The One That I Chose

All the years worked, can’t get em’ back
With myself made a pact
But now I wallow, life comes with some bitter pills to swallow
Hole grows deeper while I contemplate
Wallet empty like my face
Wanna give up, don’t ask today
Thought I could be saved but here I lay
Found out what it’s like to sleep the weekend away
Goals fell short, sweep the porch
Tears welled up but just wont drop
Wish they would so I could stop
Or give up, give in, take my hat off
Then I see the clock

Hook:
That’s my life, but it’s alright
It’s the one that I chose
That’s my life, but it’s alright
It’s the one that I chose

Wish I could say I’m the victim of circumstance
But I can’t, my life good
Got it better than so many should
Meantime none of it mine, so I continue to rhyme
I don’t know what’s right
Losing the fight
Foot sucked in, don’t know if I can win
How long will this take?
No one knows what I got at stake!
Sacrifices I make so they’ll be mourners at my make

Hook

Dramatic and over the top
I only really feel in waves
Fight it, push it out the way
Near always unaware till it hits
Crash heavy like a ton of bricks
Music solid but the future far from it
All in so fails cause a plummet
But I know I’m on the path I’m supposed to be on
Same time I’m all woebegone
Gotta feel it, sit and stew
Let the waves pass, they always do
