Lyrics
From Kurt Cobain's Journals (page 91, partial lyrics, transcribed by DN member BleachedBlack)

Pick me pick me, yeah
Let a low long signal
At east at least yeah
Everyone is hollow
Pick me pick me, yeah
Everyone is waiting
Pick me pick me yeah
You can(scrubbed out and I Will is written over it. This is also scribbled out and you can is written beneath) even pay them
Hey Dive Dive Dive Dive in me

Kiss this kiss that yeah
Let a low long signal
At ease at ease yeah
You could be my hero
Pick me pick me yeah
Everyone is waiting (waiting and hollow are scrubbed out, waiting is written after the scrubbed out parts)

Hit me hit me yeah
I'm real good at hating
