Fortune Teller

Sat with a psychic
Just for fun
Said in a past life I was your son
We worked on the water as fishermen
But centuries later I’d fear the ocean

My last incarnation I was your sister
Trying to shield you from our father
In this timeline I'm your daughter
In this life I miss my mother

So that’s why I call up fortune tellers
Just to tell me it all gets better
I was aching for an answer
That death is not forever

The lines on my palms reveal too much
Like where I’ve been and who’ll I’ll touch
With fingers clasped I’ve prayed for love
I’ve bruised knuckles in vengeance

The universe is mapped in our grasp
We lead our lives by this plan
In the stars we chose the hand
Dealt to us

That’s why I call up fortune tellers
Just to tell me it all gets better
I was aching for an answer
That death is not forever
