No Matter How Hard You Try

hang around

you hang around

like a city full of setting suns

and here's to your health

then drown yourselves

to render the disappointment stunned

and the city sleeps

while others creep

trying to shake the night's mistakes

unlike every face

caught in the race

i am not ashamed

'cause in the back of my mind

is a feeling so glad

there is a stillness

untouched by human hands

and a voice that sighs

"oh, you won't get out

of this world alive

no matter how hard you try

try, try"

(no matter how hard you try

no matter how hard you try)

can't sleep

oh i can't sleep

so i send a message down the wires

as the hurt spins and the air begins

my thoughts will secretly conspire

to find the way to change my days

to find the bit of higher ground

unlike every day

that falls away

i will face the sun

'cause in the back of my mind

is a feeling so glad

there is a stillness

untouched by human hands

and a voice that sighs

"oh, you won't get out

of this world alive

no matter how hard you try

try, try"

(no matter how hard you try

no matter how hard you try

no matter how hard you try)

no, you won't get out of this world alive

(no matter how hard you try)

no, you won't get out of this world alive

(no matter how hard you try)

no, you won't get out of this world alive

(no matter how hard you try)

no, you won't get out of this world alive
