The Day I Tried To Live
I woke the same as any other day,
Except a voice was in my head.
It said seize the day, pull the trigger, drop the blade,
And watch the rolling heads.

The day i tried to live,
I stole a thousand beggars’ change,
And gave it to the rich.

The day i tried to win,
I dangled from the power lines,
And let the martyr's stretch.

Singing,
One more time around
Might do it,
One more time around
Might make it,
One more time around
Might do it,
One more time around,
The day i tried to live.

Words you say never seem
To live up to the ones
Inside your head.
The lives we make
Never seem to ever get us anywhere
But dead.

The day i tried to live,
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs.

I woke the same as any other day, you know,
I should have stayed in bed.

The day i tried to win,
I wallowed in the blood and mud with
All the other pigs.

And i learned that i was a liar,
Just like you.
