BOOK ONE :
THE DAY I TRIED TO LIVE
I woke today , 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 beggars change and gave it to the rich . The day I tried to win , I dangled from the power lines and let the martyers stretch . One more time around might do it . One more time around might make it . The words you say never seem to live up to the ones inside your head . The lives we make never seem to get us anywhere but dead . The day I tried to live , I wallowed in the blood and mud with all the other pigs . One more time around might do it . One more time around might make it . 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 . One more time around might do it . One more time around might make it . The day I tried to live . Just like you . ( Lyrics from the song , The day I tried to live , by Soundgarden )
