As on the day I finally die
As on the day I finally die


I'll give you want
I'll give what you want
Even though it makes me gag
Even though it makes me gag
Quirky personal
Quirky, personal
Songs sung from an emo fag
Songs sung by an emo fag


You'll never be as satisfied
You'll never be as satisfied
As on the day I finally die</poem>
