[Intro] (Dark piano melody, distant atmospheric wind) [Whispered] The Choice is on me... [Verse 1: Breathy, shaky vocals, vulnerable] People say that I’m an addict All I know is that I gotta have it I don’t care if it kill me I don’t care much about livin You see I got to fill this void and it is so fulfilling Until it leave me empty and I go to chase it And there is no one around me so I gotta face it You know these drugs is all I play with I call them my closest friends Even though they leave me dry And when no one’s looking all I do is cry Man I want to quit But it comes again Again... [Verse 2: Build-up] (Beat gets heavier, faster delivery) You know that feeling of wanting more And I get it and wake up on the floor I just want to be loved I want it to be how it was And I don’t want my brother gone Man I miss him but I gotta be strong You know some times I feel like super man After I get my next hit I am back at it again Again... again... [Bridge: Emotional Breakdown] (Music drops out, just piano and strings) Hopefully I’ll end up just like him And no longer exist No longer exist... You know I didn’t ask for this life I didn’t ask for all of this pain inside I didn’t ask for my life to be this way It sort of happened and now to hell with what you say! [Verse 3: Aggressive Climax] (Heavy cinematic drums, intense energy) The Choice is on me So I am mad at the world because I got a bad hand delt And I wake up and say nothing because you don’t know what I felt And it is a hard day to feel this way but hey, who cares anyways? My shoes are torn and battered And my soul and heart are beat up and shattered Who are you looking at? Only the outside you can really see My eyes are red, haven’t slept in days… Days.... [Reverb-heavy, haunting echo] Maybe I will get better… will ya’ll please pray? Pray... pray... [Verse 4: The Struggle] You know I need a Healer But I am mad at Him because He’s the ultimate Dealer Of this thing called life And I don’t agree with what I’ve seen So you know all I do is fight and strive with my Maker Even though I know He’s calling Even though I know that I’ve fallen I won’t let him catch me you see I’d rather die Die... [Outro: Breakthrough] (Music swells then suddenly quiet) Because He took the apple of my eye Apple of my eye... I don’t quite fully understand that my Master has a plan And that He has me in His hands And that my soul is in great demand For His works and His glory And that there are people just like me dying to hear my story Of how I made it out and How God set me free But the choice is on me I die in the chains wanting to be free But I strive inside the cell Fighting Reluctantly I peek... I see His hand reaching for me Angry... Broken... [Climax: Intense, aggressive, visceral raw vocals] Angry... Broken... I am... I am... I Am... I am... HE says... I AM! He shows me The choice is on me He shows me I hold the key Choices... Choices... (Spoken) Im sorry Jesus. Thank You for Your mercy. For saving him.
