Tried
Assemblage 23

I tried I failed to believe

In the reward I would receive

If only heaven's distant sun

Would burn away all the things I'd done


I tried to no avail

To keep my eyes from growing pale

But my vision came too late

And my belief started to abate


Like a tide recedes from rocky shores

I drew back no matter how much you implored

I have failed to see the beauty here

Everything I loved has disappeared


CHORUS

Worlds collide without a sound

And flames arise from frozen ground

But nothing can bring back my faith

You tried your best, but I'm afraid that it's too late


I looked into your eyes

For some sign of surprise

That I would question all of this

That I would stand upon that precipice


But the look would never come

As you just stood there growing numb

And your eyes dropped to the ground

In search of something I might find profound


Like a tide recedes from rocky shores

I drew back no matter how much you implored

I have failed to see the beauty here

Everything I loved has disappeared


(CH)


I tried I failed to forgive

For the life you made me live

A confusing ride at best

And at its worst it seemed so meaningless


If there's a lesson to be learned

Some sort of wisdom to be earned

It held too great a price

It required too great a sacrifice


Like a tide recedes from rocky shores

I drew back no matter how much you implored

I have failed to see the beauty here

Everything I loved has disappeared


(CH) x 2
