The last thing on my list of things to do is try dying If you wanna live forever, then you will die trying Inevitable like the weather, there's no use in lying Death makes life worth living, so stop crying
[Verse 1]
Are you listening? Are your ears open for christening? Cause I'm pissing in the very same well you've been wishing in 'Til it's glistening Ain't a nice image but it's a clear one Listen hear son This ain't dismissive, this is fearsome
Fearsome fearsome I fear some things But I don't fear death, or other natural rumblings Paranoia wrapped up In loosely factual fumblings The end is never how I go from your day with fun things
Feel the need to be the one right now to highlight Nothing of significance will happen in your life Damn that feels harsh! I guess it's why we fly Into every headline of fear-mongering lies
The sky is falling! (Nah it ain't it's just rain) The sky is falling! (Nah na-nah it's barely spitting) The sky is falling! (The sky ain't falling, everything remains the same, you've still got work in the morning)
You can't hide from the hearse ride Whoever said that shit could reverse lives You can't hide from the hearse rides You can't hide from the hearse rides You can't hide
[Refrain] x 7
Who's that waiting down by the graveyard? Who's that waiting down by the graveyard? Who's that waiting down by the graveyard? Nah it ain't me, nah it ain't me
[Hook]

From the album Distraction Pieces, “Try Dying” is a reminder of death’s inevitability, and a recommendation to recognize this. Herein Scroobius Pip implores the audience to, rather than avoid this fact, embrace it and live accordingly.
