[Verse 1]
I said we'll drown ourselves
In misery, tonight
White lies, you've worn out
All your dancing shoes, this time

Just give us war-worn lipstick
By the purifying flame

[Verse 2]
These eyes have had too much
To drink again, tonight
Black skies, we'll douse ourselves
In high explosive light

Just give us war, war
I've been calling you all week for my shotgun

[Bridge]
Pick up the phone
Pick up the phone, fucker

I wanna see what your insides look like
I bet you're not fucking pretty on the inside
I wanna see what your insides look like
I wanna see 'em

[Chorus]
Well, you don't say
And well, I can't explain what happened to my faith
Late, last night
I sleep in empty pools and vacant alleyways

And what I'm going through
Shot lip gloss through my veins
And well, I can't complain
With the falling rain

C'mon!

[Outro]
I wanna save your heart
I wanna see what your insides may be...

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
