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
	So 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
	And 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
	As 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
