The Day I Tried To Live



Lyrics

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 beggar's change
And gave it to the rich

The day I tried to win
I dangled from the power lines
And let the martyrs 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
(Might make it)
I tried to live, yeah

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, yeah

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
(Might make it)
I tried to live, yeah
I tried

I woke the same
As any other day, you know, I
Should have stayed in bed, yeah

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
(One more time around)
And I learned that I was a liar
(One more time around)
And I learned that I was a liar
(One more time around)
And I learned that I was a liar
(One more time around)

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
(Might make it)
I tried to live, yeah

Just like you
Just like you
One more time around
One more time around
(One more time around)
