[Verse 1]
My pain is self-chosen, at least, so the prophet says
I could either burn, or cut off my pride and buy some time
Ahead full of lies is the weight, tied to my waist

[Chorus]
(PLAY PART 1 UNDER)
The river of deceit pulls down, oh
The only direction we flow is down
(PLAY CHORUS PART 2 UNDER)
Down, oh down, down, oh down
Down, oh down, down, oh down
[Verse 2]
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
[Repeat chorus]
[Verse riff]
The pain is self-chosen, yeah
Our pain is self-chosen
Down, oh down...
