Life and Pain

Intro

The voices in my head start to collide

One speaks of truth, one speaks of lies

They battle for control as time goes by

I'm caught between wisdom and compromise

Chorus

Two characters in my brain

One leads to light, one leads to pain

Not about what I feel

But what is real

I make my own bed in the end

The choice is mine to comprehend

Post-Chorus

Wisdom or folly, wisdom or folly

The choice defines me, the choice defines me

Verse 2

First voice is steady, calm and clear

Second voice, a reckless pioneer

One says "slow down, consider the cost"

The other screams "just jump or you've lost"

Not every impulse deserves my trust

Some roads lead nowhere but to dust

Pre-Chorus

So I weigh each word they say

As they pull me different ways

It's not my heart that I should heed

But what is right, what truth decrees

Chorus

Two characters in my brain

One leads to light, one leads to pain

Not about what I feel

But what is real

I make my own bed in the end

The choice is mine to comprehend

Post-Chorus

Wisdom or folly, wisdom or folly

The choice defines me, the choice defines me

Bridge

The sensible one whispers low

The questionable one puts on a show

But volume doesn't equal truth

And feelings fade as time proves proof[Chorus]

Two characters in my brain

One leads to light, one leads to pain

Not about what I feel

But what is real

I make my own bed in the end

The choice is mine to comprehend

Post-Chorus

Wisdom or folly, wisdom or folly

The choice defines me, the choice defines me

Outro

Day by day the battle rages on

Each decision shapes where I belong

The louder voice isn't always right

Sometimes truth comes in the quiet night

I'm learning to discern, to see beyond

The immediate thrill for what will last long

In the end it comes down to this

Choose the path of truth, not the abyss

End
