Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I woke up 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

[Verse 2]

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, yeah

[Verse 3]

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

The day I tried to live

[Verse 4]

Words you would 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

[Verse 5]

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

The day I tried to live, yeah

I've tried

[Verse 6]

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

I learned that I was a liar

I learned that I was a liar

I learned that I was a liar

[Verse 7]

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

The day I tried to live, live

Just like you

Just like you

One more time around

One more time around
