GET A CHOISE

Intro — guitar, low and dirty

Some things keep you warm.

Some things burn you out.

Verse 1

I spent my love on empty rooms,

On people who could never bloom.

I gave my time to hollow noise,

To women who don't know their own voice.

Pre-Chorus

I fed the fire that ate my bones,

And called it home.

Chorus 1 — 2 squares, heavy and locked

Love what loves you back.

Leave what leaves you black.

That's all.

That's it.

That's the path.

Love what loves you back.

Leave what leaves you black.

The rest is dust.

The rest is noise.

You don't get it back —

You just get a choice.

Verse 2

I used to think that pain was proof,

That suffering was the only truth.

But I was wrong — it's just a lie,

A way to keep the spirit dry.

Pre-Chorus

You don't owe the world your blood,

You owe it love.

Chorus 2 — 2 squares, same weight, a little more fire

Love what loves you back.

Leave what leaves you black.

That's all.

That's it.

That's the path.

Love what loves you back.

Leave what leaves you black.

The rest is dust.

The rest is noise.

You don't get it back —

You just get a choice.

Pre-Bridge — spoken-sung, low

The door is open.

The storm is near.

You can stay and rot —

Or walk out clear.

Bridge

Stay for what stays with you.

Feed what feeds you true.

If it drains the bone —

Let it go alone.

Guitar solo — raw, soaring, then falling back

Final Chorus — 2 squares, full weight, with a bang

Love what loves you back.

Leave what leaves you black.

That's all.

That's it.

That's the path.

Love what loves you back.

Leave what leaves you black.

The rest is dust.

The rest is noise.

You don't get it back —

You just get a choice.

Outro — fading, almost whispered

Love what loves you back...

That's it.
