Well, the future spills its intangibles

An unknown set of variables

A path that's splitting 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 quite 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'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

Well 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



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