Taught you how to fly
Taught you how to grow
Taught you every skill
You’re an animal

Look at all I’ve done
Look at all you’ve won
Gratitude is gone
Why you so withdrawn

Saw your father chase
Saw your mother cry
Brother wasn’t sane
You chose to cut ties

You can’t ever run
Life’s a circle, child
Pain invests in you
You invest in lies

You can wear that suit
You can wear that smile
But you won’t ever be
Who you aren’t inside

Yeah, picking and choosing
Picking and choosing
This bond is soothing
This one, I’m bruising

Yeah, picking and choosing
Picking and choosing
This path, I’m cruising
This one, I’m losing

Desperation calls
You pick up the phone
Sell your soul for change
Self-worth’s overthrown

Find the love you need
She stands by your side
Unlock every door
You leave her behind

All the thrills you seek
All the pills you take
Every glass you pour
You’re still wide awake

Where’s that dream you had
What’s this lust you crave
Self-control has fled
You’ve become the prey

Yeah, picking and choosing
Picking and choosing
This girl’s amusing
