The Freest Man

There's a 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 at night, in soft overchords Keeps coming back to it his voice in echo chords Till the sound's so thick it turns the sky to smoke And the greyest days the predictions told But this boy I know, he is pure of soul Just get's 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, also stumbling The days start to fade out of the frame Like the blurring end 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 isn't if you stop giving into it You can walk away the freest man There's a boy I know lives in a bell jar 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 --- The Freest Man - Tilly and the Wall
