As I Lay Dying - Vacancy lyrics

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

When we've awakened to admit
We are all enslaved then there is freedom in
Our choice to disobey

Our creeds have become a justification
(justification)
To live the way that some see fit
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 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

We've let go we've let go
We've let go

This vacancy will take everything
This world can offer
But what is control once 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
