Precarity Rules Worriers

I didn’t take you for the gambling type
I thought precarity was neither of our styles
The ones I lean towards have got passions for days
But when life hits you hard they are the ones to run away

I wasn’t obligated, I wasn’t tied
I was my navigator eyes opened wide
Some things you didn’t see and some things I didn’t know
Except the joys and relief every time you came home

It seems no consequence to you, so please explain
How life so easily arrives and goes away?
You’ll get to know me over my grave

I climb the stairs and grit my teeth
Despite the nights spent and the abandoning
Unpack my clothes and hang some lights
Burning so many things. Building a space that’s mine

It seems no consequence to you, so please explain
How life so easily arrives and goes away?
You’ll get to know me over my grave
