[Verse 1]
And we can run from the backdrop of these gears and scalpels
At every hour goes the tick-tock bang of monitors
As they stared us down when we met in the emergency room
And in our beds, I could hear you breathe with help from cold machines
Every hour, on the hour, they drew blood
Well, I felt I couldn't take another day inside this place
From silent dreams we never wake and in this promise that we'll make
Starless eyes for heaven's sake, but I hear you anyway

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I thought I heard you say, "I like you, we can get out
We don't have to stay, stay inside this place"

[Chorus]
Someday, this day, we kept falling down
Someday, this day, set the Ferris wheel ablaze
You left my heart an open wound
And I love you for...
This day, someday, we kept falling down
One day, this day, all we had to keep us safe
And if we never sleep again
It would never end

[Outro]
Well, I thought I heard you say to me, "We'll go so far, far as we can
And I just can't stay, one day we'll run away!"

My Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romance is an alt/punk/hardcore rock band that produced four studio albums and a compilation album over their initial twelve-year lifespan from 2001-2013. They then went on a six-year hiatus, until Halloween of 2019, when they announced a long-awaited revival of the band. They have touched the hearts of millions through their honest, raw lyrics and inspirational stories.

The band started after front-man and founder Gerard Way witnessed the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City. He felt compelled to empower people and make a difference in the world. As a result, he wrote the band’s first song, “Skylines And Turnstiles.” He shared the lyrics with his friend Matt Pelissier, who agreed to be the then-unnamed band’s drummer. Gerard then recruited Ray Toro, whom he used to be in a band with as the lead guitarist, and eventually invited his brother Mikey Way to be the bassist, and Frank Iero to be the rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, was released in 2002 and was recorded in Matt Pelissier’s attic. Because of this, some of the songs are lovingly referred to as the “attic demos.” The album’s copyright warning
