We’re in the bedroom, one of those nights. I can’t help but feel like I’m in the next room, waiting outside. Wondering in hindsight Could it all be undone? You, hanging on the tip of my tongue Be erased, or begun? Begun. So when the light comes, I’ll leave the lights on Looking for a back way out, way out, way out. I should’ve listened to my inhibitions, Now you’re telling me to stay out, stay out, woah. But when you pull me down hard, oh it’s harder to pretend I would never go back again. Lay on the threshold, holding your head I don’t even know how. A moment rests on things unsaid, If it never works out Could it all be a lie? Assume, but I never realize, I could be wrong All the time, the time, the time. But when the light comes, I’ll leave the lights on Looking for a back way out, way out, way out. I should’ve listened to my inhibitions, Now you’re telling me to stay out, stay out, woah. But when you pull me down hard, oh it’s harder to pretend I would never go back again. Hearts in a hailstorm Cards in a killzone Rudders in a maelstrom Tell me what you’re running from. Hearts in a hailstorm Cards in a killzone Rudders in a maelstrom Tell me what you’re running from, oh. So when the light comes,, I’d be the last one Looking for a back way out, way out way out. I should’ve listened to my inhibitionsl Now you’re telling me to stay; When you pull me down hard, oh it’s harder to pretend I would never go back, I would never go back again.

Walk away, walk away, there you go, Take away my dearest hope. Why am I the one who’s always hurt? Can’t you hold my breaking heart? Why am I the one who’s always broke? Standing here in shattered soul. Chorus: Floating helplessly, Drowning in this sea. Pull me up, help me out, take me down, and let me go, Break my heart, and hurt me endlessly. If he only knew, Then he’d know to hold me. What’s it take to make him want me? What’s it like to own your own dreams? Chorus I’m the one who owns my life. He’s the one I need. I can shake him, bend or break him, make his world complete. Wait til he’s not as strong as he thinks, Wait til he has needs. That’s when he’ll come crawl to me Finally he’ll see. Chorus (Repeat) Walk away, there you go. Take away my dearest hope

Everybody listen up to what I say, Call me young Marty McFly today. Spark up your reggae get shy today Know why today, still high today. Jacque he’s my main man puttin’ on airs, Couldn’t get laid at a county fair. Jacque went up to Dallas said I like your state. Dallas said to Jack let me set you straight, You can be this way, you can be like that, But you ain’t getting’ in when you hustle that crap. Time’s runnin’ out Jacque’s feelin’ grim, Played the real Jack BOOM finally got in. Bustin’ my rhymes cause I’m trying to be fat, You can be frat if you like it like that. You can GQ if you’re stylin’ like that, Haters PC when I’m trying to be Mac. Shy little girl on the cover of Vogue, Woman of the year, or you’re just stayin’ home. I know a girl some of you call ho, Grew up to be the mayor of a city you know. Cause everybody’s gotta play the hand they’re dealt, Gotta live their life by the way that it’s felt. Life’s too short to be posin’ svelt, Put your hands in the air as a crowd we melt. You can be this way, you can be that way, You can be any way, you can be anything.

about

Choices merges Electronic Dance Music and theatre into a new experience unlike any you've had at a club or in a theatre before. We smash the proverbial fourth wall and the action unfolds in and around the audience.

And the beat never stops. In Choices, the music drives the story, the words, and the action. Our soundtrack, our performance, and your experience. Download it, love it, learn it.

Then celebrate it with us May 2 and 3, 2014 at 9:30 p.m. in the Mallett Theatre on the campus of Purdue University.

Let the party begin.
