Song 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 hundreth 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.
Lets say goodbye,
The hundreth 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...

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.
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.

Beautiful song. I remember reading the title, and thinking "what the hell?" Instead of taking swimming lessons, i'll take drowning lessons? I thought it was quite silly. However, I'm glad I listened to this song first after getting Bullets

im adding to the first comment up there... This is sooooo one of my fav songs as well, i ADORE MCR, my favorite band by far. A lot of people do say they're a new band, but the cds have quite a time between them where the band changed as people, and of cours etheir music is going to be different then the first cd. I love how different every song is on BOTH cds.

Drowning Lessons has got to be one of my favorite My Chemical Romance songs, Ghost of You (I wrote a fanfic about the video, so it's got a special place in my heart) and Skylines and Turnstiles being the first and second. Ray's solo at the end, while being almost elementary, is amazingly beautiful.
