Verse1
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
Chorus
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
Verse2
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've seen your face
We shared a cup, I know the taste
Its sweetness is relentless on my lips
Chorus
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
Chorus2
Well, right and wrong, they have never been that far apart.
For those who'd write that sentence where you hang.
We will be lifed, up from all of this.
Yeah, we will transcend the insignificance of our existence.
Yeah, your body's gone, but angel, you will live...
