I  hope that our few remaining  friends
Give  up on trying to save  us
 I hope  we come up with a failsafe  plot
 To piss off  the dumb few that forgave  us
I  hope the fences we mended
Fall  down beneath their own weight
 And I hope  we hang on past the last  exit
 I hope  it's already too late
 And I  hope the junkyard a few blocks from here
 Someday burns down
 And I  hope the rising black smoke carries me far away
 And I never come back  to this town again
 In my life  I hope I lie
 And tell everyone  you were a good wife
 And I hope you die
 I hope we both  die
I  hope I cut myself shaving  tomorrow
I  hope it bleeds all day long
 Our friends  say it's darkest before  the sun rises
 Well we're  pretty sure they're all wrong
I  hope it stays dark forever
I  hope the worst isn't over
 And I  hope you blink before I  do
 I hope  I never get sober
 And I hope  when you think of me years down the line
 You can't  find one good thing to say
 And I hope  that if I found the strength to walk out
 You'd stay the hell out of my way
 I am drowning  there is no sign of land
 You're all coming down with  me (yeah yeah) hand  in unlovable hand
 And I hope you die
 I hope we both  die
