Vacancy

We live in slavery

To a past we cannot escape

And I say it's worth it

To just start again again

We've focused so long

On ideals of freedom

That it is this very belief

That oppresses us

We all want to be free

Yet we find ways to forfeit liberty

To our own impulses

To our own consumption

So I say it's worth it

To build a new foundation

A new foundation

A new foundation

A new foundation

It's a past we cannot escape

This vacancy

Will take everything

This world can offer

But what is control

Once we have let go

Of all we suffer

Once we've let go

Yeah when we've awakened

To admit we are all enslaved

Then there is freedom

In our choice to disobey yeah

Our creeds have become a justification

(Justification)

To live the way that some see fit

(Justification)

And no one is more hopeless

Than those blinded

By the scales of content

This vacancy

Will take everything

This world can offer

But what is control

(What is control)

Once we have let go

Of all we suffer

We live in slavery

To a past we cannot escape

So I say it's worth it

To just start again

Oh we've let go

We've let go

We've let go yeah

This vacancy

Will take everything

This world

(All that this world)

Can offer

(All that this world offers)

But what is control

(What is control)

Once we have let go

(We have let go)

Of all we suffer

We can't escape

We can't escape

We can't escape

We can't escape

So I say it's worth it

To start again

Vacancy - As I Lay Dying
