May The Odds Be In Your Favor

I'm doing my best
So sick of feeling low
I'm holding onto my distant dreams
Get lost in all I know
Wish I was playing shows
Cause there's a whole world to be seen
I've gotta find some hope
Cause my lifeline is killing me
Discouragement's got my back
Can I get rid of it when patience's wearing thin?
Been force-fed
Words they said

Don't cross the line
Stay here confined and play it safe
Not worth your time
To chase a fantasy, this life is all you need
Swallow your pride
No chance you'll die a rarity
Why even try?
The odds aren't in your favor to be a speculator

Don't wanna go to work
It doesn't seem to work out for me
Nightmares that reoccur
And I've been feeling sure
That I can choose my own destiny
I've been stuck in a blur
But now I'm seeing in clarity
There's more than this
And I want it all
I've got a new point of view
I'd like to grow but I am
Still force fed
Words they said

Don't cross the line
Stay here confined and play it safe
Not worth your time
To chase a fantasy, this life is all you need
Swallow your pride
No chance you'll die a rarity
Why even try?
The odds aren't in your favor to be a speculator

I won't go down
Stuck in this town
Mistaken when everybody's around
It's up to me
Set myself free
Changing the rules cause I'll
Be who I wanna be

I'll cross the line
Won't be confined to play it safe
It's worth my time
To chase a fantasy, that life is all I need
Indulge my pride
I swear I'll die a rarity
Certain to try
The odds aren't in my favor but that just makes it greater
