Voices chase you like morals of stories
Given like the hand of a baseball fan
In the right place at the right time
To make a catch

To confuse luck for a good decision
Is to make a dangerous false association
Watch your own personal history
Crawl away from you in shame

I've disarmed myself enough times to know
I'm weak when I need to be
But if weakness can help me to be strong,
Then let me live through this
With some fight
So I can find something to keep

Or at least
Hang around long enough
To see if I don't get lucky
