Even odds
Don’t confuse fate and circumstances
Don’t ever think that you have it made
And don’t rely on empty wishful thinking
Like “everything’s gonna be okay”
‘Cause when it’s not
It finds you so unprepared
It hits hard
And leaves you struggling for air
With no plan
To get back up on your feet
I found a hidden truth
Here’s one thing that I learned about myself
Given even odds one thing’s for sure
I’ll fuck it up somehow
When duty calls somehow I know
I won’t rise up to the task ahead
And I can promise you that
Looking back it seems pretty funny
But not funny in a funny way
That you’d believe, just ‘cause you don’t know better,
That everything’s gonna be okay
When luck runs out
That’s if you ever had it
You’re on your own
And I was hardly ready
To take charge
And take care of business
Like everybody else
