Lyrics
Downsides
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Life's not as bad as you make it out to be
Reach out... The world is at your feet.
You can't dwell on your feelings,
In a city that never sleeps
Stop dreaming.
Start believing in yourself
Wake the fuck up, break through the walls.
Drop your fears.
Control was never lost, it's always been here.
I'm walking on thin lines of broken glass every night.
You have no idea, you have no idea...
Of all the fucked up shit that runs through my mind.
Keep your head up son and look on the bright side.
Stop weighing on the downsides in life
And you'll be just fine, you'll be just fine
Because alone
In this concrete jungle, you've got to fight
To stay alive, burn bridges in order to survive.
Opportunity is your only ally, and
Shut your mouth it's your only alibi.
But the worst part about this is I can't really describe it.
These problems and issues - are not mine.
I can't help you, it's up to you.
Stop dreaming and start believing.
Show no weakness and hide your feelings
I'm walking on thin lines of broken glass every night.
You have no idea, you have no idea
Of all the fucked up shit that runs through my mind.
Keep your head up son and look on the bright side.
Stop weighing on the downsides in life
And you'll be just fine, you'll be just fine.
