(scream)
Theme
Now I understand (ha, ha, ha)
Now I understand (ha, ha, ha)
Theme going on and on and on
Its not the same anymore
No, never, never no
Wish
Wish
Wish I could die
Now walk alone
Now walk in drain
Does not compute
Not a cliche
And I wish I could die (ha, ha, ha)
Random
There is only one reaction
You must never underestimate
And I wish I
And I wish I could die (ha, ha, ha)
Now understand
Now I understand
It doesnt matter no more
Another leap in the dark
I will survive
And I wish I could die
And I wish I could die
And I wish I
I wish I
I wish I could die (ha, ha, ha)
Its only excuses
Never mistaking
Rhyme or reason
No, never no never
And I wish I could die
And I wish I
And I wish I could die (ha, ha, ha)
I wish I could die
Understand
Themes going on
On and on and on
I wish I could die
No, never no more
Does not compute
Walk alone out of the drain
Its not cliche
Wish I
Wish
Wish I could die
And I wish I could die (ha, ha, ha)
And I wish I could die
On and on and on and on
Will survive
I wish I could die
I will survive
I wish I could die
Understanding doesnt matter no more
Leap in the dark
I will survive
Wish I could die
Wish I could die
Wish I could die
Wish I could die
I just died
Terminal boredom
