it said sieze the day, pull the trigger, drop the blade and watch the rolling heads the day i tried to live i stole a thousand begger's change and gave it to the rich the day i tried to win i dangled from the power lines and let the martyrs streatch 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

throw yourself away give me little bits of more than i can take if it sits upon your tongue or naked in your eyes give me little bits of more than i can try 4TH OF JULY shower in the dark day clean sparks diving down cool in the waterway where the baptized drown naked in the cold sun breathing life like fire thought i was the only one but that was just a lie cause i heard it in the wind and i saw it in the sky and i thought it was the end i thought it was the 4th of july pale in the flare light the scared light cracks and disappears and leads the scorched ones here and everywhere no one cares the fire is spreading and no one wants to speak about it down in the hole jesus tries to crack a smile beneath another shovel load and i heard it in the wind and i saw it in the sky and i thought it was end thought it was the 4th of july now im in control now im in the fall out once asleep but now i stand and i still remember your sweet everything light a roman candle and hold it in your hand cause i heard it in the wind and i saw it in the sky and i thought it was the end i thought it was the 4th of july LIKE SUICIDE heard it from another room eyes were waking up just to fall asleep loves like suicide dazed out in a garden bed with a broken neck lays my broken gift just like suicide and my last ditch was my last brick left to finish her finish her bit down on the bullet now i had a taste so sour i had to think of something sweet loves like suicide safe outside my gilded cage with an ounce of pain i wield a ton of rage just like suicide with eyes of blood and bitter blue how i feel for you i feel for you she lived like a murder how shed fly so sweetly she lived like a murder but she died just like suicide -- "If I let you, you would make me destroy myself. In order to survive you, i must first survive myself. and I can sink no further...and i cannot forgive you."... "I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain. I'll use my mistakes against you. there's no other choice." - Tool
