Try or Give Up

Ba-dum Ba-dum

My heart beats hard and fast

A taunting reminder to my on-going life

Ba-dum Ba-dum

My heart going so fast 

Yet my body Moe's so slow

Ba-dum Ba-dum

Walking down this deserted hallway 

I feel as if I might collapse 

Ba-dum Ba-dum

The effort to walk is too much 

I'm so tired 

Ba-dum Ba-dum

This bathroom is full 

It won't do 

Ba-dum Ba-dum 

Visions of my life

I guess it really does flash before your eyes

Ba-dum Ba-dum

What might happen after? 

What will people think? 

Ba-dum Ba-dum 

What of the person who finds me 

Dead with nothing but a note? 

Ba-dum Ba-dum 

How did I get on the floor? 

I don't remember 

Ba-dum Ba-dum

I practice out the motions

It will all be over soon 

Ba-dum Ba-dum 

But what of all the things never done? 

The things I'll never get to say? 

Ba-dum Ba-dum

I shuffle through my pockets

I come out with a disassembled sharpener 

Ba-dum Ba-dum

What of my friends? 

What of my family? 

Ba-dum Ba-dum

My heart beats hard and fast 

A taunting reminder that I'm alive 

As I walk back to math
