Upside Looking Down

Well you came on like some blazing supernova

With a flame that burned so brightly in the sky

Then you woke up and your long white night was over

And you cursed the world that dared to pass you by

Now you blame the ones who love you for your sorrows

Dealing dirty while you steal the higher ground

But you cheated and you lied

And life took you for a ride

Now you're standing on the upside

Looking down

And o the hero in disguise

Believing his own alibis

You run so scared you're standing still

I know you are - i know you will

Be the first to call it quits and run for cover

While your little world is crumbling all around

But you punked out on yourself

You can't blame nobody else

Now that you're standing on the upside

Looking down

And o the heartache of the thief

Strung out on his own stash of grief

A line for you - a flake for me

But now it's ancient history

When the sky is turning black and glassing over

As you drift so high above the lights of town

All at once it seems so clear

You can see it all from here

When you're standing on the upside

Looking down
