We Are Free Men Lyrics

Well, the future spills its intangibles

An unknown set of variables 

A path that spliten infinitely up ahead 

So tell me what's the use to pick and choose 

From what you should or shouldn't do? 

That's time spent better sleeping in your bed 

Or wide awake in a shopping mall, trying clothes on from off of the wall 

Yeah, anything to entertain yourself 

'Cause a costume can be comfortable 

It can make you feel more beautiful 

It can even make you look like someone else 

But it's still you, so there's nothing you can do 

Like a bad habit, the one you couldn't kick, there it always is 

And it's nothing that no doctor's gonna fix 



They pat your back bruised with their accolades 

And all four walls are a trophy case 

But that doesn't make it any less of a cage 

But you can make it all less difficult 

By embracing the ephemeral 

Then you'd never have to worry or explain 

'Cause if it's really all just physical, then my memory's immaterial 

So why then do I remember you at all? 

But I do, I do, my friend, I seen your face 

We shared a cup, I know the taste 

Its sweetness is relentless on my lips 

So help me drink in everything that is 

Like a freed convict, drunk on redemption 

From the way I've been 

But I swear this time, that things will be different 



Well, right and wrong, they have never been that far apart 

For those who'd write that sentence where you hang 

We will be lifted up from all of this 

Yeah, we will transcend the insignificance of our existence 

Yeah, your body's gone, but angel, you will live 



Yeah your body's gone 

Now your body's gone 

Now your body's gone 

Now your body's gone 

Now your body's gone 

Now your body's gone 

Now your body's gone 

Now your body's gone 



Now your body's gone 

Now your body's gone 

Now your body's gone 

Now your body's gone 



Now your body's gone 

Now your body's gone 

Now your body's gone but angel you will live
