The emo song

My life is spiraling downward. I couldn't get enough money to go to
the Blood Red Romance and Suffocate Me Dry concert. It sucks
cause they play some of my favorite songs like "Stab My Heart
Because I Love You" and "Rip Apart My Soul" and of
course "Stabby Rip Stab Stab" And it doesn't help that I couldn't
get my hair to do that flippy thing either - like that guy from that
band can do - some days you know..."

I'm an emo kid, non-conforming as can be
You'd be non-conforming too if you look just like me
I have paint on my nails and makeup on my face
I'm almost emo enough to start shaving my legs
Cause I feel real deep when dressing in drag
I call it freedom of expression, most just call me a fag
Our dudes look like chicks and chicks look like dykes
Cause emo is one step below transvestite

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo
I don't jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo
I'm dark and sensitive with low self esteem
The way I dress makes everyday feel like Halloween
I have no real problems but I like to make believe
I stole my sister's mascara now I'm grounded for a week

Sulking and writing poetry are my hobbies
I can't get through a Hawthorne Heights album without sobbing
Girls keep breaking up with me, it's never any fun
They say they already have a pussy, they don't need another one

Stop my breathing and slit my throat
I must be emo
I don't jump around when I go to shows
I must be emo
Dye in my hair and polish on my toes
I must be emo
I play guitar and write suicide notes
I must be emo

"My life is just a black abyss... ya know...it's so dark. And it's
suffocating me, grabbing a hold of me and tightening its grip, tighter
than a pair of my little sisters jeans...which look great on me by the
way."

When I get depressed I cut my wrist in every direction
Hearing songs about getting dumped gives me an erection
I write in a live journal and wear thick rimmed glasses
I tell my friends I bleed black and cry during classes
I'm just a bad, cheap imitation of goth
You can read me "Catcher in the Rye" and watch me jack off
I wear skin tight clothes while hating my life
If I said that I like girls I'd only be half right

I look like I'm dead and dress like a homo
I must be emo
Screw XBox I play old school Nintendo
I must be emo
I like to whine and hate my parentals
I must be emo
Me and my friends all look like clones
I must be emo

"My parents don't get me ya know.
They think I'm gay just because they saw me kiss a guy - well, a
couple guys - but still, I mean it's the 2000?s, can't two - or 4 -
dudes make out with each other without being gay. I mean, chicks
dig that kinda thing anyways. I don't know diary, sometimes I think
you are the only one that gets me. You're my best friend. I feel like
tacos."
