Gerard Way – Brother lyrics
Does anyone have the time to bring me down?
And can I sleep all night long to the drums of the city rain?
Just make it up
Cuz I'm awake all night long to the drums of the city rain

And brother if you have the chance to pick me up?
And can I sleep on your couch to the pound of the ache and pain?
I'm my head cuz I'm awake all night long to the drums of the city rain

The lights we chase
The nights we steal
The things that we take
To make us feel this
I can't go back
Don't think I will
I won't sleep tonight as long as I still
Hear the drums of the city rain

Does
anyone have the guts to shut me up?
Cuz I believe that every night
There's a chance we can walk away
So hold on tight
Because I won't wait too long in the drums of the beating rain

Cuz the nights don't last
And we leave alone
Will you drive me back?
Can you take me home?

The
lights we chase
The nights we steal
The things that we take
To make us feel this
I can't go back
Don't think I will
I won't sleep tonight as long as I still
Hear the drums of the city rain

Faces I don't know
I am tired in the glow
Of the freezing glow
Keep
me breathing don't make the lights come back
Can you take me home?
We all need this when we leave alone

Remember when you and I would make things up?
So many nights, just take me down to the place we would hear them play
I miss that sound
Cuz now we don't sing so loud
To the drums of the city rain

The
lights we chase
The nights we steal
The things that we take
To make us feel this
I can't go back
Don't think I will
I won't sleep tonight as long as I still
Hear the drums of the city rain

Like
strangers laugh and like subways feel
Things I'm trying to break
Oh, just wait until this is all we have to keep us ill
I won't breathe tonight as long as I still hear the drums of the city rain

    This song was written right beside mikey when he was in a coma due to his drug overdose. Gerard explained this in a interview but I can't find it. This song made me cry so,much and you can hear in the beginning Gerard screaming and crying and talking to a operator saying "he killed himself" then there is heavy sobbing and crying. The "he killed himself" Is a insignator that Gerard wasn't just upset and heartbroken that he may lose his bother in a coma. They both dealt with the same thing and Gerard knows how mikey feels. He wrote brother about the good times and the bad with him . Childhood memories and other things. He didnt want to see his brother hit rock bottom amd he did. And not too long after the incident, mikey got tricked into going into rehab and got help. He has been clean and sober for I believe over a year. And he said he "never felt better" you can get the inside scoop at NME.com and other band sites. I believe this really scared mikey. He once said "the doctor said I shouldntve woken up" but he is better now and my chem is back together
