Drowned in Gold

Choose love, choose tears
Choose burning everything that you are near
Choose hate, choose hypocrites who whisper in your ear
Choose faith, choose a loaded gun inside your pillowcase
Choose sex, choose something just for choosing something’s sake
Well maybe you deserve better
(Maybe you deserve better)
Cause the blues are forever
For the sons and the daughters, mothers and fathers
It keeps getting harder, keeps getting harder to live
Choose friends, choose scum
Choose to stick around for all the years to come
Choose wealth, choose all the awful things that you have done
Choose death, regret everything you wish that you had said
Choose trust, choose clinging on just because you must
Well maybe you deserve better
(Maybe you deserve better)
Cause the blues are forever
For the sons and the daughters, mothers and fathers
It keeps getting harder, keeps getting harder to live
Get yours, I got mine
No second chances, don’t you act surprised
This time, I’m bullet proof you won’t take me alive
Well maybe you deserve better
(Maybe you deserve better)
Cause the blues are forever
For the sons and the daughters, mothers and fathers
It keeps getting harder, keeps getting harder to live
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun
Staring down the barrel of a loaded…
