Well, the future spills its intangibles An unknown set of variables A path that split 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 Because 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 going to 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 Because 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 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
