Looking Up From Down Lyrics

Got a ticket to ride

I'm on my own

Could go inside where it's warm

But in my own world

(Yeah)

I feel home

Lonely but peaceful

It's where I hide myself

From all these people

Though I share blood

I feel see through

Which does scare me

To be the real me

Guess I need to (uh)

Some find it simple

But in my mental

Iv'e been convinced to

It's an issue

This really not how I pictured me

When I was old n' grown

Used to think differently

By this age I'd have a clue

But nothing makes sense to me

In my room

Every night praying it comes soon

Though I assumed some things

Would work out eventually

It's how I learned

To pursue things endlessly

But that ain't new

Feeling me

(Huh)

Can't stay still

It never did sit with me

Def- definition of liberty

I'm the epitome

I got some tendencies

Habits that limit me

I am the enemy

Blocking myself from growing to anything

Iv'e been running to a place to be found

Since a youngin' I knew I would leave the ground

(Yeah)

For my whole life

My hearts been up in the clouds

For my whole life

I've been looking up from down

I'ma diamond I've been shining bright yeah

Yeah yeah yeah uh

Brightly shining in the sky up high yeah

Yeah yeah yeah uh

Look in the mirror at my eyes

Reflects my soul

They seem dull

Like this dark cloud full of demons

Reign control

But this angel in my life

Brings me light she's pure gold

(Yeah)

Put faith in God

I go through adversity for my benefit

Gotta stay patient

Cause I know it's imminent

Nothing is infinite

Only a moment and I wanna live in it

Shoot for success or build up regrets

Regardless it's all the same I gotta live with it

(Uh) I've won some battles

Still turning pages

Around my wrists still got these shackles

It's hard to handle

But that's what change is

(Yeah)

Where I find myself

Lost locked in cadges

Is the same place that I feel safest

Ain't it strange it's where answers hide

Within the plainness

(Uh)

We rather blind to simplicity

Looking behind what's in front of our faces

I know a choice can be dangerous

Self-destruct or choosing greatness

Iv'e been running to a place to be found

Since a youngin' I knew I would leave the ground

(Yeah)

For my whole life

My hearts been up in the clouds

For my whole life

I've been looking up from down

I'ma diamond I've been shining bright yeah

Yeah yeah yeah uh

Brightly shining in the sky up high yeah

Yeah yeah yeah uh
