[Bridge] I'm lucky to be under The same sky that held The exhale from your first breath Like a ring on a pillow of clouds By you my tongue may stutter But my gift heart screams clear and swells To burst between the wrapped lengths Of its bowed ribbon cell
[Chorus] Anna & Nathan Anna & Nathan Anna & Nathan I'm patient But your painted pony is fading Lost like a snakeskin in high grass And out there thrashing like a pet bird caught in a jet stream, that's me Your count them blessings because your net worth oughta be less cream in your best dreams But God put a song on my palm that you can't read I'll be embalmed with it long before you'll see

“Fatalist Palmistry” is the most optimistic song on Alopecia. Although it references topics of death, it doesn’t exhibit the dark and lonely overtones and anxiety-ridden lyrical content to the extent of the rest of the songs on the album.
The song is driven by the bouyant bass-line and Yoni delivers a catchy melody for the majority of the track.
