lyrics

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.
