The Odds - Julia Marcell

You look like you could use a drink

Silence’s a cheat

Don’t let it sing

Don’t let it tell you what to think

Don’t let it fool you

That all of the odds

Are stacked against you

When all of your notions crack in the middle

All of your guesses vex you a little

Think of the odds

How out of the ordinary

We are here at all

All of the fights, all the rights, all the riddles

We are stuck in here

In this design

We could

See what it can do

Times we’ve been odd to one another…

Oh, how rare

A gift you are

Oh, I know we’re not always easy with each other

But come on

It’s worked this far

All of you notions crack in the middle

All of your guesses may vex me a little

But given the odds

How out of the ordinary

We are here at all

All of the fights, all the rights, all the riddles

I am stuck in here

In this design

With you

Let’s see what it can do
