[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]
