[Verse 1]
Said that I'm afraid to die
With a pitchfork witty
And a man who sits up high
And I can hear the fire
I'm a dead dog sinner
And man too scared to try
And you're too close to call
I would sell my martyr
For the chance to hear you talk

[Chorus]
And oh no, I tried
And I tried
And oh no, I tried
And I tried

[Verse 2]
What if you could see my skin
Would you burn me moving
Would you make a match out of my head
What if you could touch my hand
Through the deep sweat sweating
For a guilty, guilty man
What if you could see my heart
Would you say "oh brother
You're the reason that we still don't fall
And the reason that we still don't starve"
[Chorus]
And oh no, I tried
I tried
And oh no, I tried
I tried

[Chorus]
And oh no, I tried
I tried
And oh no, I tried
I tried
And oh no, I tried
I tried
And oh no, I tried
I tried
