Upside-down


We are seeing in the dark

Seeing a way to leave a mark

Leave a mark upon this wall

and guard it, never let it fall

And we are trying to find a way

Through the people every day

Find a way around this town

A way to turn it upside-down

 

Darkness cannot confine us

And fear cannot define us

I sat through

The read through

Now I'm done and ready

Stand your ground

I'm gonna turn this upside-down

 

We're stacked on a deck of cards

All collecting our rewards

It's time to get up and run

To really see the moon and sun

And I'm afraid of counting sheep

because I don't want to fall asleep

I want to see what's all around

I want to turn it upside-down
