Choices Track

These picture-perfect lives shine
In stark contrast to mine
But things don't just happen to us
It's the sum of choices down the line

If I traveled back somehow
Confront my younger self in time
Provide some sage advice
Imagine how things could be now
But there's a paradox that's inescapable here
No use dwelling on the past

When it's set in stone
Engraved in time
And a life without regret
So rarified

The road ahead of us unwinds
And divides infinite ways
With every choice we stay afloat
In an exponential tide
And there's a paradox that's unavoidable here
Just a possibility

That it's set in stone
Engraved in time
If there’s a way without a will
Then who decides?
What’s set in stone
May still erode
And the chance to change it all
Is right here and now

When it’s set in stone
Engraved in time
If there’s a way without a will
Do we truly decide?
What’s set in stone
May still erode
And the chance to change it all
Is right here and now
There is only now
