Skylines And Turnstiles lyrics

You're not in this alone
Let me break this awkward silence
Let me go, go on record
Be the first to say I'm sorry
Be the first, to let you take me down
Then you lay me out
And if the world needs something better
Let's give them one more reason now

We walk in single file
We light up rails and punch our time
Ride escalators colder than a cell
-Chorus-

This broken city sky like butane on my skin
and stolen from my eyes
Hello Angel tell me where are you
Tell me where we go from here
(Repeat)
And in this moment we can't close the lids on burning eyes
Our memories blanket us with friends we know like fallout vapor
Steel corpses stretch out towards and ending sun scorched and black
It reaches in and rips your flesh apart
With ice cold hands and grabs a hold of your heart
That's if you've still got one that's left inside that cave you call a chest
And after seeing what we saw, can we still proclaim our innocence
And if the world needs something better
Let's give them one more reason now
-Chorus-

Skylines And Turnstiles meanings

Skylines is the first song Gerard Way wrote. It was just after he witnesed 9/11 on his way to work on a ferry. He saw the planes crash into the buildings, and saw the bodies falling. That is when he decided to give up his job as a comic book artist and take up his dream of singing in a band. He then went home and wrote the song we know and love..!!
