Scaled to Survive

I don't have to tell you what I'm thinking

You can already hear the songs I'm singing

I try to hide

I try to hide

The truth may be thin, but it yearns for the light

Thank you for laughing me into this portal

What you learned drowning taught me how to breathe

One ear to the earth

One ear to the sky

Reminds me that life is not a straight line

How do you let yourself feel all the pain?

So much is given, so much more to gain

You brought me here

The world on its side

Gave me a love, scaled to survive
