"Fake Your Death" - My Chemical Romance (Official Audio)

some people watch some people pray

but even lights can’t fade away

some people hope some people pay

but why'd we have to stay?

'cause even here we're scared to bruise

or any misery you choose

you like to watch we like to use

and we were born to lose

i choose defeat i walk away

and leave this place the same today

some like to sleep we like to play

just look at all that pain

you want the heart or to be saved

but even good guys still get paid

so watch my back and keep the blade

i think it got you laid

so fake your death or it’s your blame

and leave the lights on when you stay

take off your clothes and dream that fate

come on and feel that shame

i choose defeat i walk away

and leave this place the same today

some like to sleep we like to play

just look at all that pain

just look at all that pain

just look at all that pain

just look at all that pain

just give me all that pain

just give me all that pain

just give me all that pain

i choose defeat i walk away

and leave this place the same today

some like to sleep we like to play

just look at all that pain

so... i'm angrier than before, when i found out this... greatest hits... thingy... was happening. i mean: come on, you guys can't say this is the last song you've ever written. it's so different from EVERYTHING they've ever done. i mean, it's a sweet song, and the melody is good, but can you hear Gerard's voice? he sounds so sad and unhappy; like he didn't even wanted to record this song. he's not angry, he's just tired.

it breaks my heart. it's not the last memory of My Chemical Romance that i wanted. i didn't ask for this. i was happy with Conventional Weapons, what are you guys doing with us?! and why are all those fans so fucking happy about this song?! there's nothing happy about this song. it's basically them saying: "screw this. i don't wanna fo this anymore". 

the song is really good. but it hurts that... just, please: Gerard, Mikey, Ray, Frank: don't be so fucking proud about it. i don't...sorry, i'm crying and i can't think right now. i'm gonna go crawl into a hole and die. bye.

~ My Chemical Romance is done. But it can never die. Because it is not a band- it is an idea. ~

Hello all,

On March 25, we will be releasing a greatest hits album entitled "May Death Never Stop You."  The title is fitting, because as sad as it was to say goodbye to the band, we look at this collection as a celebration of our best songs, and hope the memory of them continues to bring joy to you all as they have for us.

The album also includes some previously unreleased material, including the infamous "Attic Demos," and one of the last songs we worked on in the studio together.

On January 21, we will be opening pre-orders for the album right here on our site. We hope you take the journey with us into MCR's past, and enjoy the small taste of what might have been.

Thanks,

 Ray, Gerard, Frank, Mike

come fucking on! this is playing with our feelings, and they sign off as themselves? what were they thinking?! yes, of course some fans are gonna be pleased and already pre-ordered this little shit, and to be completely honest, i may buy it myself later on... MAYBE. but that doesn't mean i'm hecka angry about all this.

i feel so fucking used.

on the other hand, Fall Out Boy released a greatest hits album right after they "took some time off" and four years later they came up with (in my opinion) they're best work yet. so, fingers crossed. but i'm still really mad about this. and i find it weird that niether of them talked about it through their personal twitter accounts -scrach that! i'm talking about it later on. this whole business is fishy; it's not from them, it's not Gee's, Mikey's, Ray's or Frankie's idea.

also: this tracklist is more bullshit than anything:

“Fake Your Death”

Somewhere in the liner notes for “May Death Never Stop You”, there are written statements about each song on the collection. These statements were contributed by the members of the band and reflect their personal thoughts on the songs (dispersed to members at random). There is however, one song that bears no statement.

I consider “Fake Your Death” to be the “last MCR song”, and to me, it is absolutely the final fully realized collaboration between the members of the band. Oddly, or fittingly, it was written while the Los Angeles Kings beat the New Jersey Devils and won the Stanley Cup, though this did not inform or inspire the song as I was unaware (along with James and Doug) that this was happening and have only a small interest in sports. After the game, the rest of the band had arrived at the studio where we added elements to its existing structure, fleshing it out some more, and it started to form.

What was not so obvious at the time was that the song was, and would serve as, a eulogy for the band, though I should have known it from the lyrics. I think internally I did, as I felt an odd sense of sadness and loss after hearing back the words on top of the music. I also felt a strange sense of pride in how honest it was, and could not remember a band recording a song of this nature, being so self-aware. Ending felt like something honest, and honest always feels like something new.

So it will exist, and it is no cowardly act to release something of this nature, but a service to those who believed in a band that did not compromise, and a wave goodbye to all. And yes, it is fucking heartbreaking.

And while I don’t believe the lyrics of the chorus today- I did at the time, which to me is a core ingredient to the music of MCR. And it is through that belief, and yours, that we were able to achieve many beautiful things.

-G.Way, Los Angeles, 1-20-14

SERIOUSLY?! i'm so fucking pissed off! ¬¬

this is a corporative descision... i can smell it. the label is trying to dry up the fans as long as they're still caught up with the band.

i hate it all.
