A Given Choice Lyrics

A stormy day surrounds me
Angry at something somebody said
I let that energy drive me
It builds and wells inside me

I made a choice to ignore the voice
Something I now wish I hadn't done
I made a choice to ignore the voice,
and now my trouble has just begun

Ignoring what I knew in spite
In infrared, not ultraviolet light
I let that energy bind me
I let it build up to blind me

I made a choice to ignore the voice
Something I now wish I hadn't done
I made a choice to ignore the voice,
and now my trouble has just begun

Free will, a lock on the door
I must find the key once more
Lies and the pain, a poor decision I made
A dark night of the soul, allowing my ego
I must find a way to right this wrong
Now I pray and scream to God
to help me end this wicked game

I made a choice to ignore the voice
Something I now wish I hadn't done
I made a choice to ignore the voice,
and now my trouble has just begun
I made a choice to ignore the voice
Something I now wish I'd - wish I'd never done
I made a choice to ignore the voice,
and now my mind - my mind is on the run

A Moment in Chiros

A stormy day surrounds me
Angry at something somebody said
I let that energy drive me
It builds and wells inside me

I made a choice to ignore the voice
Something I now wish I hadn't done
I made a choice to ignore the voice,
and now my trouble has just begun

Ignoring what I knew in spite
In infrared, not ultraviolet light
I let that energy bind me
I let it build up to blind me

I made a choice to ignore the voice
Something I now wish I hadn't done
I made a choice to ignore the voice,
and now my trouble has just begun

Free will, a lock on the door
I must find the key once more
Lies and the pain, a poor decision I made
A dark night of the soul, allowing my ego
I must find a way to right this wrong
Now I pray and scream to God
to help me end this wicked game

I made a choice to ignore the voice
Something I now wish I hadn't done
I made a choice to ignore the voice,
and now my trouble has just begun
I made a choice to ignore the voice
Something I now wish I'd - wish I'd never done
I made a choice to ignore the voice,
and now my mind - my mind is on the run

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
