Lucky

Like trying to read a wet letter,
It gets worse before it gets better.
Feels like it's been forever,
I'm the luckiest man alive.

Digging through landfill with a silver spoon.
Somewhere down here is a chunk of the moon.
No time to sleep cos I'll find it soon.
I'm the luckiest man alive.

Fifth time this week that I've run out of steam,
I know where I am but don't know where I've been.
Raised over mud like a Royal Palanquin,
I'm the luckiest man alive.

One of these days I will live for myself.
Spend all my energy on my mental health.
Make space for my gender to come out of stealth.
I'm the luckiest woman alive.
