Upside Down Definitions
MATTHEW MARTINEZ
This is how life comes to you
This is how life comes to you
It comes through
Slow death
Stolen breath
Torment and torture
Swollen face
Full disgrace
Blood stains all over
Sealed fate
Sealed graves
Death taking over
This is how life comes to you
This is how a king comes to you
It comes through
No rehearse
Peasant birth
Stables and mangers
Baby boys
Dying now
Imminent dangers
Royalty
On the run
Refugee strangers
This is how a king comes to you
This is how salvation comes to you
It comes through
Lost reign
Found pain
Giving of everything
Free life
Sacrificed
Friendly captivity
No release
Hands to feet
Bounded delivery
This is how salvation comes to you
This is how love comes to you
It comes through
Total risk
Wild pursuit
Painful infidelity
Broken trust
Broken flesh
Advocate for enemy
Perfect life
Sinful death
Symbol of abandon
This is how love comes to you
That is how Love came to you
