the power of choice
is all i held on to
the pain in my voice
as i cried to you
knowing i had lost it
the power to choose
we are powerless and desperate
there’s nothing to do

 

circumstance is a b****
a ploy in the plot
a lazy man’s trick
to take the choice
from the protagonist

 

we can choose the least bad
we can choose given options
options chosen by circumstance

 

the power of choice
is all i held on to
the pain in my voice
as i cried to you
knowing i had lost it
the power to choose
we are powerless and desperate
there’s nothing to do

 

the situational tragedy
an impossible escape
characters bound to be
unable to wake
from this paralyzing dream

 

free will is our god
we’re lifelong believers till
the concept dissolves and we are lost

 

rediculous positions, impossible decisions
and yet is there a choice at all?
either way there is pain in my heart’s rhythm
either way ill be miserable
circumstance is a b****
what choice do we have
but to choose the path
of least resistance

 

leave it up to the fates
hearing them cry you chose this life
i scream the lives were the same
a false decision, I know it’s a lie
free will is a lie in this f***ing game

 

the power of choice
the illusion i lived through
the pain in my voice
as i cried to you
knowing the lie that is
the power to choose
we’ve always been powerless
there’s nothing to do

I really like these lyrics but haven't figured out a melody for them yet.  If I ever do, I'll post it on my YouTube channel.  UPDATE: I posted a video of the song! The link to my channel is in my profile description if you want to watch it.
