Try Lyrics


Another sleepless night, turn off my light
turn it off
Open my books, take in silence,
and wait for the dawn
Lock myself into place
Keep the sun off my face
When the morning comes
TRY to keep it all in sightForm one thought, break it off, take a breath,
carry on
You think you matter so much
that you're the only one
In your mind you're a star
that I can see from afar
Before you've even begun
to TRY to keep it all in sight
If you feel it then open your heart
No need to ask it what for
Blood runs cold when it's shut from the sun

So open your door and what's more, TRYWorked for years on their temples
to burn them all down
An angry horde disbelievin' set fire sacred ground
In its place they built tanks
Think, fish, and drunk tanks
And just to tear the sky down
They tried to conquer all in sight
Walled their cities as hight as they could
Kept them apart from themselves
Fought for ages and raged on the plains
with reasons misunderstood
but to the common good
Raised up their idols proteced their own walked on dinosaur bones
Spread a pestilent nature from mountain to sky
Until the rivers ran dry
and the rivers ran dry
that they ownedWatch the lights flash by my window
Throw ghosts on the wall
And every room in my house
answers back when I call
Trace the outline within
Trust in dreams to begin
TRY to keep it all in sight
And TRY to work it all out
TRY if you will, TRY if they won't
You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't
TRY

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
There are two artists named Billy Pilgrim;

1. Billy Pilgrim (also billy pilgrim) is an American folk-rock duo based in Atlanta, Georgia, consisting of Andrew Hyra and Kristian Bush. The band's name was taken from the time-traveling protagonist of Kurt Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse Five. The name was adopted in 1994; before that the duo simply billed itself as Andrew Hyra and Kristian Bush.

Kristian Bush and Andrew Hyra first began working together in 1990. After performing together for about a year they started recording their songs to tape. The self-release St. Christopher's Crossing was recorded in two days in a studio in Knoxville and appeared in 1991[2] (credited to "Andrew Hyra & Kristian Bush") on cassette. The album was released on CD in 1992 when Amy Ray of Indigo Girls helped them with the release costs. Playing hundreds of shows in the Southwest their effort was noticed and they proceeded to record their second album Words Like Numbers under the indie label Sister Ruby. After this they signed to Atlantic Records, naming the group "Billy Pilgrim". [3]

In 1993 Billy Pilgrim recorded their debut album at Nickel and Dime Studios with Don McCollister producing and Hugh Padgham mixing the record. The eponymous album was a moderate success when released in 1994. With the next album, Bloom, the band launched a fall tour, headlining larger venues than they had in the past. Yet in early 1996, the band was dropped by Atlantic. After releasing several albums thru Internet only, the album In the Time Machine became their last effort to date, released on May 12, 2001.[1] Billy Pilgrim are not currently active (2006), but no official disbanding has been announced.

2. Billy Pilgrim was the pseudonym used by itsu jitsu netlabel curator Jason Kavanagh between August 1999 and March 2001, all of the Billy Pilgrim material was written and recorded in St. Andrews, Scotland.

In his time as Billy Pilgrim, Jason recorded three albums of electronic music and a handful of 'various artist' compilation exclusive tracks before holstering his sampler and hanging up his patch cords for nearly ten years. In late 2009 he re-emerged from his non-music making slumber as awaycaboose (experimental, ambient, field recording) and Cavity Pitch (noise, harsh noise, power electronics).

Somewhat bizarrely he also took his moniker from the anti-hero of Kurt Vonnegut's seminal novel Slaughterhouse 5, just like the guys above. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
