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
