We are free men

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
