Vacancy Songtext
von As I Lay Dying

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 (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


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 (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
