[Hook] We always have a choice At least I think we do We can always use our voice Thought this to be true [Verse 1] I get up every time I'm knocked down Time flies by that's why the face on the clock is a frown I can't help but feel this way as the days get longer The weeks go by slower and the pain gets stronger In many ways I feel like a coward When it rains it pours, I anticipate showers Holding my head, trying to stay sane But we all know umbrellas cost more in the rain Nothing seems clear, path is uncertain Tired of the struggle, fed up with the hurting Everyone around me seems like they're doing just fine They got the memo, wonder why I never got mine This wishing well's overflowing with coins Half the argument is just knowing the point Half the fight is just showing up I won't settle for just growing up, I need to evolve [Hook] [Verse 2] Clairvoyance is an issue In the fog of war, the bullet points can miss you The fight's an ongoing struggle Hard to see past the curvature when you're trapped in a bubble Success, on the periphery Come back home, friends looking at me differently It's all relative, depends how you define it You can't get to the top of the ladder if you never bother to climb it In too deep without going for broke A dream without hope is like fire with no smoke A bet on tomorrow is risky today But I would rather go all in and let the chips fall where they may In a sea of misery, I set sail Knowing I made all the right moves but still destined to fail I want something more than what you can provide Since fate doesn't exist, it's on me to decide [Hook] [Verse 3] Sometimes, faith isn't enough That feeling was caught too many times abusing my trust They say things take time, patience is vital Nothing wrong with playing it safe if it warrants survival But what's the point if the choices aren't yours? Tired of living based on what's behind closed doors Perception's based on what you've been through And I always (thought this to be true) now I know it [Hook]2x
