Fox Stevenson That Choice Lyrics

[Intro]
Okay

[Verse 1]
Just dropped in from the daydream
You know I always gotta cause a big scene
Gotta make everything about me
I've been like this since I was like thirteen
So let me bend your ears while I got them
What is it you're really trying to run from?
I guess that's the thing about problems
While you ignore them, then you ain't got none
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what a wonderful way to live
Cold, magnifying the things I did
I know something has got to give
I wait for the veil to lift

[Chorus]
And oh, I'm feeling that choice in the way
I'm feeding that void every day
I'm screaming your voicе in my brain
It's more than I can take, and
Oh, I'm feeling that choice in thе way
A little blockade in my brain
Whatever comes next, I pray
It isn't more than I can take, yeah

[Verse 2]
Always late to the party
So everybody might look upon me
Show 'em something better than I might be
Force-feed a narrative, sell 'em what they wanna see
Wait, maybe that's the way I put the walls up
No one ever gets to get a close-up
That's the way illusions get bust up
Life's been a breeze, so long as I kept the front up
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, don't make me reflect on things
Avoiding it all is an easy win
No way can the loneliness settle in It's my choice to pretend to be king

[Chorus]
And oh, I'm feeling that choice in the way
I'm feeding that void every day
I'm screaming your voice in my brain
It's more than I can take, and
Oh, I'm feeling that choice in the way
A little blockade in my brain
Whatever comes next, I pray
It isn't more than I can take, yeah

[Verse 3]
The person inside underwhelms me
So I pretend I'm something else entirely
A person who's better than me at everything
Rather you'd know that other guy instead of me
It's funny how it took so long to realize
I thought I was alone in trying to live lies
Maybe everyone's a person being hid behind
Would we all be so alone if we empathized?
[Bridge]
Whoa, a depressing epiphany
I know you so far as you'd let me see
We're both different people way underneath
What happens when those people meet?

[Chorus]
I don't know, I'm feeling that choice in the way
I'm feeding that void every day
I'm screaming your voice in my brain
It's more than I can take, and
Oh, I'm feeling that choice in the way
A little blockade in my brain
Whatever comes next, I pray
It isn't more than I can take, and

[Outro]
Oh, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Ooh, yeah
