Choices was written by Steph in November 1995. One of the first song we wrote with Jeff in the band. It was first released on the awesome compilation Upper east punk stories in early 1997.
lyrics
Why are we running today?
When we could find a new way
We must not wait for a chance
We may not get a new chance
Why are we wasting our time?
Trusting a luck that just binds
One by one we're all falling
And we are seeing the end!
Why don't we find a new way? `Choices`
We just can't live for another day
We have some choices to make
Do it at least for your own sake
It won't be easy, for you
Stewed and nothing to do
We all swallow a pill
A pill you don't know how to feel
So stop now wasting your breath
And stop now you're waiting for death
