Choose You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The invention of the ship
Was the invention of the shipwreck
I tried to find out who I was
By jumping off the deck
I intentionally clipped the intervention like a trip wire
Picked a color, tried to bribe the bygone back into its bed
And I don't, I won't, I don't choose you, you
Underneath the Christian court
There was this saying in the bricks
That you don't determine greatness
By a man's intelligence
No you won't determine greatness
Till you really start to dig
And you find out all those empty things
That he lets discourage him
And I don't, I won't, I don't choose
And I don't, I won't, I don't choose you
I tried to walk away
You broke the cast and tried to say
I am not the man you knew
I am not the man you choose
So you're back to back a wasted age
I tried to plead, you tried to pray
I am not the man you knew
I am not the man you choose
And I don't, I won't, I don't choose
And I don't, I won't, I don't choose you
You, you, you
