Try

Billy Pilgrim
Música y Letra: Billy Pilgrim


Another sleepless night,
turn off my light,
turn it on.

Open my books,
take in silence,
and wait for the dawn.

Lock myself into place,
keep the sun off my face.
When the morning comes
try, try to keep it all in sight.

Form one thought,
break it off,
take a breath,
carry on.

You think you matter so much,
that you're the only one.

In your mind you're a star
that I can see from afar.
Before you've even begun
to try, try to keep it all in sight.
If you feel it then open your heart,
no need to ask it what for.

Blood runs cold
when it's shut from the sun,
so open your door
and what's more, try.

Worked for years on their temples
to burn them all down.

An angry horde disbelievin'
set fire sacred ground.
In its place they built tanks.
Think, fish, and drunk tanks,
and just to tear the sky down,
they tried, they tried
to conquer all in sight.
Walled their cities
as hight as they could,
kept them apart from themselves,
fought for ages and raged on the plains
with reasons misunderstood,
but to the common good.

They raised up their idols
protected their own
walked on dinosaur bones,
spread a pestilent nature
from mountain to sky,
until the rivers ran dry
and the rivers ran dry
that they owned.

Watch the lights flash by my window
throw ghosts on the wall.
And every room in my house
answers back when I call.
Trace the outline within,
trust in dreams to begin
to try, to try to keep it all in sight.
And try, try to work it all out,
try if you will,
try if they won't,
you're damned if you do
and you're damned if you don't.

Try if you will,
try if they won't,
you're damned if you do
and you're damned if you don't.

Try.
