[Intro]

Left to devices

All of my own innovation

To the screaming end

Of what has always been

Whenever the dying is calling

I will go

I will go

To last reasons jagged edge

[Chorus]

Now I know for what I am

Is wrong again

[Verse 1]

Out by the ledge

Out of reach

Further now to

A close beyond

[Refrain]

Why are we trying to live

When all we know

Is just how to die (How to die, how to die)

[Pre-Chorus]

Left to abide defeat

In the long gone past

Not knowing this might be

What will tip the scales

Still nothing will fail me

As I am going through

The line simply

Must be crossed

[Chorus]

Now I know for what I am

Is wrong again

[Verse 2]

I hear the dark

Smell the fear

Nil at hand

But a close beyond

[Bridge]

I never brought anybody

To where our faith is gone

I am the last unrepentence

Bringing down the hail

Of storm and fire

Now for once I am on my own

Must make a final decision

Against this driving force

Or else I will find it

All in vain

I never asked to be challenged

The pain I bear is mine

And mine alone

[Chorus]

Now I know for what I am

Is wrong again

[Refrain]

Why are we trying to live

When all we know

Is just how to die

[Outro]

Why are we trying to live

When all we know

Is just how to die
