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
