Lyrics and translation
Original
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 swore a thousand vows of change and never turned to rage. Yeah.
The day I tried to win, I dangled from the power lines and were left for all to scratch. Yeah.
Saying one more time around, I might do it.
One more time around, I might make it. One more time around, I might do it.
One more time around, I might make a day.
I tried to live, yeah.
The 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. Saying one more time around, I might do it.
One more time around, I might make it. One more time around, I might do it.
One more time around, I might make a day.
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.
I learned that I was a liar. I learned that I was a liar.
I learned that I was a liar. Saying one more time around, I might do it.
One more time around, I might make it. One more time around, I might do it.
One more time around, I might make a day.
I tried to live, yeah.
Just like you. Mm.
Just like you.
One more time around.
One more time around
