Bright Eyes - We Are Free Men Lyrics
Well, the future spills its intangiblesAn unknown set of variablesA path that's splitting infinitely up aheadSo tell me what's the use to pick and chooseFrom what you should or shouldn't do?That's time spent better sleeping in your bedOr wide awake in a shopping mallTrying clothes on from off of the wallYeah, anything to entertain yourselfCause a costume can be quite comfortableIt can make you feel more beautifulIt can even make you look like someone elseBut it's still you, so there's nothing you can doLike a bad habit, the one you couldn't kickThere it always isAnd it's nothing that no doctor's gonna fixThey pat your back bruised with their accoladesAnd all four walls are a trophy caseBut that doesn't make it any less of a cageBut you can make it all less difficultBy embracing the ephemeralThen you'd never have to worry or explainCause if it's really all just physicalThen my memory's immaterialSo why then do I remember you at all?But I do, I do, my friend, I've seen your faceWe shared a cup, I know the tasteIts sweetness is relentless on my lipsSo help me drink in everything that isLike a freed convict, drunk on redemptionFrom the way I've beenWell I swear this time that things will be differentWell, right and wrong, they have never been that far apartFor those who'd write that sentence where you hangWe will be lifted up from all of thisYeah, we will transcend the insignificance of our existenceYeah your body's gone, but angel you will liveNow your body's gone, but angel you will live
