I would rather...

I would rather be stone than flesh

I would rather be dark than light

I would rather be lost than found

I would rather fall than fly

I would rather sink than swim

I would rather lose than win

I would rather choose to fail

I would rather choose my life

I would rather choose

I would rather do anything

I would rather

But I can't

I can't help but fly

I can't help but shine

I can't help but live
