The Choices

[Intro] To be? [Verse 1] A thousand lies, a tangled thread, a truth that bleeds across the night My reflection, in this shattered pane, the fading echo of who I used to be Can forgiveness offer solace, oh so bittersweet? [Pre-Chorus] This self I've built, a crumbling wall, a single reminder [Chorus] The choices I made, etch themselves upon my soul A relentless fight, a haunting parade The choices I made, a yearning to be whole. A blatant failure, this is no masquerade I made terrible choices. Now I live with the voices. (Verse 2) Faded photographs, whispers in their frame, echoes of laughter, a life turned to blame. A mournful symphony, a constant undertow, shadows lengthen, forever my hooome. [Chorus] The choices I made, etch themselves upon my soul A relentless fight, a haunting parade The choices I made, a yearning to be whole. A blatant failure, this is no masquerade I made terrible choices. Now I live with the voices. [Bridge] Is there a pardon for burdens I bear? Can a whispered plea mend what's ripped and laid bare? Hope flickers faint where shadows reside, Washing away the tears I can't hide. [Chorus] The choices I made, etch themselves upon my soul A relentless fight, a haunting parade The choices I made, a yearning to be whole. A blatant failure, this is no masquerade I made terrible choices. Now I live with the voices. [End]
