Lyrics

(Verse One)
No diving board
I’m heading forward
Not stoping normal-
Men would soil these pants
Ache with these hands
Get my size steak
But can’t equal the appetite it takes
To clear their whole plate, oh man
I struggle with faith sometimes
But I still lye awake most nights
Hands close tight
As I pray
As I still thank him for that day
Is that hypocrisy or anxiety?
False faith by fear
Or the tale sign of my humanity?
Mindless man with copious thoughts
I’m an open book and I’m hoping your God
Thank you for giving today
Not often enough that I pray
When I lay at night
I’m thinking of the faces I’ve loved and I’ve lost
And I say forgive me
For the amount of destruction
That I may leave in my wake
Sometimes I take for granted
In that which you gifted me with
And I managed to act like I’m all that
But the fact is I’m hiding behind a facade
With a smile and a nod like-
(Chorus)
I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Ill find paradise on the ground
Somehow
(x2)
(Verse Two)
I’m a child while I’m grown
I got family while alone
I try to smile while I groan
Its been a while since I’ve been home
Those who know what I mean
Are just like me and struggling
It feels like I am split in three
Who I am to you
And who I want to be
And the third is who I am
When no one else sees me
That one’s the real me
ThAt OnE TeRrIfIeS me
I just hate when he tells me things
About myself it’s troubling
I hope he’ll be ok
For the three of me
(Pre-Chorus)
Counting the times that I’ve failed
I’m sorry that I’m down
Something says I will prevail
I’m sorry that I’m down
Counting the times that I’ve failed
I’m sorry I’m down
I’m trynna turn it around
But I just don’t know how, yet.
(Chorus)
I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Ill find paradise on the ground
Somehow
(x2)
(Verse Three)
I feel I’m dying and trying to force
Every bit of energy from inside of this corpse
Lying and hiding my wars
Inner demons tend to melt when I morph
Shed skin on the floor
Same pattern as before
This warning sign I ignore
It’s by design at its core
These hate systems
In cage victims
This ain’t fiction
The same system
Don’t change things they-
Remain chickens
They feint wisdom
And pray
You don’t obtain vision
Maybe then they’ll listen
That this is a fake prison
(Chorus)
I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Ill find paradise on the ground
Somehow
(x2)
