Die While You Try

Try to pick the lock
Try to pick your pain
Try to choose your journey
Again and again

Open the doorway
Open your heart
There is no beginning
But that's where you start

Try it once
And try it again
Try and try
Until you come to the end

And the end my friend
Is still around the bend
And the bend my friend
Leads straight to the end

Try
Until you die
Die
While you try

And all the while
Every desire
Wilts like a flower
And drops into a pile

And every dream
Every gleam in your eye
Sparkles and fades
As you

Try
Until you die
Die
While you try

Twiddle your fingers
Clap your hands
Anything to make you
Fall or stand

Light a candle
Take to the stage
Say what you must
And then turn the page

Plant an acorn
In your mind
Feel its roots spread
Until you're blind
And deaf
And dumb
And lost and alone
And everything
Come undone

Everything you try
Everything you deny
Every time you lie
When you say I
Or me, myself and my
Me, mine, fine, divine
Tree, treat, tryst and try
Fred said I would die
But Fred is a fucking liar
I'm so sick of Fred's fucking lies
I want Fred to fry
I'll stick a needle in his eye
And take
Everything over the line
But the line isn't well defined
And I'm going out of my fucking mind

God is divine
And mine

God is divine
And mine

Try
Until you die
Die
While you try
