The weird part about the original song is that Gerard Way rolls his r’s on the third time he says ‘ashes’ when the word ‘ashes’ doesn’t have an r at the start!
I felt it under my skin Watched the walls close in Your words drawn like a blade Contaminate my veins Unforgiven You bent the truth so you could Play the victim What's real fades I swear I'm not paranoid I let it in as if I had a choice Just bury me in red I don't want another fight Push me off the edge And I can be your sacrifice Rope severed, this cycle All consumed by the Numbered symptoms that you create There's no shelter beneath the rain Shut me out, shut me out Sick of the misdirection You cut me down As what's real fades I swear I'm not paranoid I let it in as if I had a choice Just bury me in red I don't want another fight Push me off the edge And I can be your sacrifice We let the knot go, we let it unwind You dug in deeper with that same knife Twist the handle, side to side We let the knot go, you let it die I swear I'm not paranoid I let it in as if I had a choice Just bury me in red I don't want another fight Push me off the edge And I can be your sacrifice Your sacrifice Your sacrifice We let the knot go, we let it unwind You dug in deeper with that same knife You dug in deeper with that same knife With that same knife
That “may your ashes feed the river in the morning rays” line really sticks out with me. It’s one of the most poetic lyrics over ever heard before. Really like it
