By No Legs Octopus
I'm glad that you are but I wish that you wouldn't
You'll never be better even if you survive
You might not be dead but you won't be alive
I want you to try but I think that you shouldn't
Do you know, you have a choice?

So used to being dealt it you play with a smile
seems so normal to you that you take it in stride
So much pain that you can't even open your eyes
Yet I wonder if it even crosses your mind
If you know, you have a choice


CHORUS:
You say that you know
How us left behind
Will be so sad below
While you're pain free up high

Once again you'll be whole
That's what you believe
But you only think of those
Who'll be shattered by grief

So you fight to the death
To be with us here
If you choose to instead, though
it's ok to leave


Eight years I've seen it rip your body to pieces
The cost of the love that the rabbit allowed
From velvet so soft to mesh plates, wigs & scars
You've suffered enough it's okay to want freedom
Do you know, you have that choice?

Remember when we couldn't say it out loud?
When your only concern was the good of the crowd?
While the four of us struggled to cling to the ground
Grace poise and peace you've faced it with so far
But you know, you do have a choice


CHORUS:
You say that you know
How us left behind
Will be so sad below
While you're pain free up high

Once again you'll be whole
That's what you believe
But you only think of those
Who'll be shattered by grief

So you fight to the death
To be with us here
If you choose to instead, though
it's ok to leave


Silently slipping, over and over again
While I listen to the troubles of others
My mind numb my eyes swim with images of my mother
Only the club wears the lenses of dread
Knowing she'll go, by force or by choice

I'm at war cause she's dealt with enough hurt
More than anybody else could have weathered
So I can't ask for one more second from her
Though my heart will forever be altered


BRIDGE:
And the world will be
so dark, so empty
so cold, so sad
When there's no more choice to be had

My world will be
so dark, so empty
so cold, so sad
When there's no more choice to be had


CHORUS:
You say that you know
How us left behind
Will be so sad below
While you're pain free up high

Once again you'll be whole
That's what you believe
But you only think of those
Who'll be shattered by grief

So you fight to the death
To be with us here
If you choose to instead, though
it's ok to leave

If you choose to instead, though
it's ok to leave
