Above Under
Verse 1: We held hands and I fell under your spell...you are the hell from above
My heart has turned to ashes, but I rose again like a Phoenix because of you and I's love
I bled out regret because I disappointed you...I fed the fire of desireless shame
I was once the shade of red, but now I'm the hue of blue...life is one long monopoly game
Pre-chorus: You whispered lullabies in my keen ears
When I was drowning in my tears,
You lifted me up above the ground where I knelt down, gravity-bound and doing nothing much
My prayer was answered the moment you found me and kissed me - oh how I missed your touch
Chorus: I'm here to stay...above under night after night and day after day
To my dismay, the clouds are dreary and gray as can be today
You're here to prey...
Upon my helpless soul, Sensitive to your eyes, burning like black coal
Yeah, you're a predator that hunts me down
I'll keep smiling the pain away and wearing my upside down frown crown
Ooooh ooooh mmmm
Ooooh ooooh mmmm
Yeah...you try to break me and tear my walls down...I'll be strong as a warrior, no fear in my eyes will be shown
Yeah...you try to chase away my positivity, but darling, I'm getting outta your torture town
Verse 2: Bummed out and depressed because of my lonesome state
My bipolar disorder is something I love and hate
Don't I feel great...helplessly giving in to numbness
I feel like complaining like that stranger that walked by...in mighty distress
Pre-chorus: You whispered lullabies in my keen ears
When I was drowning in my tears,
You lifted me up above the ground where I knelt down, gravity-bound and doing nothing much
My prayer was answered the moment you found me and kissed me - oh how I missed your touch
Chorus: I'm here to stay...above under night after night and day after day
To my dismay, the clouds are dreary and gray as can be today
You're here to prey...
Upon my helpless soul, Sensitive to your eyes, burning like black coal
Yeah, you're a predator that hunts me down
I'll keep smiling the pain away and wearing my upside down frown crown
Ooooh ooooh mmmm
Ooooh ooooh mmmm
Yeah...you try to break me and tear my walls down...I'll be strong as a warrior, no fear in my eyes will be shown
Yeah...you try to chase away my positivity, but darling, I'm getting outta your torture town
Verse 3: I'm so worthless in this situation
I can't...break free from this frustration
I'm getting over you...going above under just to get through the dismay of yesterday
I'm living a life without you and living a lie, sugar-coated by our endless fantasies - the truth fades away
Pre-chorus: You whispered lullabies in my keen ears
When I was drowning in my tears,
You lifted me up above the ground where I knelt down, gravity-bound and doing nothing much
My prayer was answered the moment you found me and kissed me - oh how I missed your touch
Chorus: I'm here to stay...above under night after night and day after day
To my dismay, the clouds are dreary and gray as can be today
You're here to prey...
Upon my helpless soul, Sensitive to your eyes, burning like black coal
Yeah, you're a predator that hunts me down
I'll keep smiling the pain away and wearing my upside down frown crown
Ooooh ooooh mmmm
Ooooh ooooh mmmm
Yeah...you try to break me and tear my walls down...I'll be strong as a warrior, no fear in my eyes will be shown
Yeah...you try to chase away my positivity, but darling, I'm getting outta your torture town
Verse 4: I've grown accustomed to you and I got tricked by your devious ways
My feet our growing numb by walking on thin ice these days
I hop scotch around the place, trying to keep pace with my heart's rhythm and beat
I stop myself from running into troubles and you carry me above my feet
Pre-chorus: You whispered lullabies in my keen ears
When I was drowning in my tears,
You lifted me up above the ground where I knelt down, gravity-bound and doing nothing much
My prayer was answered the moment you found me and kissed me - oh how I missed your touch
Chorus: I'm here to stay...above under night after night and day after day
To my dismay, the clouds are dreary and gray as can be today
You're here to prey...
Upon my helpless soul, Sensitive to your eyes, burning like black coal
Yeah, you're a predator that hunts me down
I'll keep smiling the pain away and wearing my upside down frown crown
Ooooh ooooh mmmm
Ooooh ooooh mmmm
Yeah...you try to break me and tear my walls down...I'll be strong as a warrior, no fear in my eyes will be shown
Yeah...you try to chase away my positivity, but darling, I'm getting outta your torture town
Verse 6: But I'm below the universe above me
Why don't you show me how to be truly free
You told me not to roam too far away, but I was heading towards my abode
You made me outta silver, diamond and gold...I was your personal favorite ode
Pre-chorus: You whispered lullabies in my keen ears
When I was drowning in my tears,
You lifted me up above the ground where I knelt down, gravity-bound and doing nothing much
My prayer was answered the moment you found me and kissed me - oh how I missed your touch
Chorus: I'm here to stay...above under night after night and day after day
To my dismay, the clouds are dreary and gray as can be today
You're here to prey...
Upon my helpless soul, Sensitive to your eyes, burning like black coal
Yeah, you're a predator that hunts me down
I'll keep smiling the pain away and wearing my upside down frown crown
Ooooh ooooh mmmm
Ooooh ooooh mmmm
Yeah...you try to break me and tear my walls down...I'll be strong as a warrior, no fear in my eyes will be shown
Yeah...you try to chase away my positivity, but darling, I'm getting outta your torture town
Bridge: I convinced myself that you were my one-of-a-kind paradise road
You were my gorgeous Rapunzel, but now you're a hideous toad
I regret carrying all of your load on my shoulders and back
You lied to me by telling me my life with you is on track
To happiness beyond reason and logic
I gave you pleasure beyond measure
Your divine love was my marvelous magic
Now, I'm left on my own to find my heart's cure
Above the heavens, the Angels are echoing their hymns of hope and praise
Under the hells, the Demons are calling for us with their insidious, sinister ways
We're above under these sad, yet joyous days
We're above under the peaceful, yet chaotic moon-rays,
Disguised as sun-rays and it secretly preys
Upon our precious, delicate lives...our souls goes their separate ways
Oh how it strays
Now we look up to shadows, reflections
We look down upon our infinite woes, rejections
