Far from this return
I fall out of grace
I gave my whole life motherfucker-babe
Thousands every day

You can't take this life
Take it back from me
I've lived my whole life, baby
I did this every day

You see your life in my hands
Your love is covered in blood and piss
Clean me off, I'm so dirty, babe
Clean all the money
And it [unintelligible]
You feel the hurt in my head
Let's go

And though, so far
We will bury them
In a hole so deep

Laugh from this return
I fall out of grace
I lived my whole life, motherfucker-babe
By this every day

I see your life in my hands
And now it's covered in blood and piss
Clean me off, I'm so dirty babe
It ain't for money, baby, baby
I just do it for fame
It's for the glory, baby
When this ends!

And though, so far
And we'll bury them
So hard and deep
We'll go through

[instrumental and also some ad-lib screaming]

I tried!
I tried!

And we'll all dance along
To the tune of your death
And we'll laugh again
We'll cry again
And it's better off this way

Never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

Never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

I tried!
One more night!
I tried!
I tried!
Well, I tried
I tried!
I tried!
I tried!
Well...

And we'll love again
We'll laugh again
We'll cry again
And we'll dance again
And it's better off this way
It's so much better off this way
And I'm trying to see that you wanted to die

And never again
And never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

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
