Oh No, I Tried Lyrics

Said that im 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 a man too scared to try

And you're too close to call
I would sell my martyr
For the chance to hear you talk

And oh no, I tried
And I tried

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 fall
and the reason that we still look starved"

And oh no, I tried
I tried

And oh no, I tried
I tried
