Vacancy

Lyrics

[Intro: Tim Lambesis] We live in slavery To a past we cannot escape And I say it's worth it To just start again Again [Guitar Solo] [Verse 1: Tim Lambesis] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1: Tim Lambesis] 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 [Chorus 1: Josh Gilbert, Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis] This vacancy Will take everything This world can offer But what is control Once we have let go Of all we suffer? [Post-Chorus: Tim Lambesis] ...Once we've let go [Verse 2: Tim Lambesis] When we've awakened To admit we are all enslaved Then there is freedom In our choice to disobey [Pre-Chorus 2: Tim Lambesis] 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 [Chorus 2: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both] This vacancy Will take everything This world can offer But what is control (What is control) Once we have let go (We have let go) Of all we suffer? [Bridge: Tim Lambesis] We live in slavery To a past we cannot escape So, I say it's worth it To just start again [Refrain: Tim Lambesis] We've let go We've let go We've let go Yeah! [Chorus 3: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis, both] This vacancy Will take everything This world can offer But what is control (What is control) Once we have let go (We have let go) Of all we suffer? [Post-Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis] We can't escape We can't escape We can't escape We can't escape [Outro: Tim Lambesis] So, I say it's worth it To start again
