Paths Chosen Lyrics

Visualize, what these visual eyes have yet to show me

I wish I could see those old friends, but they're laying beneath the 40

33, god damn, just hope I can make it to 40

Cause I've caused so much damage, that my body is singing the oldies

No longer the old me, I cashed in, on change that rang in my pocket

I had to switch up, so I won't be a picture inside a locket

I plotted, then planted the seed, just watched my roots grip

Powdered my hands, I reached for the bar, no longer a loose grip

Let the noose slip, closed fist, pressure upon my chest

Heart, ready to give out, who is next to contest

Send me the best, which path do you choose

Go to the light, or dwell in the shadows

From bad habits to damned addicts, warm linens to a worn mattress

Silverware to some fine plastics, and some daydreams that turn to dark fashion

Never really wanted that mansion, just a stable house with strong traction

No cocaine and no clapton, just turned the page on this chapter

Never defined a master, just put foot to that concrete

Stood ground when I bared teeth, and kept close eyes on my enemies

Trying to find my reflection, maybe I need some divine intervention

Some way to define all my symptoms, shine light through that veil I've been given

I know something's got a hold of me, maybe addiction took control of me

Don't wanna go back to the old me, somebody show my soul to me

Too many folks couldn't follow the signs, maybe it's depression that I tried to deny

Is it hard head, the reason I defy

Every last person trying to show me the light

I don't know, I don't wanna open my eyes

Cause I'm afraid to find out, what's waiting on the other side
