Down on Luck

Bad luck follows like a shadow in the dark

Good deeds gone punished left me with no spark

I try to shine but the world's a bitter place

Life keeps insisting put that scowl on my face

Running through the days with a bag of heavy stones

Every step I take feels like I'm breaking bones

Trying to do right but wrong's an easy deal

Why does being good always steal my zeal

Short of the goal every single time

Luck’s a cruel joker loves to mime

Trying to be good feels like a twisted game

Life's a rude host no one's to blame

Promises I make get washed away in rain

Fighting uphill battles always ends in pain

Smiling through the struggle feels like a masked crime

Why does life insist I’m beating out of rhyme

I scream at the clouds where's the justice here

All I get back is an echo of my fear

Maybe being a villain is what it takes

To thrive in this world full of high stakes

Short of the goal every single time

Luck’s a cruel joker loves to mime

Trying to be good feels like a twisted game

Life's a rude host no one's to blame
