“The Five Of Us Are Dying” is an early version of what later became My Chemical Romance’s “Welcome to the Black Parade,” as noted by Alternative Press. This track, along with “Emily,” is a rough mix, meaning it was recorded so the band could see how it sounded, but was ultimately scrapped.
If they...
[Intro]
After all we've done
To our faces and our fingers
You can run, but you can't hide from this
Some would gasp, some would cry
As they wheeled us in by gurney
And we laughed about the time we fell
[Verse 1]
Sometimes, I get the feeling
She's watching over me
And other times, I'm feeling so alone
There's writing on the ceiling
That only I can see
And other times, I feel like running home
[Chorus]
'Cause the time we have is really not so bad
Despite the reservations that you had
I don't care at all, I'm really not so sad
Despite the observation that you had
[Verse 2]
'Cause I met a guy in Cleveland
He said it's not so bad
And other times, you feel you wake up dead
And if you get the feeling
You're watching after me
Well, here's a clue, it's all just in my head
[Chorus]
'Cause the time we have is really not so bad
Despite the reservations that you had
And I don't give a fuck, it's really not so sad
Despite the observation that you had
[Interlude]
These darker days will never get me down
Gotta break, wipe that smile right off your face
[Bridge]
We got the right to anything we want
Even if they beat you, no, I can't behave
We got the right, not for anything at all
Even if they kick you when you're— I don't care!
[Chorus]
'Cause the time we have is really not so bad
Despite the reservations that you had
I don't care at all, I'm really not so sad
Despite the observation that you— I don't care at all!
The Five of Us Are Dying was written by Ray Toro & Frank Iero & Mikey Way & Gerard Way & Bob Bryar.
The Five of Us Are Dying was produced by Rob Cavallo & My Chemical Romance.
My Chemical Romance released The Five of Us Are Dying on Fri Jul 29 2016.
This track, along with “Emily,” is a rough mix, meaning it was recorded so the band could see how it sounded, but was ultimately scrapped.
Some bits of the instrumental stuck, except the intro was switched out to the iconic series of notes adored by fans. The only lyric that stayed the same is “sometimes I get the feeling she’s watching over me.”
This track is a rough mix, meaning it was made as a way for the artists to experiment and see what it would sound like in the studio.
It’s likely this was recorded during the early stages of writing “Welcome to the Black Parade.”
