Hands over eyes, breathing in
Wash cold water over the signs
Distract and disguise, feel the switch go
Where are those pills I decided to hide?
Teasing my mind

It is a choice to be alright
It is a choice to be alive
So hot, you're sweating through the night
It is a choice to wrong the right
Desires just to much to fight
It is a choice to be alright

Just for tonight, giving in
That blanket just feels so right
It’s warmer inside, looking out those holes
I can see the shadow has taken over my life

Is there a choice to be alright?
Is there a choice to drop the vice?
Let's stand, not walk away tonight
It is a choice to be alright
There is a choice to be alive

Throw the dice and take a drink
Not much will be surprising me, ah, ah
Claim the sickness took you down
It's all in my head, it's all over now, ah
Covered with sickness and all the debris
It's time to wake up, it's time to believe, that's all

That I have a choice to be alright
There is a choice to be alive
When failure keeps you up at night
So every morning, I will try
I will never stop the fire
I have a choice to be alright
