Looking Down Is Looking Up
[Verse 1]
How do you move on from something so mad?
Oh so destroyed, definitely not glad
How can she get the fire she once had
Without pushing her head into the sand?
Keep it above sea levels, keep dry
You look up, it’s your life that’s in the sky
You can’t fly, don’t tell yourself that ‘cause you’ll lie
Keep on the stardom path that’ll get you by
Rolling around, rolling to town
But you can’t leave the house, where do you go now?
In an age where teen bliss exists
She’s missing out on the new life fix
It’s something that can’t bе undone
It’s something that you can’t rewind
It won’t lеt the yarn be wound
Your life won’t let yourself be found
Progress is what you need but I’ll digress
Don’t be idle staring into televisions at sunset
Meds are not what you need
Like the Samaritans, get up on your feet
Where’s your mother when you need her most?
You need to set grounds and boundaries or you’re toast
A war is beginning to show afloat
Be the village motivator standing on your boat
Push and be colossus and don’t slow for the show
Don’t let your life end up like a car crash
‘Cause when the lights come on, that’s the final blow
Sing all the hymns for yourselves, don’t be brash
Her hysteria is growing, the pressure
It’s floating, we’re no knights of Cydonia
Feeling so small, like a newborn I crawl
All small babies, plug into the wall
[Bridge]
We’re all skating on the line
We’re all skating on the line
We’re all skating on the line
Looking down leaves space for precious times
Looking down leaves space for precious times
Looking down leaves space for precious times
[Verse 2]
No progress, she’s upset (she’s upset)
Standing in the middle surrounded by four walls
We can’t hit that button reset
Reset us ‘cause we’re on all fours
However, we don’t have long to go
We’re getting totalled, look at the total
We will be killed by the know-it-alls
Who will push their knowledge onto us until we fall
She’s just a kid any way she’ll brawl
You don’t go to a ball to bawl
That’s the unique type that’s falling through floors
How many? Two, three or four?
Anyway you look, you could be looking up
Face the brightness, you are in luck
As you’re alive, you’re strong like pull-ups
Just be sure to not mess it all up
‘Cause in an instant, it can all get mucked
A million thoughts at once is enough
