Downsides Lyrics by Oceans Ate Alaska

Lost Isles

2015

Life’s not as bad as you make it out to be
Reach out… the world is at your feet
You can’t dwell on your feelings, in a city that never sleeps

Stop dreaming
Start believing in yourself

Wake the fuck up, break through the walls
Drop your fears
Control was never lost, it’s always been here

Because I am...

I’m walking on thin lines of broken glass every night
You have no idea, you have no idea…
About all the fucked up shit that runs through my mind
Keep your head up son and look on the bright side
Stop weighing up the downsides of life and you’ll be just fine
You’ll be just fine

In this concrete jungle, you’ve got to fight to stay alive
Burn bridges in order to survive
Opportunity is your only ally, and shut your mouth it’s your only alibi. But the worst part about this is I can’t fully describe it
These problems and issues - are not mine
I can’t help you, it’s up to you

Stop dreaming, start believing
Show no weakness and hide your feelings

I’m walking on thin lines of broken glass every night
You have no idea, you have no idea…
About all the fucked up shit that runs through my mind
Keep your head up son and look on the bright side
Stop weighing up the downsides of life and you’ll be just fine
You’ll be just fine

I’m walking on thin lines of broken glass every night
(Stop weighing up the downsides of life)
You have no idea…
About all the fucked up shit that runs through my mind
(Keep your head up son and look on the bright side.)
You have no idea, you have no idea…
