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
