The First Selfish Choice

[Intro: Atmospheric, distorted synth swells, ominous piano] [Verse 1] Time doesn't ask if you’re hurting or if you’re fine. It just flows along its path, driven to move on. Only forward. And you should move forward too. In that current, neither good nor evil are weighed. It flows because it must. [Verse 2] So when the past has already played its part, Standing still is no way to survive. Walking away from what no longer holds you isn't a mistake. Moving on is the only truth. If time won't stop for anyone, Why should we let the world bring our lives to a halt? [Chorus: Epic, Anthemic Rock energy, rising strings] Through joy or through pain, life is meant to be lived. Otherwise, it’s not "living for yourself" at all. I’ve finally found my reason. To tear off the mask and change everything I’ve ever been. A reason to breathe again. In that very moment, time truly began to flow, I felt the weight of my choices—but the sting is gone. To feel no pain means it can be endured. [Bridge: Emotional, Piano solo with heavy reverb] "You are my freedom, you are my choice." I whisper it softly to their hearts. Always have been, always will be. If I cannot live for myself, I will always live for them. My Daimon, my familiars. The two daughters of my soul. A scream echoed by my existence, my first selfish choice. [Guitar Solo: Melodic, high-pitched harmonics, bluesy phrasing] [Outro: Industrial electronic beat, fading to silence] All the silence within me fades into a constant act of love for them. Even when the mind tries to kill the heart, whispering "you are alone," There hasn't been a single second where I felt lonely.
