Lyrics[edit]

    I want to wake up in your
    White, white sun
    I want to wake up in your world
    With no pain
    But I'll just suffer in a hope to die someday
    While you are numb all of the way
    
    When you hate it you know you can feel but
    When you love it you know it's not real
    No
    
    And I am resigned to this wicked fucking world
    On its way to hell
    The living are dead and
    I hope to join them too
    I know what to do and I do it well...
    
    When you hate it you know you can feel but
    When you love it you know it's not real
    No
    
    Shoot myself to love you
    If I loved myself I'd be shooting you
