Ink Won't Keep You Afloat

🎶 "Ink Won’t Keep You Afloat"

---

You don’t learn to swim

by reading about water

No page can teach the panic

when your breath runs shorter

No book can brace your chest

for waves that won’t relent

Or the silence down below

where even prayers are spent

---

The ink is dry, the sea is not

And theory fades where courage ought

So dive in deep, don’t wait for more

You learn to live beyond the shore

---

You can study tides

by candlelight and flame

Quote the currents like a scholar

but it won’t win the game

When the ocean calls your name

it’s not memory that fights

It’s the muscle in your spirit

that keeps you through the night

---

The ink is dry, the sea is not

And theory fades where courage ought

So dive in deep, don’t wait for more

You learn to live beyond the shore

---

Let instinct write the lines

that books forgot to say

Wisdom lives in burning lungs

and salt that stings the way

---

The ink is dry, the sea is wide

You learn by sinking, not by pride

So dive in deep, and fight once more

You learn to live beyond the shore

---

You don’t learn to swim

by standing on the sand

You learn by letting go

and reaching with your hands
