The Freest Man Lyrics - Tilly And The Wall

This boy I know, he has a heart of glass 

It is gold inside but it has crystalized 

It is beautiful but in its tragedy 

It is hard to hold without shattering 

He calls himself at night, softly over chords 

Keeps coming back to it his voice in echo chords 

Till the sound's so thick it turns the sky to smoke 

And the grayest days the predictions told 

But this boy I know, he is pure of soul 

He just gets lost sometimes in his chemicals 

Under a coat of night, it's oh, so comforting 

And that first breaking light becomes his enemy 

He calls so late tonight, it is 4 a.m. 

He is drunk, he can't find his apartment 

I don't like how it feels when I think of him 

All hooded in black, lost and stumbling 

The days start to fade out of the frame 

Like they're blurring into to someone else's name 

You try your hardest to do what it takes 

But you're prepared everyday, to make the same mistakes 

Step out of that life, it's nowhere near your time 

Just remember you called it all bullshit 

Well, it is and if you stop giving into it 

You can walk away the freest man 

This boy I know lives in a bell jar 

It is balancing upon its pedestal 

He tries not to upset the weight of conscience 

Afraid it's so far to fall if no one catches him 

But I've been there too and I swear to God 

If I can help you, please, you've got to tell me how 

I know you've been away and it can break you down 

And I don't want you gone 

All the cracks you see can be repaired 

And if you start to fall, we will be there 

Don't drown yourself in all your old regrets 

Because that heaviness will steal away your breath 

Step out of that life, it's nowhere near your time 

And don't forget that you called it all bullshit 

It still is and if you stop giving into it 

You will walk away the freest man 

Shake your head, loosen the grip 

Raise up your fist, you are the freest man 

Open your mouth, scream it out loud 

Forget all your doubts, you are the freest man
