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 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 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

Heard it from another room Eyes were waking up Just to fall asleep Love's like suicide Dazed out in a garden bed With a broken neck Lays my broken gift Just like suicide When my last ditch Was my last brick Lent to finish her Finish her She lived like a murder How she'd fly so sweetly She lived like a murder But she died just like suicide I bit down on the bullet now I had a taste so sour I had to think of something sweet Love's like suicide Safe outside my gilded cage With an ounce of pain I wield a ton of rage Just like suicide With eyes of blood And bitter blue How I feel for you I feel for you She lived like a murder How she'd fly so sweetly She lived like a murder But she died just like suicide Yeah And my last ditch Was my last brick Lent to finish her Finish her With eyes of blood And bitter blue How I feel for you I feel for you I feel for you I feel for you I feel Oh, I feel for you Hey! She lived like a murder How she'd fly so sweetly She lived like a murder But she died just like suicide
