Bright Eyes - We Are Free Men lyrics

rate me

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
