Blog in Lyrics [The Mountain Goats]

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

I hope it stays dark forever
I hope the worst isn't over
And I hope you blink before I do

And I hope when you think of me years down the line
You can't find one good thing to say

Hand in unlovable hand

And I hope you die
I hope we both die

i am going to make it through this year
if it kills me
i am going to make it though this year
if it kills me

I wondered if I'd wake to find myself in flames
As I waited here for you

well I see you've resorted to petty theft.
you try to take something from me,
but there's nothing left.

i don't like what i've turned into
there's a hole in my chest in the spot that you wormed out through

You smile at me in total defiance of all decency
You’ve got it down to science
That innocent look
You’ve got it practiced real good
But I know you’d kill me if you could stand the sight of blood

and I tried to figure this one out but I can't find any meaning
and I'm sick and tired of trying to figure out your gestures

I can see you in my sleep

It was lovely, it was awful,
It was that kind of feeling

On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time
I felt free and I felt lonely and I felt scared
And I began to talk to myself almost immediately
Not being used to being the only person there

i made my invocation with my eyes on fire.
you were there at the window.
you are a god damned liar.
let the house come down on me.
let the house come down on you.

everything i've told you was true
so imagine my surprise when i blink my eyes
and realize that i've been talking to you
and i've told you everything
even the parts i'd meant to leave out

And there was a time when you wanted me so bad it was eating you up inside
But this time has gone away

if i ever want to drive myself insane,
all i have to do is watch you breathing
