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 won't drop
Wish they would so I could stop
Or give up, give in, take my hat off
Then I see the clock

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

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

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

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
