His Chemical Romance

He struts on stage
You can't stop him now.
He's never alone
With the roar of this crowd.
With his band by his side
And a message to bring,
A band to save your life
Who knew this boy could sing?

He is a contrast with himself
Of only a few short year ago
Where he'd drink himself to sleep
And let the intoxication flow.
Addiction tore holes in his life
And he was going to take the rest
Depressions best friend almost
Silenced the beat in his chest.
Sweat, tears and vomit,
All strewn out on the floor
This was it, his very last drink,
He couldn't take it anymore

Now the vampires no longer bite
And the night no longer stings
Fist in the air he'll continue to fight
Can you hear the triumph in the words he sings?
Clean and sober
The OTHER light at the end
Walking, dancing, parading truth
That even the most broken can mend.
Those deep, dark circles
perhaps Permanently stain his eyes
But from each and every fall,
You know again he will rise.
Back on stage, hear them play tonight
The sink holes of their past
Filled in by the stage light.
Gerard's demons now sealed away
only in songs let out to play
Slightly off centered, but he leads
These creatures of the night; his band of misfits
To fight the good fight.
