   I hope that our few remaining friends
   Give up on trying to save us
   I hope we come up with a fail-safe 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
   
   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
   And 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

     @prettygood it's one of those songs that i never understood until i went through it myself, now it just cuts me deep. in a lot of ways my relationship with my girlfriend became so miserable that i came to hate her and myself and everything else about life in general, but for some reason i couldn't let go of her no matter what happened, and eventually the misery became comforting in it's weird rock bottom kind of way. and now that she's gone i can't bring myself to hate her anymore. i still cried for her when she died. it seems absolutely nonsensical to think about it from a distance but now i look back and realize the song captures every complicated contradictory emotion i felt at the time.
