The end
Now come one,
Come all,
To this tragic affair,
Wipe off that make up,
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 your not,
If you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see,
You can find out first hand 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,
Oooh,
Another contusion,
My funeral jag,
Here’s my resignation,
I’ll serve it in drag,
You’ve got front row seats to the penitence spot,
When I grow up I want to be nothing at all!
I said Yeah,
Say yeah,
Yeah,
Come on, come on, come on I said
Save me!Get me the hell out of hereSave me!Too young to die and my dearYou can’t!If you can hear me just walk away and take me!
Dead!
And if your heart stops beating,
I’ll be here wondering,
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life,
And if you get to heaven
I’ll be here waiting, babe,
Did you get what you deserve?,
The end, and if your life won’t wait.Then your heart can’t take this.
Have. You heard the news that you’re dead? No one ever had much nice to say, I think they never liked you anyway.Oh take me from the hospital bed.Wouldn’t it be grand? It ain’t exactly what you planned.And wouldn’t it be great if we were dead? Dead
Tongue-tired and oh so squeamish. You never fell in love. Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life And if we get to heaven. I’ll be here waiting babe. Did you get what you deserve? The end, and if your life won’t wait.Then your heart can’t take this hurt.
Have. You heard the new that you’re dead?No one ever had much nice to sayI think they never liked you anyway.Oh take me from the hospital bed.Wouldn’t it be grand to take a pistol by the hand?And wouldn’t it be great if we were dead? Dead
And in my honest observation
During this operation
Found a complication in your heart so long,
Cause now you’ve got
Maybe just two weeks to live
Is that the most the both of you can give?
One two, one two three four!
La la la la la la! La la la la la la! La la la la la la la la!Well come on!
Oh, motherfucker if LIFE ain’t just a joke Then why are we laughing?T hen why am I dead? Dead.
This is how I disappear
To unexplain the unforgivable. Drain all the blood and give the kids a show By streetlight this dark night a séance down below. There’re things that I have done you never should ever know.
And without you is how I disappear And live my life alone. Forever now.A nd without you is how I disappear And live my life alone. Forever now.
Who walks among the famous living dead. Drowns all the boys and girls inside your bed. And if you could talk to me, tell me if it’s so. That all the good girls go to heaven. Well heaven knows.
That without you is how I disappearAnd live my life alone. Forever now.And without you is how I disappearAnd live my life alone. Forever now
Can you hear me cry out to you?Words I thought I’d choke on. Figure outI’m really not so with you anymoreI’m just a ghost. So I can’t hurt you anymore So I can’t hurt you anymore
And now you wanna see how far down I can sink? Let me go! So you can well now so you canI’m so far away from you Well now so you can
And without you is how I disappearAnd without you is how I disappear Forever. Forever now.
The sharpets 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 nights dancing. I’m drunk, I suppose, If it looks like I’m laughing I’m really 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 in 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 this 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 in commands. Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo.

Welcome to 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 savior 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 savior 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
and 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
Will carry on
and in my heart I can’t contain it
The anthem wont explain it
A world that sends you reeling
from decimated dreams
Your misery and hate will kill us all
So paint it black and take it back
Let's shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end
we hear the call
To Carry on
We'll carry on
And though you’re dead and gone believe me
Your memory will
Carry on
Will carry on
And though you’re broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches
On and on we carry through the fears
Haaa haaa haaa
Disappointed faces of your peers
Haaa haaa haaa
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 ,Go and try, You’ll never break me, We want it all, We want to 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 who we are, I’m just a man, I’m not a hero, I’m just a boy, Who had to sing this song, I’m just a man, I’m not a hero, I don’t care!
We'll carry on
And though you’re dead and gone believe me
Your memory will
Carry on
Will carry on
And though your 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
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.
Where’d you go?
And 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 for 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,
Where’d you go?
And would you even turn to say,
I don’t love you,
like I did yesterday,
where’d 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.
House of wolves
I know a thing about contrition
because I got enough to spare And I’ll be granting your permission ‘Cause you haven’t got a prayer Well I said hey hallelujah I’ma come on sing the praise. So let the spirit come on through ya. We got innocence for days.
Well I think I’m gonna burn in hell, Everybody burn the house right down.
And say what I wanna say. Tell me I’m an angel Take this to my grave. Tell me I’m a bad man. Kick me like a stray. Tell me I’m an angel. Take this to my grave.
You play ring around the ambulance. Well like you never gave a care. So get the choirboys around you. It’s a compliment I swear. And I said ashes to ashes we all fall downI wanna hear you sing the praise And I said ashes to ashes we all fall down We got innocence for days.
Well I think I’m gonna burn in hell, Everybody burn the house right down.
And say what I wanna say. Tell me I’m an angel Take this to my grave. Tell me I’m a bad man.Kick me like a stray. Tell me I’m an angel. Take this to my grave.
You better run like the devil cause they’re never gonna leave you alone.
You better hide up in the alley cause they’re never gonna find you a home.
And as the blood runs downs the walls. You see me creepin’ up these halls.
I been a bad motherfucker, tell yes sister and I’m another.
And say what I wanna say. Tell me I’m an angel Take this to my grave. Tell me I’m a bad man.Kick me like a stray. Tell me I’m an angel. Take this to my grave. Tell me I’m a bad bad bad bad man.
Cancer
Turn way
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 favourite colours,
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,
and baby I'm just soggy from the chemo,
but counting down the days to go.
It’s just ain’t leavingAnd 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...
Mama
Mama we all go to hell. Mama we all go to hell.I ’m writing this letter and wishing you well. Mama we all go to hell.
Oh well now Mama we’re all gonna die. Mama we’re all gonna die. Stop asking me questions .I’d hate to see you cry, Mama we’re all gonna die. A
nd when we go don’t blame us we’ll let the fires just bathe us.You made us oh so famous. We’ll never let you go. And when you go don’t return to me my love.
Mama we’re all full of lies. Mama we’re meant for the flies. And right now they’re building a coffin your size. Mama we’re all full of lies.
Well Mother, what the war did to my legs and to my tongue.You should have raised a baby girl. I should have been a better son. If you could coddle the infection. They can amputate at once. You should have been I could have been a better son.
And when we go don’t blame us. We’ll let the fires just bathe us.You made us oh so famous. We’ll never let you go. She said “you ain’t no son of mine”. For what you done they’re gonna find. A place for you and just your mind.Your manners when you go. And when you go don’t return to me my love.
Mama we all go to hell. Mama we all go to hell. It’s really quite pleasant. Except for the smell. Mama we all go to hell
2 – 3 – 4
MAMA! MAMA! MAMA!
And if you would call me your sweetheart. I’d maybe then sing you a song
.But there’s shit that I’ve done with this fuck of a gun. You would cry out your eyes all along.
We’re damned after all. Through fortune and flame we fall.And if you can stay then I’ll show you the way to return to the ashes you call. We all carry on when our brothers in arms are gone. So rise your glass high For tomorrow we dieA nd return from the ashes you call.
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 you 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 monster that I’ve been. Three cheers for tyranny.Unapologetic apathy, ‘cause there is 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 part. The awful things that I’ve seen Just sleep.
Teenagers
They’re gonna clean up your looks, with all the lies in the books.To make a citizen out of you. Because they sleep with a gun, and keep an eye on you, son. So they can watch all the things you do. Because the drugs never work. They’re gonna give you a smirk. ‘Cause they got methods to keep you clean. They’re gonna rip up your heads. Your aspirations to shreds, another cog in the murder machine.
They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me.They could care less. As long as someone’ll bleed.So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose. Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me. T
he boys and girls in the clique, the awful names that hey stick.Yes never gonna fit in much, kid. But if you’re troubled and hurt.What you got under your shirt. Will make them pay for the things that they did.
They said all teenagers scare the living shit out of me.They could care less. As long as someone’ll bleed. So darken your clothes or strike a violent pose.Maybe they’ll leave you alone, but not me.
Disenchanted
Well I was there on the day they sold the cause for the queen. And when the lights all went out we watched our lives on the screen. I hate the ending myself but it started with an alright scene.
It was the roar of the crowd that gave me heartache to sing. It was a lie when they smiled and said you won’t fell a thing. And as we ran from the cops. We laughed so hard it would sting.
If I’m so wrong, how can you listen all night long.Now will it matter after I’m gone. Because you never learn a goddamned thing.
You’re just a sad song, with nothing to say.About a lifelong wait for a hospital stay.And if you think that I’m wrong, this never meant nothing to ya.
I spent my high school career, spit on and shoved to agree.So I could watch all my heroes. Sell a car on TV.Bring out the old guillotine, we’ll show them what we all mean.
If I’m so wrong, how can you listen all night long Now will it matter after I’m gone Because you never learn a goddamned thing.
You’re just a sad song, with nothing to say.About a lifelong wait for a hospital stay.And if you think that I’m wrong, this never meant nothing to ya. So go, go away, just run, run away.But where did you run to? Where did you hide?Go find another way, price your pay. You’re just a sad song, with nothing to say.About a lifelong wait for a hospital stay.And if you think that I’m wrong, this never meant nothing to ya.C’monYou’re just a sad song, with nothing to say.About a lifelong wait for a hospital stay.And if you think that I’m wrong, this never meant nothing to ya.At all.
Famous last words
Now I know
That I can’t make you stay
But where’s your heart
But where’s your heart
But where’s your...
And I know
There’s nothing I can say
To change that part
To change that part
To change...
So many
Bright lights they cast a shadow
But can I speak?
is it hard understanding
I’m incomplete
The life that’s so demanding
I get so weak
A love that’s so demanding
I can’t speak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
Can you see?
My eyes are shining bright
Cause I’m out here
On the other side
Of a jet black
hotel mirror
And I’m so weak
is it hard understanding
I’m incomplete
A love that’s so demanding
I get weak
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay
I’ll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going
These bright lights have always blinded meThese bright lights have always blinded me
I said
I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I’d never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead
[x4]
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay
I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
[x3]
Blood (bonus track)
Well they encourage your complete cooperation
Send you roses when they think you need to smile
I can't control myself because I don't know how
And they love me for it honestly I'll be here for a while
So give them blood, blood
Gallons of the stuff
Give them all that they can drink and it will never be enough
so Give them blood, blood, blood
Grab a glass because there's going to be a flood.
A celebrated man amongst the gurneys
They can fix me proper with a bit of luck
The doctors and the nurses they adore me so
But it's really quite alarming cause I'm such an awful fuck (why thank you!)
I gave you blood, blood
Gallons of the stuff
I gave you all that you can drink and it has never been enough
I gave you blood, blood, blood
I'm the kind of human wreckage that you love!
