in this land of the pain
The sane loose not knowing they where part of the game
But then the inside changes, the box stays the same in shame
Shovel up the pieces to the pain
You can try to hide yourself in this world of pretend
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 I′ve forgotten (in the middle of my thoughts)
Taken far from my safety (so I′m bright in the sky)
But the sun will escape me (so why did I try?)

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 (so I′m bright in the sky)
But the sun will escape me (so 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

Now I've got you caught in the act, you better step back
Telling me that I′m seeing right through you
Now I've got you caught in the act, you better step back
Telling me that I'm seeing right through you
Now I′ve got you caught in the act, you better step back
Telling me that I′m seeing right through you
Now I've got you caught in the act, you better step back
Telling me that I′m seeing right through you

Now I've got you caught in the act, you better step back
Telling you that I′m seeing right through you
Now I've got you caught in the act, you better step back
Telling you that I′m seeing right through you
Now I've got you caught in the act, you better step back
Telling you that I'm seeing right through you
Now I′ve got you caught in the act, you better step back
Telling you that I′m seeing 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 have piled up
