That Choice

[00:04.08] (Ahe-hem)
[00:05.24] ('Kay)
[00:06.31] Just dropped in from the day dream
[00:09.07] Y'know I always gotta cause a big scene
[00:11.92] Gotta make everything about me
[00:14.22] I've been like this since I was like 13
[00:17.44] So lemme bend your ears while I got them
[00:20.37] What is it you're really tryna run from?
[00:23.07] I guess that's the thing about problems
[00:25.29] While you ignore them then you ain't got none
[00:28.18] Oh, what a wonderful way to live
[00:33.62] Cold, magnifying the things I did
[00:38.82] I know something has got to give
[00:44.58] I wait for the veil to lift
[00:49.98] And, oh
[00:51.60] I'm feeling that choice in the way
[00:54.40] I'm feeding that void every day
[00:57.16] I'm screaming your voice in my brain
[00:59.93] It's more than I can take and
[01:01.66] Oh
[01:02.72] I'm feeling that choice in the way
[01:05.55] A little blockade in my brain
[01:08.15] Whatever comes next I pray
[01:10.88] It isn't more than I can take, yeah
[01:13.37] Always late to the party
[01:15.86] So everybody might look upon me
[01:18.77] Show 'em something better than I might be
[01:20.96] Force feed a narative, sell them what they wanna see
[01:24.12] Wait
[01:24.51] Maybe that's the way I put the walls up
[01:27.25] No one ever gets to get a close up
[01:30.04] That's the way illusions get bust up
[01:32.28] Life's been a breeze so long as I kept the front up
[01:35.05] Hey, don't make me reflect on things
[01:40.29] Avoiding it all is an easy win
[01:45.92] No way can the loneliness settle in
[01:51.18] It's my choice to pretend to be king
[01:56.63] And, oh
[01:58.68] I'm feeling that choice in the way
[02:01.35] I'm feeding that void every day
[02:04.13] I'm screaming your voice in my brain
[02:06.97] It's more than I can take and
[02:08.57] Oh
[02:09.75] I'm feeling that choice in the way
[02:12.56] A little blockade in my brain
[02:14.97] Whatever comes next I pray
[02:17.65] It isn't more than I can take, yeah
[02:19.88]
[02:31.36] The person inside underwhelms me
[02:34.02] So I pretend I'm something else entirely
[02:36.99] A person who's better than me at everything
[02:39.23] Rather you'd know that other guy instead of me
[02:42.55] It's funny how it took so long to realise
[02:45.24] I thought I was alone in tryna live lies
[02:48.08] Maybe everyone's a person being hid behind
[02:50.43] Would we all be so alone if we empathised?
[02:53.22] Woah, a depressing epiphany
[02:58.44] I know you so far as you'd let me see
[03:04.00] We're both different people way underneath
[03:09.68] What happens when those people meet?
[03:14.77] I don't know
[03:16.72] I'm feeling that choice in the way
[03:19.53] I'm feeding that void every day
[03:22.32] I'm screaming your voice in my brain
[03:25.11] It's more than I can take and
[03:26.89] Oh
[03:27.81] I'm feeling that choice in the way
[03:30.73] That little blockade in my brain
[03:33.07] Whatever comes next I pray
[03:36.05] It isn't more than I can take, yeah!
[03:39.72] No!
[03:42.32] Yeah!
[03:45.08] Oh!
[03:50.89] Oooh!
[03:53.50] Yeah!
[04:01.13]
