My Chemical Romance - Drowning Lessons Lyrics






Without a sound I took her down
and dressed in red and blue I squeezed
Imaginary wedding gown
That you can't wear in front of me
A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Lets say goodbye, the hundredth time
And then tomorrow we'll do it again
Tomorrow we'll do it again

I dragged her down I put her out
And back there I left her where no one could see
And lifeless cold into this well
I stared as this moment was held for me
A kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
As rice grains and roses fall at your feet
Let's say goodbye, the hundredth time
And then tomorrow we'll do it again

I never thought it'd be this way
Just me and you, we're here alone
And if you stay, all I'm asking for is
A thousand bodies piled up
I never thought would be enough
To show you just what I've been thinking

And I'll keep on making more
Just to prove that I adore
Every inch of sanity
All I'm asking for is, all I'm asking for is

C'mon

These hands stained red
From the times that I've killed you and then
We can wash down this engagement ring
With poison and kerosene
We'll laugh as we die
And we'll celebrate the end of things
With cheap champagne

Without, without a sound [x2]
And I wish you away
Without a sound
And I wish you away

Without a sound, without a sound
And I wish you away
[x3]

  19. g.... ....

    happy cause mcr are back but sad cause they’ll probably never play this live

    g.... ....

    They've tried 4 times, and something's gone wrong every time
    It got dropped from their live performances pretty early on because of that

  20. J.... J....

    I'm crying. They have a thing underneath the video with the concert date.
    I've seen this so many times for other bands, but I never thought I'd see the day for my chem. WoW

  21. J.... J....

    I'm here just to say: Welcome MCR, we fucking miss u guys!!

  23. R.... R....

    Who’s on a MCR marathon listening to all their songs after hearing they’re coming back once more?

    R.... R....

    i just commented that lol

  24. S.... ....

    Favorite song from bullets along with early sunsets

  25. A.... P....

    This has the same vibes as Cemetery drive.

  26. D.... C....

    Still to this day I can't believe; I found out about My Chem in 2007, started getting into them finally in 2008, listened to all their albums, 2010 Danger days came out, fast forward to 2015, I start listening to their entire albums which I've never done before, and FINALLY find or perhaps for the first time ACKNOWLEDGE this amazing song!!! I'm not the biggest fan of their first album, but I understand it, I am a huge fan of everything else. But this song.....is just something else, it hits different, it's one of the greatest songs of all time as far as I'm concerned, and 4 years after discovering this song AFTER not knowing about it FOR YEARS....it's still amazing! Without a sound and I wish you away!!!

  27. B.... ....

    My fave album hands down the energy and Edgar Allen Poe romanticism is supern

  28. j.... ....

    honestly the best

  29. A.... D....

    The fakie outro gets me

  30. C.... D....

    Essa vai fica eternizada 2005

  31. R.... 2....

    Favorite song. :D

  32. k.... ....

    Still here 2019 🎶

  33. K.... M....

    I Invision. In My Head. The Settings Is In Mexico. Dry Heat. This Guy Spending a Last Day With His Wife. That He Dug Up From The Cemetery. And Took Back Home. Having Dinner With Her and Holding Her. Brushing Her Hair. Like Nothing Happened. Till 4:01 When Swat Caught Wind. And Kicks His Door In.'

    K.... M....

    Always Wanted To Make A Music Video To This. Badass

  34. S.... V....

    The guitar on this song is so sexy

  35. N.... W....

    Instrumental foda.

  36. H.... I....

    I’m just listening to all the MCR albums rn. Like if you are too
    👇🏻

  37. A.... T....

    2019 still listening

  38. L.... P....

    This is my song

  39. S.... ....

    Best MCR album, better than Black Parade or Danger Days.

  40. I.... ....

    Most underrated mcr song

  41. M.... ....

    This song is so beautiful?? Everything about it is so emotional to me?? But this has to be one of my favourite instrumentation’s (?) MCR has ever done. The intro punches my feels every single time, and that outro just squeezes my heaRt

  42. E.... C....

    ohhhhHHHH SO GERARD REALLY CANT SWIM

    E.... C....

    he also can’t dance

  43. O.... M....

    Love you guys

  44. S.... C....

    With poison and ker-o-sine!

  45. G.... 1....

    *C U R S E D*

  46. G.... P....

    2019/06/15

  47. L.... P....

    the instrumentation is just👌👌

  48. M.... M....

    Favorite mcr song forever and always. So beautiful and dark

  49. B.... B....

    Imaginary wedding gown that you can't qear in front of me. We say good bye the hundredth time. Then tomorrow we'll do it again. Muah :3

  50. P.... 2....

    2019 my black parade comrades?

  51. E.... ....

    Dude, I’ve been listening to this since the 4th grade,now I’m graduating this week and I still love MCR! Hahaha, I don’t think I’ll ever grow out of this soo, 2019 anyone???❤️

  52. S.... S....

    When I refer people to MCR I always tell them to listen to this album. My all time favorite. This album just hits a spot for me that no other band or form of music does.

  53. P.... R....

    FUCK YEAH

  54. d.... r....

    I used to cry to this song all the time in my emo days omg and now i’m sobbing

  55. s.... i....

    This is a good song. State the obvious lol 👍if you agree

  56. g.... c....

    gerard, mikey, frank, and ray all better be immortal or i stg im gonna fist fight death himself

    g.... c....

    Im in. Lets give this boney fuck a group beatdown

  57. C.... C....

    Hi 2019 killjoys!

  58. #.... o....

    This song (or any song from bullets) makes me want to cry until I drown in my own tears

  59. T.... ....

    the frank and ray backing vocals at 1:33 are the best part of the song

    T.... ....

    i'm pretty sure frank was not there for the first album.i think he was only there from revenge and on

  60. N.... J....

    THE GUITARS

  61. B.... C....

    Who else here has actually drowned before...?
    No one...?
    Okay, so just me I guess...
    I drowned by going in five-foot water when I was too short because I was stupid but like I'm living...??

    B.... C....

    i almost did when i was 10 and couldn't swim but i jumped into the deep end lmaooo

    B.... C....

    but the course i was doing was called "swim to survive"

  62. G.... G....

    Such an underrated song, such a wonderfully birthed album. I’ll always love you, MCR

    G.... G....

    Note: I do realize 9/11 technically birthed this album and there is nothing wonderful about that. I simply mean it is a beautiful album

  63. S.... P....

    One of their top 3 tracks I reckon.

    S.... P....

    What are your other top songs?

    I think my top favorites are
    You know what they do to guys like us in prison, Drowning lessons, and I can't choose between any on the album so the whole of the Danger Days album

  64. e.... ....

    HAPPY (SAD) MARCH 22ND 2019 GUYS 😪

    e.... ....

    well... do i have news for you, boyo

  65. J.... Y....

    Saturnine. Transmundane. Obliquitous. Violent. Crudely honest. MCR. 🖤

  66. P.... P....

    *I thought I was past these but my friend messaged me about My Chem and now it's all over.*



    *-CRY WITH ME-*

    P.... P....

    well... do i have news for you, boyo

  67. N.... K....

    First time hearing MCR pre-Three Cheers and not surprised at all that i love it. I never liked their music after that album. They changed a lot stylistically

  68. n.... m....

    I just want music to be this good again that’s all I want. For the first time in music history there’s no more diversity anymore ever since like 2013

  69. A.... ....

    Underrated great song gerard just letting you know how beautifully written this is i love it and i love you mcr keep on rocking

  70. l.... ....

    People drown swimming all the time... Teach your children how not to drown. Do it now.

  71. e.... f....

    this song reminds me of pomegranates for some reason please please please don’t ask why

  72. S.... ....

    An album from the 2000's that should never be forgotten....albums like this are what made the 2000's unique and defined the decade. So sad to see that this is a bygone era...there's just no groups with a sound like this anymore, very very sad.

    S.... ....

    Shinethelight right.... I think people really underrate the 2000s when it was undebateably the most diverse decade ever in terms of music and media

  73. p.... o....

    Getting nostalgic feels listening to this again

  74. K.... K....

    Am I the only one that wishes that the riff jam at the end was it’s own song all together? Imagine the next track building from that.

  75. D.... ....

    Mcr is life

  76. S.... P....

    Best album for sure

  77. F.... C....

    2019, anyone?

  78. S.... F....

    Without a sound I took her down
    And dressed in red and blue I squeezed
    Imaginary wedding gown
    That you can't wear in front of me
    A kiss goodbye

    We'll say goodbye
    The hundredth time
    And then tomorrow we'll do it again
    Tomorrow we'll do it again
    I dragged her down
    I put her out
    And back there I left her where no one could see
    And lifeless, cold
    Into this well
    I stared as this moment was held for me

    I never thought it'd be this way
    Just me and you we're here alone
    And if you say
    All I'm asking for is
    A thousand bodies piled up
    I never thought would be enough
    To show you just what I've been thinking
    And I'll keep on making more

    Without...
    Without a sound
    Without...
    Without a sound
    And I wish you away.
    Without a sound
    And I wish you away.
    Without a sound, without a sound
    And I wish you away
    Without a sound, without a sound
    And I wish you away
    Without a sound, without a sound
    And I wish you away

    L.... B....

    Hey what’s up y’all XD, but I just found this song earlier this year, i heard this song when i was walking to lunch and i thought it was so amazing and I grown to love it more and more.

    L.... B....

    Shaniya Taylor same I found them in 2017 after finding the song Helena and that was a song I wanted to know the name of for years so i saw a guy named Jared Dines do a cover of MCR songs in a metal version and that’s how i found Helena and after that I listened to a little bit more of MCR. I started listening to more of their songs (including this one) earlier this year. Also i was sad when i found out they broke up as well. But they are back now :D

    L.... B....

  90. S.... ....

    Such a shame they aren't around anymore ...definitely one of the best groups from the 2000's. Started listening to them many many years ago after I saw the video for Helena.

  91. A.... R....

    Los amooooooo para siempreeeeeee

  92. R.... Y....

    One day I will have my own daughter and I will show her every band and especially this band who has saved me from the dangerous world and what I been through and how bad it was when I was just a child suffering from everything crying sometimes and always been alone having no friends and no one look up to me but one person did and I thank that person a lot for always being there for me when I was a bitch kid and everything has changed for me now I have my close friends and loyal one I have a beautiful family and a gf too she means the world to me I would do anything for her

  93. R.... g....

    J.... ....

    @xXCrusherXx I didn't say MCR didn't live on, I said it's still alive lol

  95. J.... ....

    I love the ending at 4:02

  96. F.... R....

    Honestly this isn't just my favorite of all of MCR's albums but also my all time favorite album as well.
