I will be the first to admit that I could not stand this band when they came out! I think that it was because too many people all jumped on the bandwagon at the same time. And to me, that is an instant turn-off with music. However, I recently got a chance to actually listen to them, and I have found that they have grown on me. Sure, they are weird..but everyone is a little weird.

Alright, their first album...bad. Just toooooo weird. LOL! Some of the songs on the second album were okay. Hopefully the 3rd album will be even better. Sincerely, Laurasia

And now for some lyrics:
"The Ghost Of You"--My Chemical Romance
I never said I'd lie and wait forever If I died, we'd be together I can't always just forget her But she could try
At the end of the world Or the last thing I see You are Never coming home Never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the things that you never ever told me And all the smiles that are ever ever... Ever...
Get the feeling that you're never All alone and I remember now At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies She dies
At the end of the world Or the last thing I see You are Never coming home Never coming home Could I? should I? And all the things that you never ever told me And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me Never coming home Never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
If I fall If I fall (down)
At the end of the world Or the last thing I see You are Never coming home Never coming home Never coming home Never coming home And all the things that you never ever told me And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me Never coming home Never coming home Could I? Should I? And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me For all the ghosts that are never gonna...

"Cancer"--My Chemical Romance
Turn away, If you could get me a drink Of water cause my lips are chapped and faded Call my aunt Marie Help her gather all my things and bury me in all my favorite colors, my sisters and my brothers, still, I will not kiss you, cause the hardest part of this, is leaving you.
Now turn away, cause I'm awful just to see cause all my hair's abandoned all my body, all my agony, know that I will never marry, Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo but counting down the days to go.
It just ain't living And I just hope you know that if you say, good bye today, I'd ask you to be true, cause the hardest part of this, is leaving you...
cause the hardest part of this, is leaving you...

"Welcome To The Black Parade"--My Chemical Romance
When I was a young boy, My father took me into the city To see a marching band.
He said, "Son when you grow up, would you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?" He said "Will you defeat them, your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?" Because one day I'll leave you, A phantom to lead you in the summer, To join the black parade."
When I was a young boy, My father took me into the city To see a marching band. He said, "Son when you grow up, would you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"
Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me. And other times I feel like I should go. And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets. When you're gone we want you all to know.
We'll carry on, We'll carry on And though you're dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on And in my heart I can't contain it The anthem won't explain it.
A woman sends you reeling from decimated dreams Your misery and hate will kill us all. So paint it black and take it back Lets shout it loud and clear Defiant to the end We hear the call
To carry on We'll carry on Though you're dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated Your weary widow marches On and on we carry through the fears Ooh oh ohhhh
Disappointed faces of your peers Ooh oh ohhhh Take a look at me cause I could not care at all
Do or die You'll never make me Because the world, will never take my heart You can try, you'll never break me You want it all, you wanna play this part I won't explain or say I'm sorry I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar Give a cheer, for all the broken Listen here, because it's only you I'm just a man, I'm not a hero I'm just a boy, who's meant to sing this song I'm just a man, I'm not a hero I -- don't -- care
We'll carry on We'll carry on Though you're dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on You'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated Your weary widow marches on We'll carry on We'll carry on We'll carry on We'll carry We'll carry on (Do or die, you'll never make me Because the world, will never take my heart You can try, you'll never break me You want it all, you wanna play this part) [x2]

"I Don't Love You"
Well, when you go Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay And maybe when you get back I'll be off to find another way
And after all this time that you still owe You're still the good-for-nothing I don't know So take your gloves and get out Better get out While you can
When you go Would you even turn to say "I don't love you Like I did Yesterday"
Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading So sick and tired of all the needless beating But baby when they knock you Down and out It's where you oughta stay
And after all the blood that you still owe Another dollar's just another blow So fix your eyes and get up Better get up While you can Whoa, whooa
When you go Would you even turn to say "I don't love you Like I did Yesterday"
Well come on, come on
When you go Would you have the guts to say "I don't love you Like I loved you Yesterday"
I don't love you Like I loved you Yesterday
I don't love you Like I loved you Yesterday

"The Sharpest Lives"
Well it rains and it pours When you're out on your own If I crash on the couch Can I sleep in my clothes? 'Cause I've spent the night dancing I'm drunk, I suppose If it looks like I'm laughing I'm really just asking to leave
This alone, you're in time for the show You're the one that I need I'm the one that you loathe You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose 'Cause I love all the poison Away with the boys in the band
I've really been on a bender and it shows So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?
Give me a shot to remember And you can take all the pain away from me A kiss and I will surrender The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead A light to burn all the empires So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be In love with all of these vampires So you can leave like the sane abandoned me
There's a place in the dark where the animals go You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo
I've really been on a bender and it shows So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?
Give me a shot to remember And you can take all the pain away from me A kiss and I will surrender The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead A light to burn all the empires So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be In love with all of these vampires So you can leave like the sane abandoned me [x2]

Keep 'em coming Brandybuck. "I Don't Love You" is a really good one. How about getting "Sleep" up here though?

Oh gods... "Ghosts of You" never fails to make me cry. It's that chorus... Couple that with the video, and I'm a sobbing mess for a week.

I know laiwing, I get the same day. That is definitly their most emotional video to date.
Laur..you read my mind (again). I was going to post that one today anyways. Here it is.
"Sleep"
Some say, now suffer all the children And walk away a savior, Or a madman and polluted From gutter institutions. Don't you breathe for me, Undeserving of your sympathy, Cause there ain't no way that I'm sorry for what I did.
And through it all How could you cry for me? Cause I don't feel bad about it. So shut your eyes, Kiss me goodbye, And sleep. Just sleep.
The hardest part is letting go of Your dreams.
A drink for the horror that I'm in, For the good guys, and the bad guys, For the monsters that I've been. Three cheers for tyranny, Unapologetic apathy, Cause there ain't no way that I'm coming back again.
And through it all How could you cry for me? Cause I don't feel bad about it. So shut your eyes, Kiss me goodbye, And sleep. Just sleep.
The hardest parts The awful things that I've seen.
Just sleep. Just sleep. Just sleep. Just sleep. Just sleep. Just sleep.
Screaming Wake up! Wake up!

"The End"
Now come one come all to this tragic affair Wipe off that makeup, what's in is despair So throw on the black dress, mix in with the lot You might wake up and notice you're someone you're not
If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see You can find out firsthand what it's like to be me So gather 'round piggies and kiss this goodbye I'd encourage your smiles I'll expect you won't cry
Another contusion, my funeral jag Here's my resignation, I'll serve it in drag You've got front row seats to the penitence ball When I grow up I want to be nothing at all!
I said yeah, yeah! I said yeah, yeah!
C'mon C'mon C'mon I said (Save me!) Get me the he** out of here (Save me!) Too young to die and my dear (You can't!) If you can hear me just walk away and (Take me!)

"Helena"
Long ago Just like the hearse you die to get in again We are so far from you
Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate The lives of everyone you know And what's the worst you take (worst you take) from every heart you break (heart you break) And like the blade you stain (blade you stain) Well I've been holding on tonight
[Chorus] What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight
Came a time When every star fall brought you to tears again We are the very hurt you sold And what's the worst you take (worst you take) from every heart you break (heart you break) And like the blade you stain (blade you stain) Well I've been holding on tonight
[Chorus] What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight
Can you hear me? Are you near me? Can we pretend to leave and then We'll meet again When both our cars collide?
[Chorus] What's the worst that I can say? Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight And if you carry on this way Things are better if I stay So long and goodnight So long and goodnight

"I'm Not Okay (I Promise)"
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way. For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took, Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?
I'm not okay I'm not okay I'm not okay You wear me out
What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems? (I'm not okay) I told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means (I'm not okay) To be a joke and look, another line without a hook I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look!
I'm not okay I'm not okay I'm not okay You wear me out
Forget about the dirty looks The photographs your boyfriend took You said you read me like a book, but the pages all are torn and frayed
I'm okay I'm okay! I'm okay, now (I'm okay, now)
But you really need to listen to me Because I'm telling you the truth I mean this, I'm okay! (Trust Me)
I'm not okay I'm not okay Well, I'm not okay I'm not o-f******-kay I'm not okay I'm not okay (Okay)

I have a habit of doing that don't I Brandybuck? I'm really glad that you already had Cancer up there. That's another of my favorites. It touches me in a very personal way, as does Ghosts of You - so I agree with both of you on that song as well. ;D
