Emo Song Lyrics

The Takeover, The Breaks Over

Baby, seasons change but people don't. And I'll always be waiting in the back room. I'm boring but overcompensate with Headlines and flash, flash, flash photography. But don't pretend you ever forgot about me. Don't pretend you ever forgot about me. Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee? Style your wake for fashion magazines. Widow or a divorcee? Don't pretend, d-d-d-don't pretend. We don't fight fair. We don't fight fair. They say your head can be a prison. Then these are just conjugal visits. People will dissect us till This doesn't mean a thing anymore. Don't pretend you ever forgot about me. Don't pretend you ever forgot about me. Wouldn't you rather be a widow than a divorcee? Style your wake for fashion magazines, ohhh. Widow or a divorcee? Don't pretend, d-d-d-don't pretend. We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces. We're dropped and well concealed in secret places, woah. We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces. We're dropped and well concealed in secret places We don't fight fair. We don't fight fair. We don't fight fair. We don't fight fair. We don't fight fair. We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces. We're dropped and well concealed in secret places, woah. We do it in the dark with smiles on our faces. We're dropped and well concealed in secret places. We don't fight fair. With smiles on our faces. We're dropped and well concealed in secret places. We don't fight fair. Don't pretend you ever forgot about me. We don't fight fair. Don't pretend you ever forgot about me. We don't fight fair.

Do You Know What I'm Seeing

Clouds are marchin' along Singin' a song, just like they do If the clouds were singin' a song I'd sing along, wouldn't you too? If you just knew What they could do Oh, if you just knew What would they do? And if the birds Are just hollow words Flyin' along, singin' a song What would they do? If they just knew What they could do Oh, if they just knew I know it's sad That I never gave a damn about the weather And it never gave a damn about me I know it's sad That I never gave a damn about the weather And it never gave a damn about me No, it never gave a damn about me I know it's mad But if I go to hell Will you come with me or just leave? I know it's mad But if the world were ending Would you just kiss me or just leave me? Just leave me? Clouds are singin' a song Marchin' along, just like they do If the clouds were playin' a song I'd play along, wouldn't you too? If you just knew What they could do Oh, if you just knew What would they do? And if words Are just hollow birds Flyin' along, singin' a song What would they do? If they just knew What we could do Oh, if they just knew I know it's sad That I never gave a damn about the weather And it never gave a damn about me I know it's sad That I never gave a damn about the weather And it never gave a damn about me No, it never gave a damn about me I know it's mad But if I go to hell Will you come with me or just leave? I know it's mad But if the world were ending Would you just kiss me or just leave me? Just leave me? I know it's sad That I never gave a damn about the weather And it never gave a damn about me [x4] No, it never gave a damn about me

Bull In The Bronx

Do you know I count your heartbeats before you sleep (you sleep)? I bite my fingernails to bone (to bone) And then I crawl back under the stairwell To a place I call my home. I really hope you enjoy the show, Because for me, it's just a bad day. You need people like me to feel. Maybe we're just having too much fun. Maybe you can't handle yourself, Staring at me with your lips and tongue. You'll never know I don't know where I'm going to sleep tonight. She said, "Hotels are cheap, And there's one down the street." But, don't you threaten me with a good time. Murder the moment. My God, I'm the serpent. I'm sorry, I can't see that you truly love me. Maybe we're just having too much fun. Maybe you can't handle yourself, Staring at me with your lips and tongue. I've been having this dream that we can fly, So maybe if we never wake up, we can see the sky. Oh, alright. Please, don't take this out on me, 'Cause you're the only thing that's keeping me alive. And I don't wanna wait for the down-set date 'Cause I would rather end it all tonight. And if I mean anything to you, I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind. Maybe we're just having too much fun. Maybe you can't handle yourself, Staring at me with your lips and tongue. I've been having this dream that we can fly, So darling, close your eyes. 'Cause you're about to miss everything (about to miss everything) About to miss everything (about to miss everything)

Heart of Fire

Driving through this world unknown, I've built my life on broken bones. Not living for this anymore, You want a fight... I'll bring a war! I feel alive inside I won't be terrorized, I'll take all the blame. This heart of fire is burning proud I am every dream you lost and never found This heart of fire is stronger now Build your walls but you can't keep me out I'll burn them down. I am every vow you broke, They left for dead and turned to smoke. Arm yourself with words of hate, I'm ripping through the souls you take. I feel alive inside I won't be terrorized, I'll stand up to the pain. This heart of fire is burning proud. I am every dream you lost and never found This heart of fire is stronger now Build your walls but you can't keep me out Let's burn it down! This heart of fire is burning proud. I am every dream you lost and never found. This heart of fire is stronger now. Build your walls but you can't keep me out. This heart of fire, fire, fire. This heart of fire, fire, fire. This heart of fire.

Death Valley

I wanna see your animal side Let it all out I wanna see the dirt Under your skin I need your broken promises I want the guts and glory, baby, baby This town is wasted and alone But we are alive Here in death valley But don't take love off the table yet 'Cause tonight It's just fire alarms and losing you We love a lot So we only lose a little But we are alive (we are alive) We are alive I wanna see your animal side Let it all out Oh there you go; undress to impress You can wear the crown but you're no princess So put the "D" in "dirt" now, baby, baby Let's get you wasted and alone 'Cause we are alive, Here in death valley But don't take love off the table yet 'Cause tonight It's just fire alarms and losing you We love a lot So, we only lose a little We are alive (we are alive) We are alive We're gonna die It's just a matter of time Hard times come Good times go I'm either gone in an instant Or here 'til the bitter end I, I never know What I've got will make you feel more alive I'll be your favorite drug, I will get you high I will get you high We're still, We are alive, Here in death valley But don't take love off the table yet 'Cause tonight It's just fire alarms and losing you We love a lot So, we only lose a little But we are alive (we are alive) We are alive

Boy Division

If all my enemies threw a party Would you light the candles? Would you drink the wine? While watching television? Watch the animals And all the tragedies And sell your arteries And buy my casket gown Well, it better be black And it better be tight And it better be just my size I'm stalking these metro malls And airport halls And all these schoolgirls I'm not asking You're not telling He's not dead he only looks that way Out nowhere Take me out there Far away and save me from my self-destruction Hopeless for you Sing a song for California I bought my enemies rope to hang me And the knives to gang me You can watch 'em stab me on your television Stomp the halls Because the bathroom walls Would have a lot to say about The lines you're putting down! It better be white It better be cut It better be just my size Until my capillaries burst of boredom, I'll be waiting I'm not laughing You're not joking I'm not dead I only dress that way Out nowhere Take me out there Far away and save me from my self-destruction Hopeless for you Sing a song for California Wherever you are Whatever you are Whoever you are Wherever you are LALALALA 'Cause we got the bomb, we got the bomb (LET'S GO!) We got the bomb, we got the bomb (LET'S GO!) We got the bomb, we got the bomb (LET'S GO!) We got the bomb, we got the bomb (LET'S GO!) Way out nowhere Take me out there Far away and save me from my self-destruction Hopeless for you Say a prayer for California WE GOT THE BOMB! WE GOT THE BOMB! WE GOT THE BOMB! WE GOT THE BOMB!

In The End

In the end As you fade into the night (oh whoa oh oh) Who will tell the story of your life? In the end As my soul's laid to rest What is left of my body Or am I just a shell? And I have fought And with flesh and blood I commanded an army Through it all I have given my heart for a moment of glory (I gave it all) In the end As you fade into the night (oh whoa oh oh) Who will tell the story of your life (oh whoa oh oh) And who will remember your last goodbye (oh whoa oh oh) 'Cause it's the end and I'm not afraid I'm not afraid to die. I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid to die Born a saint But with every sin I still wanna be holy I will live again Who we are Isn't how we live we are more than our bodies If I fall I will rise back up and relive my glory In the end As you fade into the night (oh whoa oh oh) Who will tell the story of your life (oh whoa oh oh) And who will remember your last goodbye (oh whoa oh oh) 'Cause it's the end and I'm not afraid I'm not afraid to die In the end As you fade into the night (oh whoa oh oh) Who will tell the story of your life (oh whoa oh oh) And who will remember your last goodbye (oh whoa oh oh) 'Cause it's the end and I'm not afraid I'm not afraid to die Who will remember this last goodbye (oh whoa oh oh) 'Cause it's the end and I'm not afraid I'm not afraid to die Not afraid I'm not afraid to die No not afraid I'm not afraid to die!

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. And when we go don't blame us, yeah. We'll let the fire just bathe us, yeah. 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've raised a baby girl, I should've been a better son. If you could coddle the infection They can amputate at once. You should've been, I could have been a better son. And when we go don't blame us, yeah. We'll let the fire just bathe us, yeah. You made us, oh, so famous. We'll never let you go. She said, "You ain't no son of mine For what you've done. They're gonna find A place for you And just you mind your manners when you go. And when you go, don't return to me, my love." That's right. 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! Oh! Mama! Mama! Mama! Ma... [Liza Minnelli:] And if you would call me your sweetheart, I'd maybe then sing you a song [Gerard Way:] But there's shit that I've done with this f*** 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 from the ashes you call. We all carry on (We all carry on) When our brothers in arms are gone (When our brothers in arms are gone) So raise your glass high For tomorrow we die, And return from the ashes you call.

Tear In My Heart

Sometimes you've got to bleed to know, That you're alive and have a soul, But it takes someone to come around to show you how. She's the tear in my heart, I'm alive, She's the tear in my heart, I'm on fire, She's the tear in my heart, Take me higher, Than I've ever been. The songs on the radio are ok, But my taste in music is your face, And it takes a song to come around to show you how. She's the tear in my heart, I'm alive, She's the tear in my heart, I'm on fire, She's the tear in my heart, Take me higher, Than I've ever been. Than I've ever been Than I've ever been Than I've ever been You fell asleep in my car, I drove the whole time, But that's ok, I'll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine, I'm driving here I sit, cursing my government, For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement. You fell asleep in my car, I drove the whole time, But that's ok, I'll just avoid the holes so you sleep fine, I'm driving here I sit, cursing my government, For not using my taxes to fill holes with more cement. Sometimes you've got to bleed to know, That you're alive and have a soul, But it takes someone to come around to show you how. She's the tear in my heart, I'm alive, She's the tear in my heart, I'm on fire, She's the tear in my heart, Take me higher, Than I've ever been. My heart is my armor, She's the tear in my heart, she's a carver, She's a butcher with a smile, cut me farther, Than I've ever been. Than I've ever been Than I've ever been Than I've ever been My heart is my armor, She's the tear in my heart, she's a carver, She's a butcher with a smile, cut me farther, Than I've ever been.

The Kids Aren't Alright

Stuck in the jet wash. Bad trip I couldn't get off. And maybe I bit off more than I could chew And overhead of the aqua blue. Fall to your knees, bring on the rapture. Blessed be the boys time can't capture On film or between the sheets. I always fall from your window to the pitch-black streets. And with the black banners raised As the crooked smiles fade. Former heroes who quit too late. Who just wanna fill up the trophy case again. And in the end I'd do it all again. I think you're my best friend. Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright? I'm yours. When it rains it pours. Stay thirsty like before. Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright? I'm not passive but aggressive. Take note it's not impressive. Empty your sadness like you're dumping your purse on my bedroom floor We put your curse in reverse. And it's our time now if you want it to be. Maul the world like a carnival bear set free. And your love is anemic. And I can't believe that you couldn't see it coming for me. And I still feel that rush in my veins. It twists my head just a bit to think. All those people in those old photographs I've seen are dead. And in the end I'd do it all again. I think you're my best friend. Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright? I'm yours. When it rains it pours. Stay thirsty like before. Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright? And sometimes I just wanna sit around and gaze at my shoes, yeah. And let your dirty sadness fill me up just like a balloon. And in the end I'd do it all again. I think you're my best friend. Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright? I'm yours. When it rains it pours. Stay thirsty like before. Don't you know that the kids aren't al-, kids aren't alright?

Caraphernelia (Care-a-fern-ee-lee-a+)

Sunshine, there ain't a thing that you can do that's gonna ruin my night. (But, there's just something about) This dizzy dreamer and her bleeding little blue boy. Licking your fingers like you're done and, You've decided there is so much more than me. And baby, honestly it's harder breathing next to you, I shake. I brought a gun and as the preacher tried to stop me. Hold my heart it's beating for you anyway. What if I can't forget you? I'll burn your name into my throat. I'll be the fire that'll catch you. What's so good about picking up the pieces? None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole. Nobody prays for the heartless. Nobody gives another penny for the selfish. You're learning how to taste what you kill now. Don't mind me, I'm just reaching for your necklace. Talking to my mom about this little girl from Texas. What if I can't forget you? I'll burn your name into my throat. I'll be the fire that'll catch you. What's so good about picking up the pieces? None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole. Just give her back to me. You know I can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need. So, baby, what if I can't forget you? (What if I can't forget you?) Collide invisible lips like a shadow on the wall, And just throw, oh no. You can't just throw me away. So, what if I can't forget you? I'll burn your name into my throat. I'll be the fire that'll catch you. What's so good about picking up the pieces? What if I don't even want to? Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh, oh. Oh. What if I can't forget you? I'll burn your name into my throat. I'll be the fire that'll catch you. What's so good about picking up the pieces? None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole. Just give her back to me. You know I can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need. So, baby, what if I can't forget you? (What if I can't forget you?) I'd better learn to live alone. What's so good about picking up the pieces? What's so good about? What's so good about? What's so good about picking up the pieces? Oh.

Cancer

Turn away, 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 favorite colors, 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 hairs abandoned all my body, Oh, my agony, Know that I will never marry, Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo But counting down the days to go It just ain't living And I just hope you know That if you say (if you say) Goodbye today (goodbye today) I'd ask you to be true (cause 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

I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way. For all the dirty looks, the photographs your boyfriend took, Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor? I'm not okay I'm not okay I'm not okay You wear me out What will it take to show you that it's not the life it seems? (I'm not okay) I've told you time and time again you sing the words but don't know what it means (I'm not okay) To be a joke and look, another line without a hook I held you close as we both shook for the last time take a good hard look! I'm not okay I'm not okay I'm not okay You wear me out Forget about the dirty looks The photographs your boyfriend took You said you read me like a book, but the pages all are torn and frayed I'm okay I'm okay! I'm okay, now (I'm okay, now) But you really need to listen to me Because I'm telling you the truth I mean this, I'm okay! (Trust Me) I'm not okay I'm not okay Well, I'm not okay I'm not o- f***ing kay I'm not okay I'm not okay (Okay)

Sharpest 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 night dancing I'm drunk, I suppose If it looks like I'm laughing I'm really just 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 on 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 of these 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 it commands Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo I've really been on 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 of these vampires So you can leave like the sane abandoned me [x2]

Skylines and Turnstiles

You're not in this alone Let me break this awkward silence Let me go, go on record Be the first to say I'm sorry Hear me out, And if you take me down Or would you lay me out And if the world needs something better Let's give them one more reason now, now, now We walk in single file We light our rails and punch our time Ride escalators colder than a cell [Chorus] This broken city sky like butane on my skin stolen from my eyes Hello Angel, tell me where are you Tell me where we go from here [x2] Tell me we go from... And in this moment we can't close the lids on burning eyes Our memories blanket us with friends we know like fallout vapors Steel corpses stretch out towards an ending sun, scorched and black It reaches in and tears your flesh apart As ice cold hands rip into your heart That's if you've still got one that's left inside that cave you call a chest And after seeing what we saw, can we still reclaim our innocence And if the world needs something better, let's give them one more reason now [Chorus] This broken city sky like butane on my skin stolen from my eyes Hello Angel, tell me where are you Tell me where we go from here [x2] Tell me we go from here
