Lyrics:

I hope that our few remaining friends

Give up on trying to save us

I hope we come out 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 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

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

This is what happens when two people who should have gotten divorced a long time ago stay together for whatever reason and feel obligated to stay together. It's the ultimate nightmare marriage and they hate each other so much they figure that they might as well make the other as miserable as they are and just fucking hope for the worst.The say every child is hurt when their parents go through a divorce but in the end it's better than the neverending hell that they live through at least when they are divorced there is a point where you don't have to see them together anymore.

It's funny how how much this song sounds like the last conversation my high school "sweetheart" and I ever had, especially starting at the 1:40 point. She was a self-destructive, emotionally abusive bitch that for some odd reason I wasted two years of my life on. She had a horrible home life and I understand that. But that's no excuse for how she treated me. Jesus, she made me so cynical and unhappy. And what's funnier yet, is how I actually still feel sorry for her five years after I left, even after what she put me through. Goddamn empathy.....go the fuck away..

This song makes me want to cry so much because I think this is exactly how my parents feel about each other. Worse is the fact that I'm pretty sure they're like this because of me. I think I'm the only thing keeping them together, no matter how much they want to be apart. They don't want me to hurt so they're hurting themselves. And I'm so selfish, selfish because I'd rather they stay this way for me than leave each other.

I love the cathartic malice in this song. "And I hope we hang on past the last exitI hope it's already too late" "I hope you die, I hope we both die." The narrator has let hate consume them to such a degree that they've been left empty. He wants to destroy everything, including himself. That kind of numbing anger is poignant.

I saw this song's lyrics used together with Lapis Lazuli and Jasper from Steven Universe and after listening to it, I could not think of a song that works better if one was written specifically about them.
