Paper planes, falling down, down— down. Into the starlight, that is upside down. In my heart, it’s beating one, two— three. The street lights are blinking, in the upside, down. My world is red, it's shadows. Raven black. The treetops are swaying, in the upside, down. Black on red, it’s pattern tartan plaid. Who’ll be my lover? In the upside, down. As above, so below. Touch me until my bones grow cold. I am a dream so, shut your eyes. And hold me close— in the upside, down. Till the music stops playing, and the sheet music is scrolled across my lungs. As though nothing could fail in the upside, down.

The Upside Down
Paper planes, falling down, down— down. Into the starlight, that is upside down. In my heart, it’s beating one, two— three. The street lights are blinking, in the upside, down. My world is red, it's shadows. Raven black. The treetops are swaying, in the upside, down. Black on red, it’s pattern tartan plaid. Who’ll be my lover? In the upside, down. As above, so below. Touch me until my bones grow cold. I am a dream so, shut your eyes. And hold me close— in the upside, down. Till the music stops playing, and the sheet music is scrolled across my lungs. As though nothing could fail in the upside, down.
