Time to change has come and gone
Watched your fears become your God
It's your decision
It's your decision
Overwhelmed, you chose to run
Apathetic to the stunned
It's your decision
It's your decision
You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lie
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside
No one plans to take the path that brings you nowhere
Here you stand before us all and say "it's over, it's over"
It might seem an afterthought
Yes it hurts to know you're bought
It's your decision
It's your decision
You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lie
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside
It's your decision
It's your decision
No one plans to take the path that brings you nowhere
Here you stand before us all and say "it's over, it's over"
It's over
About This Song
"Your Decision" explores themes of personal accountability and the destructive consequences of avoiding responsibility. The song addresses someone who has chosen fear and apathy over facing difficult truths, ultimately harming relationships through their choices. Musically, it showcases Alice in Chains' signature heavy, melodic style with dark, introspective lyrics typical of their work. As part of their comeback album after Layne Staley's death, it demonstrates the band's continued ability to craft emotionally powerful alternative metal.
