I Try
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All I want is your understanding
As in the small light of affection
Why is this my life?
Is almost everybody's question
And I'll try
Everything but suicide
But it's crossed my mind
I prefer peace
Wouldn't have to have one worldly possession
But essentially im an animal
So just what do i do with all the aggression?
Well I'll try
Everything but suicide
But it's crossed my mind
Life is a one way street, aint it?
If you could paint it
I'd draw myself goin' in the right direction
so i go all the way like I really really but the truth is
I'm only guessing
And I try
Everything but suicide
Oh but it's crossed my mind
Just a thought
It's even dark in the daytime
It's not just good, its great depressin
When i was lost i even found myself
Lookin' in the gun's direction
And so I tried
Everything but suicide
But yes, its crossed my mind
... But im fine
