Music blows lyrics up very quickly, and suddenly they become more than art. They become pompous and they become self-conscious ... I firmly believe that lyrics have to breathe and give the audience's ear a chance to understand what's going on. Particularly in the theater, where you not only have the music, but you've got costume, story, acting, orchestra. There's a lot to take in. ↗

You ask me why I don't speak Not a word at will But write so much worth well over a mill' Well I value words like I value kisses A sober one, a closer one penetrates the heart Darling it's how it mends it ↗

Look alive, sunshine... 109 in the sky but the pigs won't quit You're here with me, Dr. Death Defying... I'll be your surgeon, your proctor Your helicopter... Pumpin' out the Slaughtermatic Sounds to keep you live A system failure for the masses Anti-matter for the master plan Louder than God's revolver and twice as shiny... This one's for all you rock and rollers All you crash queens and motor babies LISTEN UP! The future is bulletproof! The aftermath is secondary! It's time to do it now and do it loud KILLJOYS...MAKE SOME NOISE ↗

— My Chemical Romance

Walking thru this graveyard, I realize times were never really hard. We live, we love, we let it go. The world ain't changed me at all. ↗
