Choose You

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

Choose, you, you
