The Freest Man Lyrics

This boy I know, he has a heart of glass
It is gold inside but it has crystalized
It is beautiful, but in it's tragedy
It is hard to hold without shattering

He calls himself out nightly, softly over chords
Keeps coming back to it, his voice and echoed chorus
Till the sound's so thick it turns the sky to smoke
And of greyest 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 all so comforting
And that first breaking light becomes his enemy

He calls so late tonight it is four am
He is drunk and can't find his apartment
I don't like how if 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 someones else's name
You try your hardest to rewind the tapes
But you're prepared everyday to make 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 manTilly and the Wall - The Freest Man - http://motolyrics.com/tilly-and-the-wall/the-freest-man-lyrics.html

This boy I know lives in a bell jar
It is balancing up on 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 you see can be repaired
And if you start to fall, we will be there
Don't drown yourself in all your old regret
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 your grip
Raise up your fist
You are the freest man
Open your mouth
Scream it out loud
Forget all the doubt
You are the freest man
