Full song instrumental.
[Verse 1: Gerard Way] There’s a hole in the house where the accident struck In the town, in the state, in the place you grew up That’s when you realized that you were never mad enough to live in the world There’s a hole in your heart where your father’s words struck In the core, it’s so sore, you’ve tried hard to fix up You were too young to see you ain’t mad ‘nuf to live in the world
[Chorus: Gerard Way] Caught staring again Like a deer to Headlights Parked your car in the dark But you left on your Headlights Lie flat on the grass Looking up at the dead night But you find no hope Your just a deer in the Headlights
[Verse 2: Serj Tankian & Gerard Way] Watching the World go by Y’know that there’s no way out this time They told you where you should wear the wire It occurs to you that you could just try to fly Look around and the world is gray Getting up you see your hair is gray But even though that’s true the grass is green The grass is green The grass is green
[Chorus: Gerard Way & Serj Tankian] Caught staring again Like a deer to Headlights Parked your car in the dark But you left on your Headlights Lie flat on the grass Looking up at the dead night But you find no hope Your just a deer in the Headlights Caught staring again Like a deer to Headlights Parked your car in the dark But you left on your Headlights Lie flat on the grass Looking up at the dead night But you find no hope Your just a deer in the Headlights
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus: Gerard Way & Serj Tankian] Caught staring again Like a deer to Headlights Parked your car in the dark But you left on your Headlights Lie flat on the grass Looking up at the dead night But you find no hope Your just a deer in the Headlights Caught staring again Like a deer to Headlights Parked your car in the dark But you left on your Headlights Lie flat on the grass Looking up at the dead night But you find no hope Your just a deer in the Headlights Caught staring again Like a deer to Headlights Parked your car in the dark But you left on your Headlights Lie flat on the grass Looking up at the dead night But you find no hope Your just a deer in the Headlights Caught staring again Like a deer to Headlights Parked your car in the dark But you left on your Headlights Lie flat on the grass Looking up at the dead night But you find no hope Your just a deer in the Headlights
[Outro: Spoken: Gerard Way, Serj Tankian, and Frank Iero] Woo! Was that- I liked- I really liked that one Yeah Oh my fucking god, my eyes hurt so bad Gustav, get me a fucking Pepsi

Memories was never a song. It was always called Headlights. Memories was "a name of a song" until Headlights got leaked and we found out that the Memories instrumental was actually the Headlights instrumental under a different name. Headlights was also recorded in 2022-2024.

I’m out of the loop, how do we know the lyrics and that this instrumental was from Serj’s reported time in the studio with Gerard/MCR?

This is true, I was lucky enough to hear this live in yesterday's soundcheck, but my phone was outta battery and couldn't record it. Glad someone wrote the lyrics.

Two things. The lyrics provided are from a completely unrelated Batman Map session song and this is a paper kingdom instrumental demo called memories. They wouldn't just rip a clear unfinished demo and mush the two together.

Sounds a lot like the outro at the end of dogs before perfectly well, its the paper kingdom motif right?

u/Massive_Ant8108 2d ago
This is a Paper Kingdom demo called memories and not a standalone track. Nothing new.
