Chorus 1

Today is the greatest, day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow, tomorrow's much too long
I'll burn my eyes out
Before I get out

Verse 1

I wanted more
Than life could ever grant me
Bored by the chore
Of saving face 

Chorus 2

Today is the greatest, day I've ever known
Can't live for tomorrow, I might not have that long
I'll tear my heart out
Before I get out

Verse 2

Pink ribbon scars
That never forget
I tried so hard
To cleanse these regrets
My angel wings
Were bruised and restrained
My belly stings 

Interlude

To-day is
To-day is
To-day is
The greatest da-y      

Bridge

I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you on
I want to turn you

Chorus 3

Today is the greatest 
Today is the greatest day
Today is the greatest day that
I have ever really known
