Upside Down - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

If I look too close, I fear for what I'll find

There's something wrong with the picture and I think I've known for a while

Perfect families of stone politely crumbling in wax-cast homes

It's sickening to watch as beauty goes awry – am I entranced or am I horrified?

"This life," you said

"It's easy upside down"

"The truth is rarely quite as sweet unless you lie to yourself

Don't open your eyes until you've hit the bottom"

All I wanted was to trust myself

Never altered by opposing forces

In a drеam I never needed any hеlp

But defiance hurt me more than any fortune

If I look too close, more fractures reveal themselves

And when I place my hands to the glass, I begin to wear them as well

When a flaw turns into a fault turns into a lie

I feel the lonely people turn to me and bare their true smiles

(Now something wrong feels right, oh)

All I wanted was to trust myself

Never altered by opposing forces

In a dream I never needed any help

But defiance hurt me more than any fortune

Close the door

No longer recognise the place I knew

To see is powerful, to look away is more

The defiance hurt me more than any fortune

This life I found (This life I found)

I'll live it upside down (I'll live it upside down)

This life I found (This life I found)

I'll live it upside down

To suffer in silence feels nice at the bottom
