The Day I Tried To Live - Between the Buried and Me

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 rollin' 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 martyrs stretch, yeah

Singin', «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)»

The day 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, oh

Singin', «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)»

The day I tried to live, yeah

I’ve tried

I woke the same as any other day

You know I shoulda stayed in bed, yeah

Ooh-woah-ooh-oh-oh-oh

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)

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

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

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

Singin', «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)»

The day I tried to live, yeah

Just like you

Just like you

One more time around

One more time around
