Like a fish climbing a tree

Like a fish climbing a tree

If I bare my heart out, that's the state I am

Forcing my gills to breath these dry air

Forcing my fins to push myself up those rough barks

This isn't me, I say

I'd tried my best, all these years, I swear

Those who'd climbed up, looked at me, puzzled

Whatever makes her climb so hard?

They shared their strategies, they told me their success stories

This isn't for me, I say

All I need is to find my way back to the sea

So I could finally breath like you're breathing

For you is to climb

For me is to swim

Holding a title I'd never felt belong to

A title made from tears

And experiences I never want to repeat
