When the day was done
All our promises were broken
And trouble stained the sun
I stood there with no reason

I was trying to untie
My tangled soul was aching
I saw you passing by
Your beauty like my anger

'Cause being alive means to die
Over and over
Like animals, we're trying to survive
'Cause being alive means to die
Over and over
I know at least I tried

And when the night was gone
All my confidence was stolen
The past seemed very long
I seem to have no reason

Trying to unwind
The knots tied up inside me
I missed you in the fog
Your silence like my anger
'Cause being alive means to die
Over and over
Like animals, we're trying to survive
'Cause being alive means to die
Over and over
I know at least I tried
