Lyrics[]
[Verse]
It fucking sucks to be awake
Oh, Lord, I pray my soul to take
Nobody understands because-
everything they hate-
is everything I love
[Pre-chorus]
Every night, every night I -
tell myself I'd rather die-
than heed your rage!
Go on and say it!
[Chorus]
When you hate me -
think it fixes you to break me?
I'll never fight you back because-
everything you hate is everything I love
When you hate me -
think it fixes you to break me?
I'll never fight you back because -
everything you hate I love
[Outro]
(Vocalization)
