[Intro]
      
    

[Verse]
             
I hope that ou

        
r few remainin

g friends
             
Give up on try

       
ing to save us
             
I hope we come

           
 up with a fai

l-safe plot
             
To piss off th

              
e dumb few tha

     
t forgave us

             
I hope the fen

       
ces we mended
             
Fall down bene

              
ath their own 


weight
             
And I hope we 

              
hang on past t

   
he last exit
             
I hope it's al

          
ready too late

    
And I hope the

 junkyard a fe

w blocks from 

here

   Someday bur

ns down
    
And I hope the

 rising black 

smoke carries 

me far away
              
And I never co

             
me back to thi

        
s town again

[Chorus]
             
In my life, I 

       
hope I lie
         
And tell every

one you were a

 good wife
              
And I hope you

    
 die
              
I hope we both

       
 die

[Instrumental]
      
    

[Verse]
             
I hope I cut m

      
yself shaving 

tomorrow
             
I hope it blee

           
ds all day lon

g
             
Our friends sa

              
y it's darkest

   
 before the su

n rises
             
We're pretty s

              
ure they're al

  
l wrong

             
I hope it stay

          
s dark forever
             
I hope the wor

         
st isn't over
             
And I hope you

              
 blink before 


I do
             
And I hope I n

         
ever get sober

      
And I hope whe

n you think of

 me years down

 the line,
    
You can't find

 one good thin

g to say
        
And I'd hope t

hat if I found

 the strength 

to walk out
              
You'd stay the

              
 hell out of m

  
y way

[Chorus]
             
I am drowning,

              
 there is no s

       
ign of land
              
You are coming

      
 down with me

Hand in unlova

ble hand
              
And I hope you

    
 die
              
I hope we both

       
 die

[Outro]
