Forgotten - Intellectual

[Intro: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]

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?)

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?)

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]

There's a place so dark you can't see the end

Skies cock back and shock that which can't defend

The rain then sends dripping acidic questions

Forcefully, the power of suggestion

Then with the eyes shut, lookin' through the rust and rot

And dust, a small spot of light floods the floor

And pours over the rusted world of pretend

And the eyes ease open and it's dark again

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]

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?)

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]

In the memory, you'll find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly

Until the sun rises up

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda]

Movin' all around, screamin' of the ups and downs

Pollution manifested in perpetual sound

The wheels go round and the sunset creeps

Behind street lamps, chain-link and concrete

A little piece of paper with a picture drawn

Floats on down the street 'til the wind is gone

And the memory now is like the picture was then

When the paper's crumpled up, it can't be perfect again

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda]

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?)

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?)

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]

In the memory, you'll find me

Eyes burning up

The darkness holding me tightly

Until the sun rises up

[Bridge: Mike Shinoda, Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington, Chester Bennington]

Now you got me caught in the act, you bring the thought back
