13. PARTY FOR THE DEPARTED

Alas, the final track! The piece de resistance of this entire concept album. The setting: a rave. The occurrence: my death, among the partygoers, who don't realize me till I'm dead and gone, which is the ironic thing about death. As I die, the party ushers me into death, and I accept it for what it is. A huge rock ballad. That's all I can describe it as. Definitely "Black Parade" influenced. Completion! Just like death.
 
 
13: PARTY FOR THE DEPARTED
 
Verse 1:
 
They dance in my contusions
 
Confusing sex for love
 
I'm used to being used by everyone
 
But now it is my turn to turn
 
The deeds these dicks have done
 
And when I go,
 
I know they'll have fun
 
 
Chorus 1:
 
Repent for all
 
The high will fall
 
The doctors
 
Couldn't hope to save me
 
They take me off of
 
Life support
 
I've lost my thoughts
 
And God was
 
Right in having made me
 
The negative escape dream
 
 
Verse 2:
 
And Hades' flames will lick me
 
As Heaven tries to pull
 
The wool over my eyes we'll knit for luck
 
So drink it down
 
And bring the crown
 
The thorns will pierce my skin
 
And when I leave this bar
 
I'll tip a buck
 
 
Chorus 2:
 
So carry on
 
With care, we fall
 
Prepared to
 
Brawl with all the saviors
 
Don't try to wake him
 
Oxygen
 
Is lost again
 
A waste of skin and bones
 
Alone again
 
My position
 
Repose in
 
 
Bridge 1:
 
Corroding here
 
Was a nuisance to me
 
(You know that)
 
Eroding here
 
Feels too good to bereave
 
(So poke at)
 
My eternal greed
 
Because I feel the need to...
 
 
Bridge 2:
 
Bleed on
 
So blow the weed on
 
Tip your drinks
 
Find shit to pee on
 
Just press your way
 
And change your critic's minds
 
"Cause yesterday
 
Another victim tries
 
Sitting here
 
Waiting to live, but
 
It's killing me
 
So please forgive us
 
For exchanging gifts
 
The Magi gipped us
 
(Screams) I...
 
GIVE...
 
UP!!
 
 
Chorus 3:
 
So now I'm gone
 
My final song
 
My mouth's on--
 
Repeat for the beat freaks
 
MY CD's gonna
 
Turn them on
 
While burning on
 
So learn from
 
All my past transgressions
 
The lesson is--
 
Don't give
 
a
 
fuck...
 
 
(Repeat Bridge 2 with "Don't give a fuck!" 4x)
