That Choice

Lyrics

[Intro] 'Kay [Verse 1] Just dropped in from the daydream You know I always gotta cause a big scene Gotta make everything about me I've been like this since I was like thirteen So let me bend your ears while I got them What is it you're really trying to run from? I guess that's the thing about problems While you ignore them, then you ain't got none [Pre-Chorus] Oh, what a wonderful way to live Cold, magnifying the things I did I know something has got to give I wait for the veil to lift [Chorus] And oh I'm feeling that choice in the way I'm feeding that void every day I'm screaming your voicе in my brain It's more than I can take, and oh I'm feeling that choice in thе way A little blockade in my brain Whatever comes next, I pray It isn't more than I can take, yeah [Verse 2] Always late to the party So everybody might look upon me Show 'em something better than I might be Force-feed a narrative, sell 'em what they wanna see Wait, maybe that's the way I put the walls up No one ever gets to get a close-up That's the way illusions get bust up Life's been a breeze, so long as I've kept the front up [Pre-Chorus] Hey, don't make me reflect on things Avoiding it all is an easy win No way can the loneliness settle in It's my choice to pretend to be king [Chorus] And oh I'm feeling that choice in the way I'm feeding that void every day I'm screaming your voice in my brain It's more than I can take, and oh I'm feeling that choice in the way A little blockade in my brain Whatever comes next, I pray It isn't more than I can take, yeah [Verse 3] The person inside underwhelms me So I pretend I'm something else entirely A person who's better than me at everything Rather you'd know that other guy instead of me It's funny how it took so long to realize I thought I was alone in tryna live lies Maybe everyone's a person being hid behind Would we all be so alone if we empathized? [Bridge] Whoa, a depressing epiphany I know you so far as you'd let me see We're both different people way underneath What happens when those people meet? [Chorus] I don't know I'm feeling that choice in the way I'm feeding that void every day I'm screaming your voice in my brain It's more than I can take, and oh I'm feeling that choice in the way A little blockade in my brain Whatever comes next, I pray It isn't more than I can take, yeah [Outro] Oh, yeah Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh Ooh, yeah
