Chronology
"This Is How I Disappear" "The Sharpest Lives" "Welcome to the Black Parade"


"The Sharpest Lives" is the fourth track on My Chemical Romance's album The Black Parade. It is right before the hit song "Welcome to the Black Parade".

In a recent interview for Guitar World, Gerard Way said that "The Sharpest Lives" (a song that dealt with his former drug problem) was "easier to write about that on this record" because he had some distance from it. One usually overlook detailed is seen in the title "The Sharpest Lives", My Chemical Romance fans would recognize something familar in the song Give 'Em Hell, Kid from Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge in which, nearby the end the song the narrator states "some might say, we are made from the sharpest things you say" which can be easily related to "The Sharpest Lives", however, it might just be a coincidence.
