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
