To kill, the whitest looking dove
To hate, oh, everything I love
And I'm trying to pretend
Oh, in wanting life to end
That I am not another stupid
Little teenage fucking whore

And now I know
And we will see
And now I know
And we will see

To take, this handgun to my eyes
And watch, oh, my cells start to rise
The flesh now starts to break
As the bullet enters like a snake
And goes through one side of my head
And out the other one

And now I know
And we will see
And now I know
And we will see

And I'm (and I'm) too scared (too scared)
To live (to live) tonight
And I'm (and I'm) too bare (too bare)
To shed (to shed) my plight

And I'm too scared to live tonight
Too bare to shed my plight!
(Please tell me I'm not wanted)
(Please tell me I'm not wanted)

Watch the bones rip through my flesh
A catharsis of my own distress!
(Please tell me I'm not wanted)
(Please tell me I'm not)

And now I know
And we will see
And now I know
And we will see

    General Comment:I want to say this song doesn't have anything to do with love.

    I mean really just read it again, while listening to it.
    It is about someone who feels completely scared of what the future holds and what's to come because of the past they've had and the life they lead. So they just want to die, and they don't want to hurt anyone. But they're so tired of being second guessed and underestimated.

    i love this song.
    it explains a part of me not many know.

    General Comment:Wow I can't type.

    This song's about feeling so discusted and sick of yourself, along with nobody wanting you anymore, that you'll do anything to prove to yourself you're not what you think you are, even suicide.

    [thanks alot, laptop >_>]

    General Comment:Wow. This song is incredible and look at the insufficent amount of comments. Psht. Some people don't know good music.

    This song songs about like feeling so discusting and sick of yourself, along with not being wanted anymore, that you'll do anything to prove to prove to yourself that you're not, even suicide. That's what I get from it.

    General Comment:jesus christ... DISCUSS THE MEANING OF THE DAMN SONG. if your post is going to be "THIS BAND ROX!!!22@!!1!!!" or "Self explanatory" DONT FUCKING POST.

    At any rate- the song is kind of crap to me, the same as every other suicidle emo song, I love emo music, but the ones about suicide get to be really repetitive. This one is, in perteicular, about what's left behind- to hate everything I love.
