My pain is self-chosen At least so the prophet says I could either burn Or cut off my pride and buy some time A head full of lies is the weight tied to my waist
The river of deceit pulls down, oh The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh, down Down, oh, down Down, oh, down Down, oh, down
My pain is self-chosen At least I believe it to be I could either drown Or pull off my skin and swim to shore Now I can grow a beautiful shell for all to see
The river of deceit pulls down, yeah The only direction we flow is down
Down, oh, down Down, oh, down Down, oh, down Down, oh, down
The pain is self-chosen, yeah Our pain is self-chosen
Down, oh, down Down, oh, down Down, oh, down Down, oh, down
