Would You Rather

It's never gonna be the same Is that okay Give me a minute I've got to wrack my brain And come to terms Though it sounds absurd Decide what's worse A life alone, or one stuck playing in reverse Call it what it is Shallow, performative penance A pittance in the ocean of unrest Leave it in the lurch Decide what's worse A life you choose, or one you actually deserve The lesser evil isn't hard to see Blindfold aside, it's obviously Compassion, not your callous disbelief It's time to decide who you'd rather be It's never gonna be the same It's not okay Just ten more minutes Ultimatums have to wait I know it hurts Inducing your rebirth Decide what's worse A life anew, or one you've already rehearsed The lesser evil isn't hard to see Blindfold aside, it's obviously Compassion, not your callous disbelief It's time to decide, who would you rather be I know what's worse Given the choice between the body losing warmth Beneath a malignant mass of uniforms And the good apples who watch it all go down In silence, to shield the brotherhood's crown There's nothing worse Than a murderer
