Rhinestone (Unreleased 1997/1998 Xero Demo) Linkin Park

[Intro: Mark Wakefield, Mike Shinoda]
From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top, I stop)
At the core of the rotten (Stoppin' just what 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' just what 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?")

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda]
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 еyes tightly shut
Lookin' through the rust, and rot and dust
A spot of light floods the floor
Pours itsеlf upon the world of pretend
Then the eyes ease open, and it's dark again

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Wakefield, Mike Shinoda]
From the top to the bottom (Bottom to top, I stop)
At the core of the rotten (Stoppin' just what 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' just what 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?")
