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
Welcome to the Black Parade, Album: 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?"
Welcome to the Black Parade, Album: The Black Parade
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
Teenagers, Album: The Black Parade
What will it take to show you
That it's not the life it seems?
I've told you time and time again
You sing the words, but don't know what it means
I’m Not Okay (I Promise), Album: Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge
When you go, and would you even turn to say
"I don't love you like I did yesterday"?
I Don’t Love You, Album: The Black Parade
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
Famous Last Words, Album: The Black Parade
So many bright lights, they cast a shadow, but can I speak?
Well, is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A life that's so demanding, I get so weak
A love that's so demanding, I can't speak
Famous Last Words, Album: The Black Parade
That if you say goodbye today
I'd ask you to be true
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Cancer, Album: The Black Parade
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
Cancer, Album: The Black Parade
And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break?
And like the blade you stain
Well, I've been holding on tonight
Helena (So Long & Goodnight), Album: Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge
