It's Not a Phase

Well I'm not one to look into the past or who I was
But maybe I should risk a look and remember just because
My teenage years
Full of fears
Full of tears
Put these songs back in my ears
Just one look inside the box under my bed will take me back
To when my favorite color was black

In 2006
When we were just kids
Those were the days to remember
Please don't wake me up until September ends
Mom it's not a phase
And when the working day is over
I will still be marching in the black parade

Sometimes I get the feeling life could never be like the past
When my problems could be wiped away once loud emo music blasts
With black shirts and neon laces
Using black make up to paint our faces
All my friends and I
Our hair dyed black
And I wish I could just go back

(Mom wheres my straightening iron?)

In 2006
When we were just kids
Those were the days to remember
Please don't wake me up until September ends
Mom it's not a phase
And when the working day is over
I will still be marching in the black parade

And when our favorite band is in town
In the front row we freaked out

It's not a phase
I'm still an emo
I never stop
I'll always sing those songs
It's in our hearts
It's in our memories
We're staying strong and we'll carry on

It's not a phase
I'm still an emo
Look at my face
Do I look like I am not okay
To this day I'm still part of the black parade

In 2006
When we were just kids
Those were the days to remember
Please don't wake me up until September ends
Mom it's not a phase
And when the working day is over
I will still be marching in the black parade

(It's not a phase)
(I'm still an emo)
(Look at my face)
(Do I look like I am not okay)

To this day I'm still part of the black parade
