Vacancy Lyrics - The Powerless Rise - 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 

Yeah, when we've awakened 

To admit we are all enslaved 

Then there is freedom 

In our choice to disobey, yeah 

Photos 

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
