(back to intro part and continue for second half)

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow 
I hope it bleeds all day long 
Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises 
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 
Yeah 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'd 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 are coming down with me Hand in unlovable hand 
And I hope you die 
I hope we both die
