Choose

I'm standing at the precipice Looking over all of this A lifetime of missteps and mistakes I've thought of steeping out of it Throw in the towel, it's time to quit But never had the fortitude that takes To sleep Perchance to dream But that ending is Not quite what it seems I could regret the way the past betrayed me Or embrace the future that saves me I chose to go on I've traced it all back to the source A congregation of remorse These mortal sins can never be repaid Though the lesson has been learned The damage can't be overturned My conscience is forever decayed
