Scales of Life
One way or another
We play life's double down game
Love's dime to ensure childhood investment
On the way up
While age creeps
Creases the feathers in your sleep
A resilient waking to turning wheels and open skies
Out from the throne
Your desires thread my ascent
To sit and speak alone is a robber's grone
I know all the money drained and went
No fear gathers, lives just rinse
Fingers through the dirt searching
But the scales of life have no shape
