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
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
